Media Coverage Differed in Killing of Abortion Doctor, Army Recruiter
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/03/media-offers-disparate-coverage-abortion-doctors-killing-army-recruiter/

Call it a tale of two murders: one involving an abortion doctor that captured days of media attention and another involving an Army recruiter that has barely registered a blip on most news radar screens.

By contrast, the murder of Army Pvt. William Long and the wounding of Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula outside a recruiting center in Little Rock, Ark., has drawn relatively scant coverage despite the background of the suspected shooter: he was a convert to Islam who police say probably had "political and religious motives for the attack."

Conservative media analyst Brent Bozell said the difference in responses comes down to politics.

"Politics dictated that they be outspoken on the murder of Dr. 'Killer' Tiller, but be silent on the murder" of Long, he said, explaining that a long-held double standard by the media renders the latter unremarkable.

Bozell said the double standard rears its head when an abortion foe is involved in a deplorable act, leading to censure of the anti-abortion movement.

"But when you have things such as the Unabomber killing people for environmental reasons, no one in the press ever went to anyone in the environmental community asking them if they needed to apologize or reflect on their words and their actions."

6. Media Matters exposes O'Reilly carrying on this lie

http://mediamatters.org/research/200906040005

O'Reilly falsely claimed that on CNN "only Anderson Cooper" covered army recruiter's murder

SUMMARY: Bill O'Reilly falsely claimed that on CNN, "nly Anderson Cooper at 10 o'clock covered the story" of the slaying of Army recruiter Pvt. William Long. In fact, in addition to the coverage on Anderson Cooper 360, CNN covered Long's shooting on 15 shows from June 1 through June 3.

In fact, in addition to the coverage on Anderson Cooper 360, the following CNN shows covered Long's shooting on June 1 through June 3:

* The 1 p.m. ET hour of the June 1 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 2 p.m. hour of the June 1 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 3 p.m. hour of the June 1 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The June 1 edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight

* The June 1 edition of Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull.

* The 6 a.m. hour of the June 2 edition of American Morning.

* The 9 a.m. hour of the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 10 a.m. hour of the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 11 a.m. hour of the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 1 p.m. hour of the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 2 p.m. hour of the June 2 edition of CNN Newsroom.

* The 6 p.m. hour of the June 2 edition of The Situation Room.

* The June 2 edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight.

2. Environmentalists

never accused polluters for damaging the environment because they enjoy it.

Ted Kaczynsky was a nut case NOT egged on by environmental activists.

As usual, Fox takes two entirely unrelated events and connects them to misinform.

3. It's odd because I watch MSNBC

and last night they gave a lot of time to both stories. There's a reason Fox is blacked out on my TV. There's more real news in an episode of UFO Hunters and Monster Quest than a whole day of Fox broadcasting.

5. You will not be surprised to hear that a story on a converted Muslim was wall-to-wall on Fox

all day yesterday. In fact it was covered at the top and bottom of every hour of "news" that I had on yesterday on every channel.

4. Truth is in the eye of the beholder--appears to be standard at Fox

Apparently Fox did not watch CNN and MSNBC. Often I thought
they were bending over backwards to appease the Right or at
least not offend the Right.

Their specialty is trying to drive wedges. Ws(Fox) defend the
Military --those others defend Baby Killers.
