Casey Anthony, Jodi Arias, James Holmes, Adam Lanza — the list of “local crime” trials the media spend countless hours reporting and politicizing goes on and on. But the soul-crushing testimony about accused baby murderer Kermit Gosnell and his abortion house of horrors is “a local multiple-murder story … nothing more.”
Reserved media seating at the infanticide trial is nearly empty.

The #Gosnell hashtag is already trending as those who value life hold the absent MSM’s feet to the social media fire.

The media are pro-choice in what they cover, and they choose to abort the truth. #Gosnell

Why it's laughable to assert that #Gosnell is just a "local crime story" unworthy of national attention: http://t.co/D5FBTPGbfa

If #Gosnell had threatened to abort Big Bird's taxpayer funding, Politico and WaPo would have him on the front page.

Not joking: @politico has 13 stories mentioning Kermit the Frog, but not a single one on Kermit #Gosnell. pic.twitter.com/wLdexjz0MD

Dear MSM, you covered a false allegation that Romney "let" a man's wife die but thousands of innocent babies murdered…crickets! #Gosnell
— sandy (@tnacgal) April 12, 2013
If someone had killed Kermit Gosnell you can BET YOUR LIFE media would cover it. He (allegedly) kills SEVEN and *crickets*.

It is a testament to the bias in the media that people (even REPORTERS) don't know about the #Gosnell baby slaughter.

National Story Idea for @SarahKliff: "Obama once voted against laws that the Baby Butcher, Kermit #Gosnell, broke." #freestoryideasforSarah

I don't care whether one is pro-abortion or pro-life. This #Gosnell case should horrify anyone with a soul.
— Phineas Fahrquar (@irishspy) April 12, 2013
Indeed. But via Cosmocon, the media dare not infuriate soulless agenda-protectors.
The #gosnell trial is worrying the Left and bringing out the most vile ppl to defend murdering babies. http://t.co/Rbf1KKT7sC
— cosmoscon (@gdthomp01) April 12, 2013
@daveweigel Meh. The story needn't be nationalized. It's being used to attack reproductive health care for women.

Abortion providers are still my heroes.

Number of antis who have told the truth in tweets about Gosnell to me: 0. Their entire argument is built on a lie. Funny how that works.
— Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte) April 12, 2013
As Ace points out, the media blackout also keeps the horrifying details from the non-activist public. “After all, if the public hears of it, they may make The Wrong Decisions.” Read the whole thing.
Heaven forfend we have a “national conversation” about infanticide.
Can't get over description on pg. 101. One baby was so big his legs and feet hung over his shoebox coffin. http://t.co/dmnUUldcxb #Gosnell

"When you perform late-term “abortions” by inducing labor, you get babies. Live, breathing, squirming babies." #Gosnell

"He didn’t call it that. He called it “ensuring fetal demise.” The way he ensured fetal demise …" #Gosnell http://t.co/zcBa6Rhxp4

"…was by sticking scissors into the back of the baby’s neck and cutting the spinal cord. He called that “snipping.” #Gosnell…

"Over the years, there were hundreds of “snippings.” #Gosnell http://t.co/RsPbksjCpn

"[I]f Gosnell was unavailable, the “snipping” was done by one of his fake doctors, or even by one of the administrative staff." #Gosnell
— Sirius U. Guise (@vermontaigne) April 12, 2013
"We do know… during the rest of the week, Gosnell routinely aborted and killed babies in the 6th and 7th month of pregnancy." #Gosnell

Those details aren’t worthy of national coverage? Do your jobs, media.
#Gosnell, Schmosnell. MT @nycjim: Awful. Dozens of dogs have disappeared in Idaho. 4 have been found beaten & shot to death.

And what did the #Gosnell staff have to say on the stand? RT @ABC: Jodi Arias Tweets From Jail, Jabs at Prosecutor http://t.co/9nNsVinZ7i
— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) April 12, 2013
@ChuckTodd Will you get the WH stance on Kermit #Gosnell, since Obama voted against a law in IL senate to stop this type of action?
— Ridge (@ridge747) April 12, 2013
. @Ginger_Zee @joshelliottabc @evargasabc @gstephanopoulos @laraspencer @gma hey "journalists", why no #Gosnell coverage?
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) April 12, 2013
I would love to RT the "unbiased facts" of the #Gosnell trial. But, NONE OF THE #MSM IS COVERING IT. @ABC @ABCNews @NBCNews @CBSNews @CNN
— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) April 12, 2013
Tweet and retweet about the #Gosnell trial, post on Facebook and other social media sites and blog about the media blackout. Flood reporters with the hashtag and the uncomfortable truths they don’t want the public to know.
Bloggers, if you write abt #Gosnell on your sites, pls use the hashtag, so when it's shared it counts towards trending. Let's make it happen
— Sister Toldjah ツ (@sistertoldjah) April 12, 2013
Find the phone number, email address or facebook page of your local media outlets. Ask them why they are not covering this case #Gosnell
— ConservativeLatina (@Jary798) April 12, 2013
**Remember to use #Gosnell in all tweets. We want to get #Gosnell trending to bring greater exposure to the case**
