Media Example #16

First and foremost, I do still have a few questions about the story itself.  Like, why wouldn't the mom want her child in a school picture? And was this a problem because of the color of the smiley face or that the school still put the kid in the picture? 


On another note, I totally agree with Daniel, this is definitely not television news worthy. However, I could see this featured on the Jimmy Kimball show. Clearly, this news channel was  struggling to find newsworthy drama.  Just looking at the anchor, it's obvious to me that they know how ridiculous the story is.  It reminds me of the part on anchorman when Ron Burgundy is doing a story on the water skiing squirrel.
