IIRC, the media painted Wendy Davis' filibuster as a fight for women's rights. Lost in their hero worship was the fact she was filibustering for late term abortions. They didn't mention that much, if at all. Only that she was fighting for women's rights.

Of course it was, David. It simply shows that most Americans are both woefully and willfully ignorant of facts. The media and most politicians bank on that fact.
Now, aside of facts, many will be labeled "sexist" for pointing out Wendy's lies.
