Why has the national media failed to cover an abortionist's murder trial?

Abortionist Kermit Gosnell

At Newsbusters, Brent Bozell describes the national media's avoidance of covering the murder trial of infamous abortionist Kermit Gosnell.  While Gosnell has been charged with committing numerous horrific crimes on sympathetic victims, large media outlets have keep the story at arm's length. 
       

One emerging story proves the degree to which our "objective" media's views on abortion are dogmatic and extreme. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial in Philadelphia, and not just for killing babies outside the womb, but also for killing a mother through reckless use of anesthesia. Network TV coverage of the trial? Zero on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, and PBS. CNN's entire coverage seems to be one sentence from Jake Tapper on March 21.

The New York Times wrote one story before the trial began on March 19 (buried on page A-17). The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today couldn't be "national" newspapers and report this trial.

They're not unaware of it. CBS aired one story after the initial clinic raid in 2011. NBC offered 50 words. CBS even passed along that Gosnell's clinic was described as a "house of horrors."  Now it's in court, and the networks can't find any horrors.
