Gosnell and the Frayed Narrative

When you hear and see on TV dismembered bodies, legs ripped off, bloody killings, will it be the Gosnell mass murders, or the Boston Marathon bombings? (Hint: Do you even know who Gosnell is?)

Many seem to think that the MSM has, to this point, maintained its silence on the Gosnell mass murders by abortion because Gosnell (and many of his clients) are black and therefore immune under the Trayvon immunity narrative, and because abortion is endangered by knowing what really happens in unmonitored abbatoirs.

I think that is only partially valid. Based on the increasing tendency to admit to their actual feelings on “women’s health”, it appears that they very likely actually approve of killing the offending problem, the new human, regardless of when or how it is done. The recent admission by Planned Parenthood that an aborted but still living baby's fate is still up to the mother and physician, and is not considered to have rights of its own, illuminates this attitude.

As has been pointed out before, the client has paid for her progeny to be killed: she is owed a dead something, be it an embryo, fetus or baby. And that’s what Gosnell did: he obliged with dead somethings. Even if they had to be killed after they were out and on the table. So, for the Leftist Kill proponents, the abortions were performed successfully, where’s the problem?

In reality, it is all three issues that cause the Left to not care. The narrative for killing one’s progeny as "women's healthcare" must be umbesmirched; the protected category of black people must be unbesmirched; and the process was succeeding. So kill the story, no one needs to know about this: there is no lesson which we need to teach; the narrative remains intact if we just squelch the entire knowledge of what happened there.

But they cannot protect themselves. The information is widely available on the internet, even if it must come from foreign sources first. The web has destroyed the ability of the Left to control the information available to the herd. Some of the herd is bound to find out.

The MSM continues to pound nails into its own coffin. Credibility is received on merit, not on demand. Their Leftist narrative is fraying badly.

Addendum:
From the Wall Street Journal:

"Here is incontrovertible proof that Kirsten Powers and Conor Friedersdorf are correct in arguing that the murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell has received insufficient media coverage: On Friday, Snopes.com was compelled to publish a page confirming that the story is real, not merely an urban legend."
