Yahoo! has the headline above displayed under their "In the News" box on their homepage. My first thought is that the headline exuded bias. Read the article and you'll get the same reaction. The mainstream media has no shame. Yes, Kopp should be punished for his crime, but the impression their giving is that all "anti-abortion" activists are "that way."

I don't think the title reflects bias at all, nor do I think it implies that all anti-abortion activists would do such a thing. This murderer's anti-abortion beliefs drove his actions and bear directly on to his killing of this doctor. Thus, it's germane enough to be put in the headline.

I find no bias in the title. The man is an anti-abortion activist who admitted to killing an abortion doctor. Where's the beef?

[BfloGuy]

He was an anti-abortion activist. I look for media bias (and find it) every day. This just isn't.

He stood in the woods behind the house and shot through the kitchen window when he saw Slepian in the room. Slepian's family was with him.

Nothing to do but disavow stridently this nutcase's actions.

Kopp is one sick puppy.

The chief bias I see here is the phrase "anti-abortion activist." That's the left's version of what conservatives prefer to call the pro-life movement.

But considering that Kopp has now admitted killing Dr. Slepian, maybe we are better off with the newspapers calling him anti-abort. It's a contradiction in terms that a pro-lifer would murder somebody, and murder is something the pro-life movement should not wish to be linked with.

I was fooled on this, I confess. I read some convincing arguments that Kopp was framed. Evidently not. I don't feel very apologetic about being fooled, however, since the pro-abort media and the Reno Justice department frequently did frame and variously abuse pro-lifers. There are numerous instances. This case seems to be the exception. It's the only one I know of where a pro-lifer who was not insane actually shot an abortionist. Regretably it will NOT help his cause, as Kopp naively seems to think.

Abortionists aren't doctors, they're baby-murderers...

I'm a journalist AND pro-life, and I don't see a thing wrong with this story.
