Hold the Presses: NYT Publishes Fair Story on Pro Life Street Protesters

Credit where credit is due: The NYT presented a fair story —complete with personal profiles—of the most provocative segment of the pro life movement; the in-your-face street protesters. Even their overt Christian motivations were treated respectfully.

This is a remarkable media moment, that hopefully marks a sea change in reporting on “culture war” stories.  Kudos to the New York Times.
