Photo of the Day: Media Row at the Gosnell trial
"Well, we can’t have that, can we? Patheos’ Mollie Hemingway followed up with Mullane to confirm that the media section was really this empty..."
...".Mollie challenged reporters on Twitter yesterday why they write about abortion policy but not the Gosnell trial. ...
"Compare this to the media firestorm over the Komen Foundation’s all-too-temporary decision not to fund Planned Parenthood for breast-cancer screening over the tiny detail of PP not having any mammograms in their clinics. For that matter, Mollie writes, compare that to the “local crime story” coverage of the Trayvon Martin or Matthew Shepard cases:"....
Gosnell case and mainstream media: Answers, please? "The pressure is working. Conor Friedersdorf of the Atlantic today published a long story titled: “Why Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s Trial Should Be a Front-Page Story.” The piece goes through the various reasons — abuse of women, killing of babies, failure of government oversight and so much more — that news organizations should give prominent placement to the Gosnell trial. Friedersdorf held off on any judgments on why the media has made its various coverage decisions, pending a survey of “some of the editors and writers making coverage decisions.”"
Washington Post pledges Gosnell coverage "That’s something. Still waiting on the three big broadcast networks and the New York Times."

WaPo health policy reporter @SarahKliff has 80+ site hits on Akin/Fluke/Komen and zero on Gosnell? Would love an explanation.
