Breaking Media Silence

A great column from the Instapundit himself. 

"The abortion issue, I suspect, is upsetting enough to most everyone that there's a strong tendency to shy away, even when the subjects are, in fact, front-page-worthy. But this case should be a reminder that shying away from big stories isn't what journalism is supposed to be about."

"And it's also reminder that media bias exists not only in how the press covers stories, but in the choice of stories to cover and, in particular, the choice of stories not to cover. Bear that in mind, in the future. And hope that, at a crucial moment, another column from the right person will break the silence."

Exactly. 

(And that's what blogs and Twitter are for...)
