According to Newsbusters<\/a>, as tens of thousands of pro-lifers rallied for life in Washington, D.C. on Friday for the March for Life, major television networks turned a blind eye. While this treatment is par for the course, it’s what they chose to promote in its place that has people talking.<\/p>\n

“The Friday evening and Saturday morning shows for ABC, NBC, and CBS all ignored Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. where thousands turned out in the cold and the snow to protest the killing of the unborn,” reported Alex Christy. “Friday’s NBC Nightly News was the worst offender because not only did they ignore pro-lifers, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers.”<\/p>\n

Christy explained that NBC Nightly News<\/a> chose not to report on the March but to report instead on high school seniors and their decision-making process regarding where to attend college. Reporter Savannah Sellers spoke with a family whose daughter Grace is in the middle of the college admissions process. Sellers said, “School ranking, academics, tuition costs, all factors in the big decision of picking a college but for South Carolina high school senior Grace, add the state’s abortion laws.”<\/p>\n

Grace explained that she is “not comfortable being in a state that doesn’t value who I am or value my rights as a person.”<\/p>\n
