They have issued a call for the news networks to cover this year\u2019s annual March for Life. Hopefully, it will bear fruit.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/nb-staff\/2017\/01\/25\/alliance-fair-coverage-life-issues-networks-cover-march-life\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">mrcNewsBusters<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>RESTON, VA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Alliance for Fair Coverage of Life Issues announces its second annual\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/coverthemarch.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#CoverTheMarch<\/a>campaign today, calling on the media to cover the 2017 March for Life and cover it fairly. The annual event held in Washington, D.C. draws hundreds of thousands of peaceful participants from all over the country. This year\u2019s March for Life, Friday, January 27, marks the 44th anniversary of\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Alliance for Fair Coverage of Life Issues<\/strong>, a coalition of 25 pro-life organizations and two members of Congress was formed in 2016 in response to the consistently poor coverage media outlets have given to important, newsworthy life issues. Last year\u2019s censorship of the March for Life (which received a total of only 35 seconds of coverage from the broadcast networks) confirmed the media\u2019s contempt for those who don\u2019t share their liberal social agenda. Since the media covered the pro-abortion \u201cWomen\u2019s March on Washington\u201d this year for 4,518 seconds, they should give comparable coverage to the hundreds of thousands of peaceful pro-life marchers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brent Bozell, President of the Media Research Center:<\/strong><br>\n\u201cThis Friday is a true test for the media. They provided massive, and fawning coverage of the pro-abortion \u2018Women\u2019s March\u2019 just four days ago. The media\u2019s coverage of the \u2018March for Life\u2019 in two days, both in time and tone, will tell you everything you need to know about their support for abortion. With media\u2019s trust in the basement, they will be exposed for the partisan hacks they are if they don\u2019t give pro-lifers the same amount of coverage. I\u2019m not holding my breath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year we march.
