Wade<\/em> and the taking of innocent human life in the womb \u2014 including whether they would help employees pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNEW: [Shannon Liao] and I reached out to over 20 major video game companies about whether they intend to speak up in favor of reproductive rights or provide monetary aid to employees. just a few said yes. most said nothing at all,\u201d Liao\u2019s co-writer Nathan Grayson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Vahn16\/status\/1524484132910346243\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-12-at-3.31.42-PM-829x1024-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272437\" width=\"682\" height=\"842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-12-at-3.31.42-PM-829x1024-1.png 829w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-12-at-3.31.42-PM-243x300-1.png 243w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-12-at-3.31.42-PM-768x948-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-12-at-3.31.42-PM.png 1194w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The duo seemed disturbed that game companies weren\u2019t more outraged and outspoken at the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion indicating the landmark abortion case will likely soon be struck down, writing, \u201cmost of the video game industry\u2019s biggest companies have remained conspicuously quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConspicuously quiet\u201d on abortion is an interesting way for journalists to characterize video game companies, which have absolutely nothing to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/05\/sex-is-never-trivial-its-a-life-and-death-act\/\">sex<\/a>, pregnancy, or in utero homicide. But it\u2019s an especially interesting characterization coming from Liao at The Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because just a little more than seven months ago, Liao <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video-games\/2021\/09\/07\/tripwire-ceo-abortion-law-twitter\/\">wrote<\/a> about the CEO of Tripwire, a video game company, who stepped down after he \u201ccame under fire\u201d for his support of an \u201cantiabortion\u201d law in Texas, as Liao characterized it. Cutting through the WaPo propaganda, the real story is that the former CEO got squeezed out for daring to defend life in the womb and the laws that attempt to protect it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quote Liao included in that story, from one of Tripwire\u2019s partner studios: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWhile your politics are your own, the moment you make them a matter of public discourse you entangle all of those working for you and with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, when companies devote their attention to their own affairs rather than murderous left-wing causes disguised as \u201creproductive health care,\u201d they\u2019re \u201cconspicuously quiet.\u201d But when those same companies or their leaders break from the corporate hive mind to instead pump the brakes on abortion radicalism, they\u2019re \u201centangling\u201d their workers in their own personal politics.<\/p>\n<p>So says the left and their media footsoldiers at The Washington Post, who serve absolutely no journalistic function. As The Federalist\u2019s Mollie Hemingway <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mzhemingway\/status\/1524788480014000129?s=12&#038;t=NjZnSvcBPPdLhDhT6YkWgA\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter, \u201cCorporate media are the enemies of the people, born and unborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDouble standard\u201d doesn\u2019t even begin to encapsulate the depths of the unethical behavior these so-called reporters in legacy media employ. They have fully embraced their roles as abortion activists and propagandists, and they spend their days bullying companies into helping them achieve said activism and propaganda. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, game workers just want some semblance of stability with Roe v. Wade\u2019s potential repeal threatening to rock their foundation,\u201d Liao and Grayson wrote. \u201cA commitment to reproductive health care from their employers, in their eyes, would at least be something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You know what else would really be something? A commitment to real journalism from our corrupt corporate media. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Kylee Zempel is an assistant editor at The Federalist.
