OctoMom Defies Media Traditions

One thing is for sure, the media love pets and kids. They also love a heartwarming and heartbreaking story. Nadya Suleman, or OctoMom, fits that category perfectly. She has lots of kids and is very needy.

But surprisingly, the media have taken a hard line position on the story. Who is going to pay the bills has been a huge story, and there haven't been many, if any, cuddly stories on the babies.

Kudos to the LA Times for actually cutting loose some investigative reporters and doing their job.
