The New York Times recently ran and
editorial commending an animal-rights group, which recorded undercover video of
animal mistreatment in a food processing plant. Here is the concluding
paragraph of the editorial: “In a country that lavishes love and legal
protections on house pets, factory-farmed animals are left out in the cold,
exempt from almost all animal-cruelty laws. As a result they suffer torture and
other mistreatment to a degree that is hard to imagine. The only way to make it
stop is to ensure that Americans can see for themselves what goes on behind the
factory doors.”
A couple weeks earlier, however, the
New York Times denounced as “dishonest” and “deceptive” the undercover videos
that show Planned Parenthood officials cavalierly discussing how they routinely
alter abortion procedures to maximize the number of intact baby body parts to
be sold.
Wait, What?! Undercover videos are
good…if they embarrass people the Times doesn’t like. But undercover videos are
bad…if they embarrass the Times’ political allies? Hmm, can anyone say
“hypocritical”?
I’m sure we’ll soon be seeing a Times editorial that concludes with this paragraph: “In a country that lavishes love
and legal protections on wanted babies, aborted babies are left out in the
cold, exempt from almost all human-cruelty laws. As a result they suffer
torture and other mistreatment to a degree that is hard to imagine. The only
way to make it stop is to ensure that Americans can see for themselves what
goes on behind Planned Parenthood’s doors.”
Yes, that editorial should be
appearing in the Times any day now.
