Malkin(s) Hocking Inaccuracy on Abortion Exposé
Michelle (and, I believe, Jesse) Malkin propelled a video of an undercover report on Planned Parenthood of Indiana. The PP staff member is apparently shown covering up for a reported statutory rape. If true, she should be held accountable to her employer and the state.
That said, the Malkins tend to treat sources from the “other” side as dubious. Her treatment of the Murtha-Haditha Massacre and Jamil Hussein scandals are the most notable case. The former she got almost right, the latter totally wrong.
Here the perspective is switched. The video running on MM.com has obvious signs of heavy editing and poor camera work. (I’m sure the investigators would be willing to hand over the original tapes if the state needs that evidence.)
I know Bloomington, Indiana pretty well, and I have been in that Planned Parenthood building. It is not an “abortion clinic” as claimed in Live Action Films’s press release (reprinted at the Malkin link above). As far as I can recall, there are no doctors in Bloomington who perform abortions. The building does not have the facilities required to perform surgical procedures. If Michelle and Jesse held this exposé to the same standards they hold the Associated Press and CNN, they would be posting the phone numbers and home addresses of the anti-abortion students behind the video, because, honestly, they need to “grow up and take responsibility.“
