So often when the media covers pro-life issues, if it does at all, it does so in a negative light.  It did that again at the recent March for Life in Washington DC, where over 100,000 (and 50,000 in Paris) stood for life from conception. How spectacularly their agenda backfired.

At least 100,000 people marched in Washington, and perhaps over 200,000 marched across the country.

In case you missed the biggest story of the week, the media pushed the line that Catholic school students had harassed and mocked a Native American Indian at the annual pro-life protest.  That is, until its cozy narrative was destroyed.  As LifeSiteNews reported:

The original video showed the man, “indigenous peoples” activist Nathan Phillips, beating a drum and singing while students in Trump’s iconic red “Make America Great Again” hats laughed and hollered around him, with one student in particular grinning inches from the man’s face. But additional video and firsthand accounts soon revealed Phillips was the one who waded into the group waiting for its bus and decided to beat a drum inches from Nick Sandmann’s face, and other adults who accompanied Phillips shouted taunts like “white people, go back to Europe” at the kids.

Breitbart News highlighted how distorted the media’s coverage was of the pro-life event:

the major networks devoted 19 minutes to coverage of false accusations of racism against the Covington Catholic teens attending the March for Life, in contrast with only 58 seconds spent on the actual annual pro-life event.

Is it any wonder then that the media is losing credibility with the public?

One lawyer one was so incensed by the smearing of the students that he offered his services for free to sue a journalist for defamation.

He wasn’t the only one outraged.  President Donald Trump put out a tweet condemning the media for the disgraceful attack on the students:

Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good - maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!

But he didn’t stop there. The President has also invited the school students to the White House.

The hate that was whipped up by the media was so great that the school will remain closed until police say it is safe for students to return to class.

It’s a reminder that the world is as hostile an environment as ever for Christians.
