Media Repeatedly Ignores [sic] Violent Attacks Against Pro-Lifers

http://www.lifenews.com/2012/08/14/media-repeatedly-ignores-violent-attacks-against-pro-lifers/

[No, “sic” is not a typo for “sick” (though it could have contextually fit there as such).  “Sic” is Latin for “thus,” but used often in quoted statements and phrases to mean (from the original Latin) “sic erat scriptum,” which translates literally as “thus it was written.”  The abbreviated Latin phrase conveys that the quote, as it appears in a citation, is accurate with respect to how the same quote appeared in the original document (or speech).  The purpose for using “sic” is usually to follow textual (or grammatical) errors that were made by the source of the quote rather than by the reporter of the quote.  In this case, “sic” followed the verb “Ignores” because that conjugation implies that the noun “Media” is singular, which it is not.  The noun “media” (also Latin, btw) is a plural noun (and one of the most frequently misused nouns by people who use it as a singular noun), requiring the verb “Ignores” to be conjugated for plurality as “Ignore”.]

[Aren’t you glad you just read that whole paragraph?]

Adult Stem Cells Work Better, MSM Only Likes Embryonic Kind. Hmm.

The mainstream media [are], by and large, sympathetic to Planned Parenthood and circles [sic] around it whenever it runs into problems.  The media says [sic] very little about the various scandals surrounding Planned Parenthood all over the country.  So in making a decision that Planned Parenthood would not like, Komen found itself at war with one of the most media savvy and politically sophisticated organizations in the country… [and Planned Parenthood’s] threats to take future disputes with Komen to the media are beyond credible.

[ASND simply asks, “Where was that story reported in the mainstream media, again?”]

[And does anyone wonder how often it would have been publicized if the death threats had been sent by a pro-lifer?]
