LA Times Absurdity
Wife of Nominee Holds Strong Antiabortion Views - LA Times
A spouse's views normally are not considered relevant in weighing someone's job suitability. But abortion is likely to figure prominently in the Senate debate over John Roberts' nomination. And with his position on the issue unclear, abortion rights supporters expressed concern Wednesday that his wife's views might suggest he also embraced efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade.As left-wing a rag as it is, I couldn't believe it when I saw this story on the front page of the LA Times. DailyKOS mainpage material for sure, but LA Times? Absurd.

Seconded. Her views should not be an issue, much less on the front page of the LA Times. The article is a huge stretch. We argue in Independent Sources (http://independentsources.com/2005/07/21/wife-of-nominee-holds-strong-antiabortion-views-la-times/) that the paper is wrong to make Jane Sullivan Roberts' views an issue -- and the Feminists For Life group the paper paints as anti-abortion extremists does not fit that characterization at all. Bad, biased journalism.

I was also not surprised by this story in the L.A. Times front page. The L.A. Times is a left-wing rag. They hate anybody who is to the right of Mao Tse Tung and they will use anything they can grab to smear any conservative anyway they can. This is simply dispiccable hate mongering journalism.
