The Obama camp has now acknowledging that Barack Obama lied about his abortion voting record on the born-alive bill. The NY Sun reported that Obama’s campaign has admitted that the senator voted against giving medical care to babies born alive after an abortion attempt, a fact that the campaign originally dismissed as a “smear.” The reality behind the Obama rhetoric is that he “worked against efforts” to ban the gruesome practice of leaving babies who survived failed abortions to die.

January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
During Tuesday night’s coverage of the Massachusetts special election, CNN and MSNBC aired only a fraction of the Republican candidate’s speech. Fox News Channel aired both candidates’ speeches in their entirety. When Martha Coakley (D) took the podium to concede the election, all three channels aired most or all of the eight-minute speech. However, Republican Scott Brown’s address was cut short on CNN after just seven minutes. On MSNBC Keith Olbermann cut Brown’s mic and instead attacked the Republican candidate, talked about “teabaggers”, and ran commercials. CNN only ran 26% of Brown’s speech, while MSNBC aired 37%. Fox News Channel carried 100% of both speeches:
