A tale of 3 News-bearers

And one event:

The Washington Post:

For Bush, yesterday's breakfast was an opportunity to thank Catholics, who gave him 52 percent of their votes in November, compared with 47 percent for Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), a Catholic who supports abortion rights. Bush told the crowd, as he does at all religious events, that he was grateful for their prayers, and he reiterated his support for "a culture of life" that rejects abortion and euthanasia.

The Washington Times:

The Second National Catholic Prayer Breakfast yesterday rallied local faithful with moving speeches from President Bush and Colorado Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, both of whom praised Pope Benedict XVI and politicians who adhere to Catholic doctrine.
'Catholics and non-Catholics alike can take heart in the man who sits on the chair of St. Peter because he speaks with affection about the American model of liberty rooted in moral conviction,' Mr. Bush said to 1,600 guests at the Washington Hilton.

Catholic News Service:

"Freedom rests on the self-evident truths about human dignity," Bush said. "Pope Benedict XVI recently warned that when we forget these truths, we risk sliding into a dictatorship of relativism where we can no longer defend our values. Catholics and non-Catholics alike can take heart in the man who sits on the chair of St. Peter, because he speaks with affection about the American model of liberty rooted in moral conviction."

He said Catholics "have made sacrifices throughout American history because they understand that freedom is a divine gift that carries with it serious responsibilities. Among the greatest of these responsibilities is protecting the most vulnerable members of our society."

Three reports, three media institutions, three slants, one story. Notice anything? Oh, yeah. The Washington Post, elite MSM that it is, puts the scare quotes on "Culture of life" so that we all understand it means a rejection of abortion and euthanasia. Because, you know, that is the be-all and end-all of freedom. Every Reasonable person knows that.

That's why it's so much better to be a Fool. At least we can call murder murder, not pretend it's the penultimate of our human rights. What's next: the prevention of all new life as a means to end all suffering. Sure. Why not? None of us can suffer if we're all dead.
