MSNBC Cheers Planned Parenthood ‘On the Offensive’, ‘Targeting’ GOP Senators

More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.

On Tuesday’s MSNBC Live with Thomas Roberts, fill-in anchor Frances Rivera eagerly promoted Planned Parenthood attacking Republicans: “Planned Parenthood is going on the offensive, releasing ads in four states targeting these senators, urging supporters to tell them not to shut down the government to defund Planned Parenthood.”

A long clip of one of the ads followed, blasting New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte for being pro-life: “First, Kelly Ayotte voted to defund Planned Parenthood, risking health care for millions of women. Now, Republicans want to shut down the government to block funding for Planned Parenthood. What would a shutdown mean for New Hampshire?”
