MEDIA BIAS ON PRO-LIFE CONFERENCE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The pro-family Population Research Institute (PRI) claims "blatant media bias" on the part of a reporter who "doubts" the PRI has video evidence of forced abortions in China -- even though the video is in the public record.
KPIX 5 television reporter Sean Comey, covering a recent PRI conference, claims he was "disappointed" when organizers "failed" to show him a video proving China's forced abortion practices, adding that he now "doubts" its existence. "They kept saying it's somewhere else. We can't get hold of it. It's kind of like my dog ate my homework. It disappeared and I never got to see it," Comey claimed.
PRI director Steve Mosher says the KPIX reporter did not do his homework. "Anyone can look this up in the Congressional Record. We showed [the tape] at the U.S. Senate hearings chaired by Barbara Boxer [in March 2002] ... The transcript can be downloaded at our Internet site."
Mosher noted that Comey's TV headline said "Anti-abortion Meeting," which Mosher called biased because the event was a "pro-life, pro-family conference."
