Conservative and new media are all over National Right to Life's August 11 revelation that, contrary to multiple statements otherwise, Barack Obama as state senator did indeed vote against identical legislation as the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act, putting him to the left of NARAL and every other US senator.

But as Warner Todd Huston writes today on NewsBusters.org, MSM has gone "mum".

I happen to know one of the big 3 network news organizations has been sitting on this since last Thursday, going so far as to pass up the chance to break the story.

Meanwhile, The Weekly Standard has a piece on this today.

And look for something by Wall Street Journal's John Fund tomorrow....

Here's a nice example of a liberal trying to hide the truth about Obama's support of infanticide. John Wilson in yesterday's Huffington Post wrote:

Freddoso is so obsessed with attacking Obama's support of abortion rights that the photo section of the book includes a full-page photo of Gianna Jessen, who "survived a saline abortion in 1977." What does this have to do with Obama? Absolutely nothing.

Well, actually, if Wilson had included David Freddoso's entire quote from his best-selling book, The case against Barack Obama, his readers would have concluded differently, which Wilson didn't want. Here's the page from the book (click to enlarge):

Interestingly, the title of Wilson's piece was, "David Freddoso's hatchet job."

And here's another little tidbit that should chill Obama's peeps. In an anti-Bush, pro-ACLU, pro-terrorist rights op ed in The Morning Call today, Nat Hentoff wrote:

I agree with Obama's reaction to the [Hamdan war crimes] trial; but if I vote for him, it will be with repugnance because he is so extreme a pro-abortionist that he opposed, in the Illinois legislature, a bill to preserve babies born alive after botched abortions.

"If"? Wow, that's coming from Obama's base.

So here's a strong opponent.

The good news is in the headline. The bad news is the mainstream media continues to obfuscate the fact that successes in the field of stem cell research are with ADULT stem cells, not EMBRYONIC.

Note the missing word in the headline and elsewhere in the piece. The writer clearly knows when to add the word "embryonic" when wanting to promote those stem cells, just not "adult"? Come on.

From the Associated Press via Live Science, August 8:

This is a wonderful breakthrough....

Adult stem cell research is accomplishing what research prostitutes promised would be the fruition of human embryo experimentation. Rather, escr has been a nonstarter, rife with problems such as the fact esc's grow into cancerous tumors.

Too bad the American public will only take away from this piece the vague understanding that stem cell research is good without knowing the most important factor here.

This is just another of hundreds of articles demonstrating MSM purposefully adds to the confusion about stem cell research with unclear reporting. Were this about successful human embryo experimentation, MSM would boast it in the headline and throughout.

But lest anyone get the crazy idea by this news that the focus should turn to ascr and off escr, the AP writer and the Harvard scientist (in MA, where last year Gov. Deval Patrick announced a $1.25 billion public funded spending package for human embryo experimentation) certainly attempt to quell that notion:

Of course.

The Detroit News features a story on the battle over an attempt to legalize the killing of human embryos for research.
