Kickstarter CEO denies rejecting Gosnell movie makers

Director Phelim McAleer wants to make a film about the Kermit Gosnell trial, and he has turned to crowdsourcing to make it happen. As Twitchy reported, McAleer and his team turned to IndieGoGo as a fundraising platform after Kickstarter raised objections.

“They asked us to remove the descriptions of a serial killer committing his crimes,” McAleer says. Those crimes include snipping babies’ spinal cords with scissors after they were delivered and keeping feet and other body parts in jars and freezers.

Yancey Strickler, CEO and cofounder of Kickstarter, says that story isn’t true, and he has the email to prove it.

Not so fast, though. There were some conditions to that approval, it seems.

So what’s the real story? McAleer said he was warned by Kickstarter that his project could be pulled at any time in line with Kickstarter’s community guidelines.

That tweet is Strickler’s last comment on the issue so far, although earlier in the week he denied any charges of censorship.

In the meantime, fundraising continues at GosnellMovie.com.

Gosnell ‘WHO?’ Reaction to Okla. execution exposes media double standard

Bingo.

The “inmate” was one Clayton Lockett, a convicted rapist and murderer who shot a 19-year-old girl then buried her alive. Horrified reporters live-tweeted Lockett’s botched execution yesterday. Many are pointing out how the media reaction to the execution is far different than it was to the Kermit Gosnell horror story. Gosnell’s butchering of babies was infamously dismissed as a “local crime” story by the Washington Post’s Sarah Kliff.

But news reporting in service of the left-wing narrative doesn’t get a pass anymore.
