Scarborough: Media Completely Biased on Abortion Issue

If these were conservatives caught on video…

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough clued his liberal MSNBC audience in on something that conservatives have known for a long time: the media is completely biased on the abortion issue.

During Friday morning's show, Scarborough and his entire panel, including co-host Mika Brzezinski, seemed to agree that things would be way different if these videos exposed conservatives selling aborted babies.

"You know," Scarborough began, "I've got to say of all the areas where I think there's media bias, I think the greatest area is on this issue."

It wasn't a complete shaming of the media, as Scarborough did add that for the most part reporters "try to be as fair as possible" and "do the best job they can." (Except actually investigating what goes on at Planned Parenthood.)

But he further insisted that the media comes with a "built-in bias" on abortion:

[W]hen it come to the issue of abortion, there is the greatest built-in bias. And it is completely cultural bias -- it's unintended. But if the roles were reversed -- we do this all the time but it's true -- and there is a group on the right doing what Planned Parenthood has done on the left [Mika adds, "Oh, lord!"] and is described on the left, there would be Justice Department, there would be indictments already going down.

Guest Michael Steele, an MSNBC political analyst, agreed and slammed the media for not "digging in" to the story (AKA, doing their job) and finding out what is true or not about these videos. And since the media don't do their job, Steele says there is a void filled by these citizen journalists willing to invest years in an investigation.
