One of yesterday's posts here linked you to a video of Mike Wallace's television interview with Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and I cited it as an example of how mainstream media has worked hand in glove with the organization in its sinister schemes.
That complicity continues to this day.
Consider the following storylines the media could pursue about Planned Parenthood but don't -- storylines that they absolutely love to cover about other organizations and individuals: Planned Parenthood's reception of huge amounts of government money; its posing as a charitable organization despite making exorbitant profits from selling abortion and contraception; its use of inferior products; its numerous examples of lies and hypocrisy; its racist and eugenics background; its overwhelming concentration on selling abortion despite advertising its adoption-friendly counseling; its profane promotions; its dramatically counter-productive sex education programs; its knee-jerk lobbying responses against any legislation that seeks to oversee (let alone limit) abortion; and its illegal activities in evading child protection and statutory rape laws.
Regarding the latter activity, a Planned Parenthood counselor in Memphis, Tennessee, was recently videotaped via a hidden camera instructing a 14-year-old girl to lie to a judge so he would not find out about her 31-year-old boyfriend and the girl could obtain a waiver for an abortion without her parents' knowledge. This criminal act follows a pattern that has been uncovered in several citizen-directed stings this last couple of years.
And yet the authorities will not act. They will not uphold the law.
What a hot and juicy story for the press, right?
No. The leftist media has avoided it like the proverbial plague. They see it. They know it. And they deliberately act to cover it up.
From Mike Wallace in 1957 through his counterparts here in 2009, the complicity in the crimes of Planned Parenthood continue.
I suggest mentioning details from this Tennessee story in letters to editors and your political representatives. Others may shirk their responsibilities; we must not follow their lead.
