Cecil The Lion Vs. Cecile The Planned Parenthood President
It’s Cecil vs. Cecile. Cecil, the African lion vs Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood.
Surely these horrifying undercover videos of Planned Parenthood doctors discussing the sale of fetal body parts from aborted babies would receive more media coverage than a famed lion right?
Yea, right. The lion wins and isn't Cecile Richards jumping for joy? Read below from the Media Research Center. The headline of the article is titled:
Nets Covered Cecil the Lion More in 1 Day Than Abortion Videos in 2 Weeks
America’s anchors have spoken: the shooting of one lion vastly outweighs the trafficking of baby parts by a taxpayer-funded abortion giant.
In other words, the broadcast news shows spent more time in one day on Cecil the Lion than they did on the Planned Parenthood videos in two weeks.
The three broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS censored the third video released Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) exposing Planned Parenthood’s practice of harvesting aborted baby parts -- censored it at Planned Parenthood’s urging. But the news shows did find more than 14 minutes for a more important story: the “outrage” over the shooting of Cecil, a famed African lion, by an American dentist.
Tuesday, the networks spent 5 minutes, 44 seconds during their evening news shows on Cecil -- and that’s not even counting the teasers. Wednesday morning, ABC, NBC and CBS lamented over the lion for 8 minutes, 17 seconds.
But they couldn’t do the same for a story of babies “picked” apart by tweezers.
Since the release of CMP’s first video, the three broadcast news shows have spent a total of 11 minutes and 13 seconds on the story exposing the horrific practices by taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood.

What is this world coming to? Should we be outraged at what this American dentist did to poor Cecil? Of Course! But someone needs to explain to me how abortion politics and a "women's right to choose" has anything to do with the grotesque practice of Planned Parenthood doctors caught on tape?
Are we that desensitized as a society? Has it really come to that? Can we not just leave politics out of this equation and see this for what it is? The mainstream media should be ashamed of themselves.
