Tapper: Gosnell Story 'Not Getting Enough Attention'

Last night on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” we learned that out of the five major networks (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS), there was only a single mention of the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor currently on trial for the murder of seven babies and one adult woman in Phildaelphia.

That mention came from Jake Tapper on his CNN new program “The Lead.”

Tapper hit the story again today during a segment he calls the “buried lead,” or “a story that we think is not getting enough attention.”

Tapper went on to devote over four minutes to the grisly story with the help of the Philadelphia Enquirer’s Joseph Slobodzian, who has been covering the trial every day. After the segment was over, Tapper promised to have him on again soon.

You can watch the full segment below.
