Carhart Situation - The Washington Post Is Concerned

Yes, indeed!  The Washington Post is concerned (VERY concerned, I tell you!) about the news relating to the botched abortion committed by Leroy Carhart in Germantown MD last week.  However, lest you think that the Washington Post, bastion of all pro-abortion proponents, is finally regaining a conscience, think again lest you be disappointed.  They're concerned, all right - but they're concerned that Carhart's despicable behavior is seeing the light of day and not being swept under the rug.

The columnist is Petula Dvorak.  Her perspective is clear.  You'll note how she refers to Madison as a "wanted baby".  As she progresses with the story and relates the discovery of Madison's problems, we see that "baby" becomes "pregnancy", as in "terminate the pregnancy".  We see how trusting she is of the various Maryland authorities:  you know, the authorities that 1) licensed the Germantown facility without even conducting an inspection and 2) awarded Carhart his Maryland medical license even though they also acknowledged the gross inaccuracies in the license application.  I am not so trusting.

The Washington Post is very concerned about HIPAA.  I'd like to see similar outrage expressed towards the Carhart clinic personnel who dumped confidential clinic information (along with biohazards) in an ordinary dumpster.  Now there's a HIPAA violation if ever there was one!  Let Dvorak wax indignant about that one, if she's so concerned about "privacy".  But I suspect we'll hear crickets, for the goal is about shutting us up and nothing else.

Romney Responds To Attacks - What Do The Reporters Do?

This morning GOP candidate Mitt Romney held a press conference during which he voiced some well-said criticism of the Obama administration's handling of the situation - including the Cairo apology.  The full clip can be seen at Fox News.

Before Romney appeared, the reporters in attendance were, uh, chatting amongst themselves as it were.  In reality, they were coordinating questions that they would ask Romney later on.  However, some mikes were live and their contrivances were recorded for us all to hear, thanks to Newsbusters and RightScoop.  Such naughty little boys and girls!  Would they have been similarly conspiring against the Messiah Most Miserable if he were the one speaking?  I think we all know the answer to that; they'd be lobbing him softball questions, for they worship him as Dear Leader.  They might as well drop all pretenses of objective journalism.  Even if they don't, such pretenses are being stripped from them.  It's interesting to listen to this one first, and then to Romney's address (that's how the events occurred anyway.

Pravda On The Potomac

That is the nickname many of us gave to the Washington Post many years ago, owing to its leftward tilt in both its editorials and reporting.  Only a few days ago did I learn just how correct we were.

This report from LifeSite News details how the Washington Post has been allowing itself to be an outlet for propaganda arms of both China and Russia.  I commend the LifeSite News to your reading - no need to rehash it here.

I will emphasize one thing.  Accuracy in Media hypothesizes that the Post is prostituting itself because it (Post) has been losing money.  Well why do you suppose that is?  Is it because many people (such as me) who once subscribed got sick of throwing their hard-earned money at shills for progressives?  Ya think?  I wonder just how much this little fiasco will cost them?
