If their goals is to influence other's opinion on abortion so it agrees with their own, they are going about it the wrong way.
I think that there's an overall lack of integrity in media, and it's not just one "side".
Both sides of TV, radio, and print tend to pander to the extreme of both sides, because the extremes of both sides are the ones who pay attention on a regular basis. They watch political shows, listen to talk radio, and buy newspapers or click links online.
It makes sense to do this from a fiscal standpoint, but doesn't change my opinion about their honesty or integrity.
