To: Recovering Ex-hippie

I’m surprised how quiet everyone has been about this. Nothing on Drudge, didn’t see anything on Fox last night or this morning (albeit I was only half watching on and off), when I found the news article last night, this story was already 2 hours old and no one posted it here yet and there were only 2 source options on Google news.

Maybe for once, the media wanted to respect a private issue until they learned more.

THAT would shock me about the media being “respectful”...
I think they want no good news stories to focus on the fact that these parents did not have an abortion and love this child who is not “perfect” and the Santorums strong pro-life stand.

The recent pro-life demonstrationin DC was so overhwelming there are many people who would be so positively moved by this story and the media doesn’t want that.

I just watched David Axelrod on MTP wishing the best for Santorum, knowing how hard it is to have a child sick (or something like that) so I had to come here to see what happened.

Maybe they are afraid of giving him sympathy votes.
