Bass-Ackwardness In Liberal America

Something's wrong here:

A little food for thought from Newsbusters:

At the time of this writing, there are nearly 7,000 references to "George Tiller" in Google News.

There are under 500 for "William Long."

George Tiller, of course, was the Kansas abortion doctor murdered Sunday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

William Long was the 23-year-old military recruiter murdered Monday morning by a man who allegedly had political and religious motives.

George Tiller dedicated his life to killing fetuses.

William Long dedicated his to killing terrorists.

One story still has 'legs,' the other is yesterday's news. Some priorities you've got there, MSM.

Some interesting comments in AoS's post:

Someone has already commented on Twitter saying Tiller was a public figure, while the soldier was not. Granted, but how often are US soldiers murdered on US soil by a terror suspect?

DrewM makes an interesting point in the comments. When Dr. Tiller was murdered, the White House released a statement on Sunday afternoon. As of 11:15 a.m. EST, the Commander in Chief has yet to release a statement condemning the murder of a member of the armed forces by a suspected terrorist.

In my humble opinion, there are two incredibly disturbing points here.  First, that the media is quite willing to sensationalize the killing of an abortion doctor in order to smear the pro-life movement, and second, that Obama is clearly more upset by the death of Tiller than an American soldier at the hands of a terrorist.

Just think about that for a while.

There's my two cents.
