Lisa Rein of The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that a Maryland woman was elected the president of NOW on Saturday at their convention in Indianapolis –but nowhere in the piece was anyone described as a “liberal.” Rein began:

The new president of the National Organization for Women, an activist from Montgomery County, said yesterday that the country’s largest women’s group needs to return to the basics of the movement.

Terry O’Neill succeeds Kim Gandy, who’s led NOW for eight years. Rein listed NOW’s agenda without identifying it as liberal:

While both candidates pledged to continue NOW’s fight for economic security for women, a single-payer health care system, same-sex marriage and reproductive rights, O’Neill campaigned to reenergize what she called an outsider strategy of “tapping into energy and outrage” felt by grass-roots feminists across the country over “the ground we lost” during the Bush administration.

AP also went label-free in its NOW story. Rein left out some strong language that the Indianapolis Star captured:

O’Neill said, “Conscience clauses, where pharmacists refuse birth control sales because it’s against their conscience, must go. Guess what? Women have a constitutional right to birth control,” adding, “There is no constitutional right to be a pharmacist.”
