The Tale of 2 headlines

Speaks volumes

from JoeUser Forums

Here are 2 headlines from that AP:

"A 13-year-old giant panda gave birth to a cub at San Diego Zoo, but a second baby died in the womb, officials said Wednesday."--Associated Press, Aug. 3

"A cancer-ravaged woman robbed of consciousness by a stroke has given birth after being kept on life support for three months to give her fetus extra time to develop."--Associated Press, Aug. 3

Note both are from the same day.  Also note that an unborn panda is a baby, but a child born to a brain dead woman is still a fetus.

This is your brain.  This is your brain on stupidity.

Any questions?

What did they do?

The Roberts trash job?  Where they accused him of defending AND condoning Abortion Clinic Bombings?  They just pulled the ads because they said it had been 'misconstrued'.  No, As Factcheck.org said, it was not even misleading.  it was outright false!

Oh, right. Just to get this straight, you do now that I'm not a member or a particularly ardent supporter of NARAL right? I just don't happen to think this article had any ulterior motives.

Ulterior motive? It was written before the NARAL ad appeared.  They just stepped into it big time.

I think we're talking about two different things. My entire point is that I don't think the headline you highlighted was done with any malicious intent. That's it.

In that I will agree.  Just fear and ignorance, not malicious intent.
