• ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • ALERT • 98,124 People Sign MRC Petition Demanding ABC, CBS, and NBC Report the Truth About Planned Parenthood

To help force the liberal media to report the truth about the horrific actions of Planned Parenthood — exposed in 10 undercover investigative videos so far that show the harvesting of aborted baby parts — the MRC has established an exclusive MRC Action Web page. The page is designed to allow people to watch those videos; read articles about Planned Parenthood’s atroci- ties; learn about its racist founder Margaret Sanger; and sign a petition demanding that the media tell the truth about the $1 billion abortion giant, which receives more than $500 million in taxpayer funding every year. 98,124 people signed the petition and it was delivered to executives at ABC, CBS, and NBC on September 3. As more people sign, those newer signatures on the petition will also be sent to the networks. The liberal media have censored for nearly two months now the 10 undercover videos. ABC, CBS, and NBC also completely ignored — zero coverage — a Sept. 9 House Judiciary Committee hearing on the videos and All the proof you need. federal funding of Planned Parenthood. In addition to the petition, the MRC Action website This censorship by the leftist media to protect the features our latest research largest abortion business in the country is “outrageous on liberal media bias on and inexcusable,” said MRC President Brent Bozell. the Planned Parenthood ABC News was particularly egregious, he said, be- scandal, the history of Planned Parenthood and cause it “has not even aired one second of video footage all of the damning Center (with audio) of the investigative videos” produced by for Medical Progress the Center for Medical Progress. undercover videos.

The 4 Watchdog OCTOBER 2015 Bits & Pieces Ken Burns, Liberal Jerk Documentary film-maker Ken Burns, now starring in pledge drives for PBS, spewed his left-wing opinion that “birtherism” is just like the N-word. On Face the Nation to discuss PBS re-running, again, his Civil War documentary, Burns whined, “We pretend with the election of Barack Obama, that we’re in some kind of post-racial society, and of course, you know, we’re not! The Onion magazine got it right when he was inaugurated. It said, ‘Black man given worst job in world.’” Politico, not happy with Donald Trump’s views on illegal immigration, Burns droned on, “And what we’ve smears him as a modern-day George Wallace, and claims at a huge seen is a kind of reaction to this — the Trump rally in Alabama “the ghost of George Wallace loomed large.” birther movement, to which Donald Trump is one of the authors of, is another politer way of saying the N-word. It’s just more Trump = Wallace? sophisticated, and a little bit more clever. Donald Trump’s strong position on illegal immigration makes He’s other. He’s different. What’s actually him the equivalent of racial segregationist George Wallace, other and different about him? It turns out it’s according to Politico’s Ben Schreckinger. In an article headlined the same old thing, it’s the color of his skin.” “Donald Trump, Alabama and the Ghost of George Wallace,” Or maybe it’s his socialism? Politico thumps that “it was immigration, not segregation, that brought some 20,000 southerners” to a Trump rally in Mobile, Left-wing Ala., “but the ghost of George Wallace loomed large.” documentarian Schreckinger hammered on, “Wallace, an avowed segregation- and PBS fundraiser ist, was the last presidential candidate to win electoral votes as Ken Burns lectures that the “birther a third-party candidate. The threat of Trump doing so, propelled movement” is by a hardline immigration stance that many have condemned as racist, that it’s just racist, looms over the Republican Party now as it did over the a “politer way of Democratic Party then.” To somehow prove his smear of Trump as saying the N-word” a racist, Schreckinger added that at the rally “the vast majority to attack President of supporters were white.” Politico quickly glossed over Sen. Jeff Obama who is Sessions’ introduction of Trump at the rally, and that Sessions had the “other” and helped craft Trump’s immigration plan. “different.”

Gender-Fluid Target After retail chain Target decided to “phase out gender-based signage” by not advertising differences between boys’ and girls’ items in its stores, the leftist media couldn’t praise the company enough. The Washington Post cheered how the change showed “women and girls confronting female stereotypes,” and also somehow raised “awareness of the transgender community.” USA Today claimed a problem was solved: “Kids visiting Target will no longer have to consider their gender while shopping.” The popular Bustle website lectured, “Removing stigmas from children’s toys and products is a multistep process. The first and crucial step, as Target has realized, is removing unnecessary classifications. But the next is providing an equality in toys.” MTV applauded the “corporate charge on smashing gender norms,” stressing that Target’s change “is a win for you” and “a win for everyone.” Remember this next time you’re thinking about shopping at Target.

But those, ‘Oh, that Joe’ moments are part of his political charm.” n AP’s Julie Pace whines about the GOP presidential contenders, “There’s not much diversity in terms of gender and race.
