Wesley Smith on Media Bias and Cloning

Wes Smith, noted author and commentator on matters pertaining to human life, writes about the media's role in letting the biotech advocates disseminate uscientific propaganda for cloning and killing embryos. He says, "To overcome their political problem, biotech industry lobbyists and their allies mounted a propaganda campaign intended to turn accepted biology on its head by denying that human SCNT culminates in the creation of a new human embryo. What followed is a case study in media bias."
"In the great cloning debate, the mainstream media follows Big Biotech's lead as faithfully as Ginger Rodgers did while dancing with Fred Astaire. Without missing a beat, the media obediently began to omit mention of the embryo in its descriptions of therapeutic cloning."
