Brent Bozell and the News not fit to print

At Townhall, Brent Bozell writes an article about news coverage (actually the lack thereof) of the March for Life.

His point is the unbalanced reporting on protests in America by the major news outlets.  He says:

But it's much more than that. The "news" media are militantly pro-abortion and are not about to give oxygen to the pro-life cause even when it is undeniably newsworthy.

If you're throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers or burning down pizza parlors in furtherance of a cause endorsed by the press, reporters will provide comprehensive and sympathetic coverage. Think Ferguson. If you're peacefully standing up for the most vulnerable in our society, you get nothing.

Bozell contrasts the reporting at major news outlets (NBC, Washington Post, CBS, Reuters, and the Associated Press) for protests involving a few to a few dozen protesters, with the lack of reporting for the March for Life 2015, which involved an estimated half million in DC.

You should read the entire article.
