USA Today Criticized for Telling Pro-Life Advocate What to Write in Editorial

New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- USA Today, the national newspaper with a pro-abortion editorial perspective, is coming under criticism from a pro-life advocate for telling her what to write in an editorial column. USA Today editorial writer Louise Branson had asked pro-life nurse Jill Stanek to craft a column on the infamous octuplets story. Last week, Branson emailed Stanek a request to "write a short piece for us about the regulation of fertility clinics in the aftermath of the octuplets scandal, and praising the proposed Georgia legislation as the standard that should be set nationwide." Stanek was happy to do so in order to provide a pro-life rebuttal to an official editorial USA Today would craft. However, the pro-life advocate never expected to be treated like a scaramouch in the process. Ref. Source 1

This is why people have to subscribe to more than one newspaper to learn the real truth. The many newspapers out there want to sale papers to their audience and they will do what they can to make the story make their people feel good. I think this is why many newspapers are going out of business. Many people are learning you can get a better story from the internet.

I don't know how I feel about this move, I suppose it has its benefits but I would like to know how the merge will affect the average consumer.
