Why aren’t there any photos of the Pro-Life activists?

JonathanDoe

This is the most despicable thing I have ever seen. I have to give you credit, CBS, you did an excellent job of making sure that you didn’t snap any photos of the 400,000-some pro-lifers, and rather caught the 100 (very high estimate) counter-protestors. That means your shutterbugs only caught .00025 of all of the people there. You must have had to work very hard to make sure you didn’t accidentally include any prolifers. And people blame Fox News of being biased!!! >: (

C. Chatelin

Huh, are you kidding: photos of the 20 defendants of Roe v Wade and nothing of the tens of thousands of people who gathered from all over the country to defend the right to life of the unborn? 9Not to mention your reporter yesterday who was tripping over herself trying to say “anti-choice” and anti-abortion in the same sentence, to avoid pro-life… Media bias at its finest. I’m back on WTOP.

More like hundreds of thousands…. This year it was between 300-400,000. I guess the reporters must have (conveniently) missed them…
Shiela Glynn Fallon

There were hundreds of thousands of joyful youth. CBS, next time please send a photo journalist who wants to report the story not create it. I was there in a sea of joyful youth all united to protect the unborn. But thanks for giving the handful of pro-abortion advocates their 15 minutes of fame. If it were not for your reporting, I would not have known they were there.

Nate

What a despicable deception, CBS. As other commenters have noted, there were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pro-life protesters marching past the Supreme Court, and yet you manage to use a photograph of a handful of pro-abortion demonstrators to encapsulate the event? Disgusting.
Arthur Jacobs

I guess we’re playing ‘Let’s pretend’. No photos, which actually reflect the headline,
just the the ones that obviously reflect the bias of the so-called ‘pro-choice’ media.
You people are so predictable.

NewsBusters| CBS’s DC Website: Only ‘Pro-Choice Activists’ Showed Up For Roe Anniversary

So sorry your cameraman ran out of film before he got around to the real rally.
FloridaProLife

I was there yesterday and rallied with 27,000 Catholic youths at the Verizon Center and DC Armory then went to the march with at least a 100,000 more. Yet all you found were pictures of the insignificant number of pro-abortion protestors? (Kudos for being able to photograph every one of them, by the way.) How is that even possible? When Conservatives talk about “Liberal Media Bias,” this is precisely what we are mean. Disgusting.
pds

Fair and balanced journalism. NOT.
FT

C”BS” reporting at it’s worst.
RBR

Wow! This is really something. I’ve lived in third world countries governed by military juntas, and this ridiculous bias in “reporting” ranks right up with any slanted news stories I ever saw there. These photos are a sick joke. I was there at the March, in the midst of the tens and tens of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands, but I won’t purport that without evidence) of peaceful marchers, praying and witnessing to the truth that innocent life must not be slaughtered out of inconvenience. Shame on you, CBS. This is not journalism.
Greg

Too bad your photographer couldn’t seem to turn around and take pictures of the several hundred thousand Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion marchers who were there. This reminds me of of Baghdad Bob or whatever his name was saying “There are NO Americans in Baghdad!” You people are pathetic and irrelevant.
Mary Eshelman

And you dare to call yourselves journalists? A journalist reports both sides of a story…there’s not ONE SINGLE PICTURE OF THE 400,000+ people who were there to stand up against abortion! The story here was The March for LIFE, not the march for abortion.
Tammy

Talk about bias!!! What about the 1/2 a million opping abortion? CBS is off my channel list. I want the truth in media. Not what they want me to think..
KristyZ

Wow! Stellar reporting, CBS. Did you also PAY the couple of pro-choice people photographed to show up yesterday? I know a lot of effort must have gone into NOT getting a picture of the hundreds of thousand people who were rallying for LIFE.
Joann

This is why we don’t watch or listen to mainstream media anymore. Media bias here, as usual. Cowards. All.
Marc

This makes me sick. Did you know? Media is latin for middle. You are supposed to be fair and unbiased. You photograph all 20 of the pro-death protesters, yet fail to represent even one of the 150,000+ pro-lifers.
It just goes to show that you don’t represent the whole story, only the side which is most monetarily profitable for you.
Conclusively, I bet you wouldn’t be so rabidly pro-abortion if your mother had aborted you…oh, wait! You wouldn’t even exist!!!!!!!!
Nicole Cloutier

What if Mary said “No”?

The media is a bunch of mindless lemmings who lack true courage and backbone which any proud American should possess. How is abortion any different than the holocaust? Hitler claimed certain groups of people were sub-human too!!! There is no other way to describe this than a government-subsidized genocide, in the name of the “choice”, or as Hitler would have deemed it, “superiority”, of certain people. There is NO situation which could EVER justify the murder of children: Don’t inhumanely abuse a child for the crimes of his/her parents!!!
John Doe

*****Look at thumbnails numbers 1 & 4******

I guess there’s not enough pro-death marchers to have a sufficient supply of photos without taking doubles of the same people!!!! Idiots……
LisaKr

Of the people shown in the pics above, three people are doubled in the photos, and one is tripled… This amounts to a grand total of only 11 real individual people carrying pro-choice signs in the art gallery!!! Compare this to the recorded amount of over 100,000 pro-LIFE advocates which marched on the same day…..I was there!!!!
smile.everyday.

AMERICA, YOU ARE BEING LIED TO.

I am really speechless. I stood and watched the march go by me for 3 HOURS. this is a disgrace.

stop trying to make our efforts look like they were equally matched. I took a 16 hour bus ride to DC to cheer myself hoarse and pray nonstop in the rain and cold, along with 400000+ others to have our voices, the voices of Americans, heard. we are NOT 11 prochoicers.

WE ARE THE PROLIFE. this was OUR march.
Katie

Hilarious that hundreds of thousands of pro-life marchers showed up, compared to less than 100 pro-choice demonstrators, and yet CBS “news” can’t be bothered to put up even one photo of the pro-life side. Mainstream media in this country is a pathetic joke.
Kimberly Wedel

I am disgusted CBS. I will boycott your channel and I will convince everyone I know to boycott CBS and it’s sponsors. I can’t belive the ridiculous level of bias. There were tens of thousands of pro-life people defending the rights of unborn babies and you managed to find the few pro-abortion stragglers in the crowd. That is appaling. You can’t hide the truth. Get with the trend people. More than half of our great nation are now pro-life. You will bw called out on this. How are you going to defend your actions.
andy

And these news stations scratch their heads and wonder why they have no viewers and that Fox News is thriving. Here is a free lesson, be a REAL news station and report the truth. Oh wait, you don’t want to accept the truth
Keri Jensen Cruser

Was your photographer actually unable to see the THOUSANDS of people directly behind him, or did they just think the dozen folks on that side of the street made a better photo?
Come on, this is a new low in biased media. I’d advise an apology and/or an actual accounting of the events, showing the thousands of people showing up in droves who truly oppose the anti-life culture in this country.
Get out of the pockets of the folks in power and start doing some actual reporting!
