Press has no shame


http://www.cbsnews.com/news/911-call-mom-slept-as-toddler-got-stuck-in-hot-car-died/

The press has no shame. Headline on cbsnews.com is "Mom slept as toddler got stuck in hot car, died", as if the mother had done something bad. The baby "had climbed into the vehicle while his mother slept." "He had figured out how he could unlock the doors," So parents are supposed to never sleep? If she had locked the baby in a cage to keep it in the house while she slept, they would be slamming her for that. I'm all for protecting children from abuse & neglect, but things happen that are nobody's fault.

This is the kind of thing I would expect from a tabloid like the National Enquirer. On second thought, it has become normal for the so-called legitimate press.
