Does the media report fairly on pro-life events?
Voting for this poll is closed
Last week the Rally for Life brought more than 7,000 people together in a united call to keep Ireland abortion-free. Many of Ireland's media outlets ignored or downplayed the Rally. In fact, it was reported on Newstalks late debate programme (6 July 2011) that several well known journalists tweeted that the rally participants "should not be allowed to march", were "anti-life" and other derogatory comments. When you consider that most of those on the rally where young families, women and children, it shows a total disregard for pro-lifers civil and human rights to protest. Is this typical of the media?
