Oh Media

Everyday people turn on their TVs, open a newspaper, or surf the Internet for information. There are people out there who thrive on digging up dirt on celebrities and feeding it to the the news for others to read. Sometimes the media goes nuts and reports things wrong like Angelina having her twins 2 months early.

Some news sources are recanting their stories and others are standing behind them, but the problem in my mind is that they are not telling the whole truth. If the babies were born, they would be 2+ months premature, but no one is mentioning this. No one is mentioning the struggles that families have to face with premature babies.

The media needs to get their facts straight and then report. Families of premature kids know what is it like to go through prematurity. The media needs to be more sensitive to the fact that having premature babies is hard. Any birth is something to celebrate, but families want their privacy and the media thrives on dirt.

Shame on the media for not getting their story straight!


Hope you are having a great Tuesday!!!

Russ & I are both taking Synoptic Gospels during Summer I & then both taking John during Summer II. The homework for this Summer I class is, yeah, alot! He said he was taking it easy on us. I can't imagine what it would be like if he wasn't taking it easy. LOL!

I don't envy famous people. I can't believe how little privacy they have. All the money would be nice but in the end it really wouldn't be worth it.
