What an awful headline

‘Let the baby go,’ Jennifer Hudson’s sister says of missing son

What, she doesn’t have a name of her own? And who would file this story under “Arts & Entertainment?”

If the story isn’t noteworthy in and of itself (and it isn’t – it’s tragic, but not noteworthy) then don’t run it. If you find yourself miscategorizing it (it’s not about arts and entertainment) then don’t run it.

If you’re going to advertise the grief of a hysterical mother, at least grant her the dignity of calling her by name. Julia Hudson deserves at least that much.

CBC – Be ashamed.
