The Press

Oh look, more spin!

Quelle surprise!  Dept
Naw, no bias here:
Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, the congressman who led anti-abortion rights Democrats in the House during health care negotiations, will retire this year, CBS News has learned...
Now correct me if I’m wrong, but as I recall Stupak’s sticking point was not about whether anybody has a “right” to an abortion, but whether abortions should be eligible for federal funding.

Which is a long way from being “anti-abortion-rights”— unless among those “rights” you’re including the “right to make somebody else pay for it.”  Which appears to be the way the folks at 51 W. 52nd St. want things.

(Just another example of the spin that seems to be an ever-present part of the coverage purveyed by our friends in the DSM.)
