In August, I posted a story (supporting statistical facts) about left-wing media bias, as it relates to the lack of coverage by main stream news outlets when Private long was gunned down by the converted radical Muslim terroist, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad.
At the time this article was posted on Political Integrity Now, not one mainstream news outlet has mention the story, yet it has appeared on several conservative blogs and Fox Nation. The man has been identified as James Pouillon and described as “just a nice, elderly gentleman who was disabled, used an oxygen tank and wore leg braces.”
Is it any wonder that if this had been a Pro-Choice activist, all the major news outlets would run this as front page news, claiming it to be the work of “radical right-wing terrorist”?
Reported from mlive.com:
OWOSSO, Michigan — State police at the Corunna post have confirmed a well-known anti-abortion activist was shot multiple times and killed this morning in front of Owosso High School.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released but the shooting occurred around 7:30 a.m., after most students were off the buses and safely inside the building, said Owosso schools transportation supervisor Jayne Campbell.
State police also confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody about 8:15 a.m. at the suspect’s home.
Owosso High School secretary Wendy Smith said the students remain in lockdown this morning and confirmed that no students were involved and all are safe with classes going on as normal. The shooting did not occur on school property, Smith said.
Meanwhile, police have completely ringed with police tape a section of North Street in front of the school.
A black car can be seen parked at the corner of North and Whitehaven streets, where a portable oxygen tank is lying in a front yard next to a large sign bearing the image of a baby and the word “Life.”

Everyone agrees: the mainstream media is biased
Amicus: I think you are jumping the gun a bit here. People who are Pro-Choice and people who are Pro-Life are murdered in this country every day. By far MOST of the time murders are NOT reported with regard to this specific political alignment. Certainly there are times when it is apparent that a person is murdered specifically because of their Pro-Choice or Pro-Life views. When that happens, the various news outlets often pick it up. Are you suggesting that you DO KNOW this person was killed because of his Pro-Life views? Have you shared this information with the local authorities? If not, are you just suggesting that news organizations should report on the pro-life pro-choice possible motivations in all murder cases? Or, perhaps this is just a swipe at the media – an unfair – “see I told you they were biased” – when in your own post you admit that all the facts are not in – and the story is still green.
Again, one of those kink things we are still working out. I made the post, not Amicus (sorry).
Anyway, at the time I posted, not one main stream media outlet had posted the article. Fox and numerous other blog had picked up on it. Coincidence? Maybe, but I highly doubt it. Fact are facts, dispute them all you want, but you come up way short. The same goes for the article on Private Long…a 27 to 1 ratio is pretty biased, wouldn’t you say? Again, just the facts.
