The mainstream media’s bias is unavoidable, and it will hurt any and every piece of pro-life legislation. Let’s pray.
From NewsBusters. Following Monday’s NBC Nightly News, Tuesday’s CBS Evening News, and Wednesday’s CBS Mornings, ABC used Wednesday’s Good Morning America to join what’s the latest example of a manufactured, public relations-driven campaign by liberal activists to promote the plaintiffs of a new lawsuit seeking to chip away at Texas’s pro-life law that limits abortion to six weeks.

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings segment largely rehashed the piece from CBS’s PM counterpart on Tuesday. This time, however, CBS Mornings co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King had the setup:
In the first case of its kind in Texas, five women are suing the State claiming its abortion ban puts them in danger. Texas is one of 12 US States with the most restrictive new laws since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Janet Shamlian spoke to one of the plaintiffs who says she was not allowed to claim a medical emergency. …
