CBS News edited Northam's abortion comments
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cb...rtion-bill
Quote:CBS was accused Thursday of downplaying Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s comments on late-term abortions, in which critics say he indicated a child could be killed after birth.
"CBS Evening News with Jeff Glor" reportedly broke the media’s silence on Northam’s comments Thursday during a brief newscast in which political correspondent Ed O’Keefe ran a short soundbite that seemed to downplay the Virginia Democrat’s remarks by ignoring the full context of his statement, NewsBusters reported.
The story was framed as: "Virginia's governor today responded to critics after a move by Democrats to ease restriction on late-term abortions ignited an intense debate." Ed O’Keefe said Northam upset "anti-abortion rights activists," and that the outrage over Northam's remarks were "unfounded."
The segment began with Glor introducing Northam’s response to intense backlash. A soundbite of him doubling down on his comments played: “Virginia Democrats are on the side of ensuring women have access to the health care they need,” he said.
After going on to explain the logistics of the bill, O’Keefe played a short clip of Northam’s statement from his interview with WTOP.
“And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
But Northam’s full comments on the bill are what sparked outrage from conservatives, who felt he implied a child could be killed after birth.
“So in this particular example if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
The intent of his comments was not clear. But some conservative commentators and lawmakers took his remarks to mean he was discussing the possibility of letting a newborn die -- even "infanticide."
CBS did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

They'll over look his blackface yearbook picture and his black heart for the same reasons a few of our resident libs overlook radical Islam. It's for the greater agenda of defeating the U.S.A. Teach our children lies, let an insurgency of freeloaders into the country in mass, abort the next generation of our children, and destroy our morals and then their commie buddies won't have much to do.

It is beginning to look like Lenin was correct saying we would crumble from within and they would just pick up the pieces.

I'm afraid it's more like Khrushchev's "they'll give us small doses of socialism until one day we awake to find we are communists."
