Here's a great example of how one-sided and blind the news is. Apparently yesterday a spectator at Wrigley Field watching a game between the L.A Dodger and Chicago Cubs caught a pop-up ball in one hand while he was feeding a baby in the other. News reports praised this remarkable catch without ever mentioning that this idiot should not be taking a baby to a ball game. Nor do they point out that the infant could just as easily been killed by the same errant ball. Imagine if the child had been hurt, we would have nothing on this news this week but reports on the dangers if major league sports to children and of course updates on this bozo's arrest and upcoming trial.
I wonder the same about the mom who took her six-year-old to the midnight showing of the Batman movie in Aurora, Colorado. The child was killed by the mass murderer James Holmes. Of course it goes without saying that Holmes is a prick and we should have stronger gun laws. But why was a six-year-old child at a movie theater in the middle of the night?
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. So many people who have children refuse to accept the limitations that go with them. The mother in Aurora paid the highest price. The man at the ball game gets kudos when he could just as easily gotten arrested.
