The price-of-milk story on CNN today is astonishingly incomplete and sloppy. It reminds me of when the Dr. Seuss controversy got ramped up, and despite little evidence for the claim and a lot of missing context, some reporters just ran with it. Disappointing, to say the least.
1. They failed to verify the price of milk claimed by this family, which is false.
2. They failed to disclose that several of the eight kids are grown adults over 21.
3. Or that the parents are Republicans.
4. Or a rational comparison of grocery prices.
I mean...

I'm not even opposed to featuring this family in a segment for a different perspective, but all relevant context that would undermine their claims have either been bizarrely overlooked or--and I hope this isn't the case--completely ignored.
Ah, ridiculous typo on my part. Thank you.
