CNN's Chetry Lets Abortionist Smear Pro-Life Demonstrators
NewsBusters.org ^ | 6/1/2009 | Matthew Balan

CNN anchor Kiran Chetry let an “abortion provider” from Alabama, whose center was bombed by captured fugitive Eric Rudolph, denigrate all pro-life activists who have ever protested in front of such centers as potential murderers during a segment on Monday’s “American Morning.” When the “provider,” Diane Derzis, attacked “the people...who stand in front of these clinics every day....and the only way they see to take care of this is to kill us,” Chetry merely replied, “You don’t believe those words? You don’t differentiate between people who are opposed to abortion and pro-life for their religious reasons, versus those who are promoting violence?” (audio clips from the segment available here)

Chetry’s second question to Derzis during the interview was also rather sympathetic: “What is it like going to work knowing you have a target on your head?” This question, highlighted by Laura Ingraham on Monday, led the talk show host to call for the firing of the CNN anchor.

The anchor began her interview of the abortion clinic owner by asking for her reaction to the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller, who was gunned down in his church in Wichita, Kansas on Sunday. Once she offered her initial reply, Chetry followed-up by explaining Derzis’s connection to past violence against such clinics and asking her “target” question: “Your clinic was the one that was bombed, actually, as well, right, in Birmingham, Alabama, by Eric Rudolph, the suspect who’s now serving time because of that. What is it like going to work knowing you have a target on your head?”

Video available as well at link above. This was a totally politically-motivated interview on the part of the producers at CNN.

This is why I call CNN the Communist News Network.

Pro-life folks may well be “potential” murderers ... but every single stinking abortionist in the world is an “actual” murderer.

“What is it like going to work knowing you have a target on your head?”

Certainly no worse than being 90% out of the birth canal and having a pair of scissors rammed into the back of your head.

When will some technie upload a virus onto CNN’s satellite link? Knocking them out for a few days might be a service to the public.

Ah Kiran, are you referring to the unborn babies.

“Provider” is also a current euphemism for a prostitute.

“erotic services provider”....

I believe that’s what craig’s list was calling them - from the news story on the guy that was killing said providers...

I have not seen anything of Kiran Chetry on TV since she left Fox (where she was my favorite newsbabe). However, her question quoted above seems to me, in this era of Obama/Pravda to be close to hard-hitting journalism. I do not think the question should have been described as "merely". You certainly would not hear that question from Rachel Maddow or Diane Sawyer.

Well, abortionists are essentially “sex workers” too, aren’t they?

Kiran used to be my fave, but these “reporters” have all demonstrated their politics are interchangeable as they shuttle between CNN and FOX.

And all the people who condone and protect what happens in those abortion clinics are just as guilty.
