The national media blackout is so complete with respect to the murder trial of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell that when Luke Russert of NBC News tweeted news of the trial out on Thursday, he probably had no choice but to link to a news story outside of the massive NBC News universe:

I guess this gives NBC News cover to say, “What do you mean, our own Luke Russert covered the story Thursday!”
