Anybody still unsure about there being bias in the media?
Los Angeles Times Reporter Admits Inflating Mexico’s Illegal Abortion Count
A Los Angles Times news reporter has admitted that he inflated the number of illegal abortions he reported in a recent news story on Mexico. Hector Tobar reported that 1 million illegal abortions had been occurring there annually before the legislative assembly in Mexico City legalized abortions in the capital city.
In an editorial LifeNews.com carried earlier this month, NewsBusters blogger Dave Pierre challenged Tobar on the assertion.
Pierre noted how only 3,400 women have received abortions at 14 of the capital’s public hospitals in the six months since lawmakers legalized abortions there. With 40 percent of Mexicans living in the capital or within a day’s drive from it and so few abortions done legal, Pierre said there is no way so many illegal abortions would be done in the nation annually.
So where is the reporting on this? Why isn’t the LA Times reporting on their error? This comes out on their blog?!?
