The annual March for Life, which attracted over 200,000 participants from around the country, marked the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> anniversary of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.<\/p>\n<p>The only network that offered coverage was CBS, which dedicated 15 seconds to the March in the context of highlighting moderate Republican opposition to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Meanwhile, NBC, ABC, and Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo completely ignored the March. The networks did, however, find time to cover &#8220;DeflateGate,&#8221;\u00a0sidecar dogs in America, and Prince Andrew\u2019s sex scandal.\u00a0Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell reacted:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If these were a few dozen hipsters protesting corporate profits while taking selfies with iPhones, the networks would have wall-to-wall coverage. The media cannot be bothered to cover 200,000 pro-lifers who came to Washington in the middle of winter to march for the unborn.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s shameful. If you\u2019re throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers, the media will provide sympathetic coverage to your cause. If you\u2019re standing up for the most vulnerable in our society, the media turn a deaf ear. With each passing day, the media continue to hemorrhage their credibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/\">Live Action<\/a> President <a href=\"http:\/\/l\">Lila Rose<\/a> stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\">The continued media blackout on abortion disregards the primary obligation of journalism: to accurately report, investigate, and tell truth without bias. While mainstream media perpetuate a silence on the March for Life, the unjust killing of 3,000 preborn children in the womb by abortion continues each and every day. We must speak for society&#8217;s littlest and weakest members, and give voice to those who are the victims of the greatest human rights abuse of our day.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb-staff\/2015\/01\/26\/nineteen-pro-life-groups-join-mrcs-brent-bozell-denouncing-media-blackout#sthash.T3HBJlT3.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\">Continue reading\u00a0at NewsBusters&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nineteen leading pro-life organizations joined the Media Research Center to chastise the networks for their near blackout of the 2015 March for Life.
