The Women's March and the March for Life

The women’s march organizers blew it, and even the media realize it.

A short and seemingly insignificant segment on CNN this morning illustrates just how badly the organizers of the so-called Women’s March on Washington blew their chance to turn their event into a national, bipartisan movement against Trump.

In the segment, CNN reporter Brianna Keilar reported live from the scene of Friday’ March for Life — itself a noteworthy event given the normal media blackout that surrounds the March for Life — and explicitly compared the pro-life event to the Women’s March

President Trump forced the media to cover the March for Life by scorching David Muir in his widely watched interview for the usual lack of coverage of the march.

“This is what the pro-lifers around me say, David — say it isn’t so?”

Of course, Muir could not, and the exchange was so widely covered that the media cannot help but at least notice the marchers this year. Trump has made media dishonesty such a central focus of his early presidency that when he scores a genuine point against them, they dare not prove him right. And so Brianna Keilar was sent out into the cold in Washington, D.C., to acknowledge that, yes, hundreds of thousands of people will be peacefully marching in protest against abortion this year, as they do every year, ending at the steps of the Supreme Court, where they will pray and hold vigil for the millions of unborn who have died and who will continue to die at the altar of legalized abortion.
