More Guardian Bias

The Guardian (Thursday Dec 1st) show a shocking bias when they report on the latest battle in America's abortion wars. In the report, following the new battle over parental consent for under 18s, the 'right on', pro choice liberal activists are holding signs saying 'Save Roe', while the anti abortion protesters are said to be 'singing hymns'. Sure, many pro lifers are religious, some may have been singing hymns. But all? I doubt it. In fact BBC News showed some with red tape stuck to their mouths, they could hardly have been singing with their mouths taped up.

If journalism is to be objective it must show both sides of the issue. But this is obviously too much for the Guardian. A photograph is showed of a protestor holding a 'keep abortion legal' placard outside the court. If it was an objective report then why were the banners of the opposite sign not photographed?

But bear in mind that the 'Grauniad' also failed to give adequate coverage to the abortion of Manna Begum's child following the honour killing of her fiancee( they reported the first death but not the following). Clearly they can't print anything that puts abortion in a bad light - as that would confuse readers on the issue of 'choice'. Too much for them.

Can adults decide for themselves or can't they?

The guardian is an atrocious display of fervent and outlandish left liberal bias. That is why the paper is not taken with any slightest ounce of seriousness by the majority within and around the bell curve of the centrist views, leaving its publications to be scoured only by a scattering of tie-dyed and corduroy pants clad, socialist devotees.

Way not to be biased Lucy, because I am sure all socialists wear corduroys and tie-dyed shirts, and... here's a good generalization: People from the South don't read books(;, wow generalizing makes you look like an ass!
