Costello: Media Ignores Abortion Trial

Newspeak is here. And it works. And thanks to Newspeak, one of the most horrific trials in American history is proceeding with little press attention. You probably don't know who Kermit Gosnell is. What should be the trial of the century has been mostly blacked out by the mainstream media. There are a number of reasons for their negligence. One reason is that the vocabulary adopted by the elites makes the precise description of Gosnell's alleged crimes impossible. It's similar to the Associated Press' deletion of the accurate term "illegal alien" from their stylebook. I still remember how to speak English. Gosnell is accused of performing seven illegal, late-term, partial-birth abortions. In the course of these abortions, he delivered living, breathing, crying babies whom he then executed by severing their spinal cords.He decorated his office with jars containing the preserved feet of his tiny victims. They were his trophies/Michael Costello, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: We have also discussed this one before. Any further thoughts?
