Received this from a friend:
I don’t necessarily think that they do some of it on purpose at CNN, they just haven’t really studied the realities of the system in depth and like most of the media are afraid to tackle an issue that may make Women look bad and Men look battered. You must watch this Video.

I suggest that everyone flood CNN regarding the inequities in the law and suggest that Family Law Reform would be the RIGHT/TOUGH questions to be asking our political candidates, not the same old drivel on Abortion/Womens Rights/Gay Marriage/Etc.
Family Law Reform is truly the most important issue for our future. One has to look no further than the daily news to see the results of our current state of Family Law.

Good Works of THEE Worthy?
——————————————–
The PC piece of ridiculously maligned “motherly” narration perhaps merely reveals multiples facets of a deplorable reality of “our” NOW, commonly understood, everyday media-hype.
Welcome to your Federally Funded, newly enlightened AND liberated Orwellian Twilight Zone.
What are they suggesting?
Extortion invigorates?
Kidnapping pays?
Plunder fulfills?
Discrimination arouses?
Hate rewards?
Greed enlivens?
Fraud facilitates?
Hate placates?
Entitlements dominate?
Irrationals rationalize?
Liars are prophets?
Black is white?
Lawless are virtuous?
Pillaging amazes (playing with the quote of the champion gold-nugget, cheek clench’r)?
The staged child (if in fact, real and not of sickening ploy for mere utilization by addicts for more (BTW, what of privacy concerns to the child)) in my opinion has utterly been used.
Might this be further representative of the depths that “self-licensed” racketeers endeavor to market tempts to further cover their now well known unlawful neglects otherwise owing to guardianship of Liberty and the respects owing the dignity of all of humanity — the least of which being this young child of outright “use” and “abuse” by “false” Prophets.
The People have already opined of well known harms of extortion tactics (see Congressional findings relative to “our” former and perhaps more mature time-frame relative the lawmaking sessions undertaken in passage of the “Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.” at http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm#802)
So why might these previously well known “harms” of formerly recognized morals NOW suddenly have vanished?
Quite possibly, the need for denial and thus the irrational rationalizations for the irrational Racketeering to easy money; and also, perhaps of greater concern, a reality of human proneness to discrimination and hate.
Regarding “Doubled receipts?” This is a no brainer. Crime pays! Even be it Federally Sponsored and funded or as facilitated via (Unconstitutional mind you) Sham Rule Making.
Ms. Margot Bean, Esq., shame, shame and SHAME!
Your oath and obligations should encompass more than blatant defiance of traditional tenants of our heritage as bequest to us and entrusted to our care by our founders.
We need to strive in fervent and diligent purposes for continually voicing the education of needs to look beyond mere Emotional Shelters and Covers of the Addicts; truth may likely reside beneath Clever Cloaking of the White Elephant.
Contractors by Contractors for the Contractors; entrusted by We the People of the People. Hmm . . .
So if I may,
Lawlessness is not virtuous.
Black is not White.
Prophets are not liars.
. . . etc. relative to above list . . .
Invigoration does not require Extortion.
Nor should such ever be condoned, suggested or even hinted; let alone, under any notions of “Health and Welfare” or auspices of “best interests of children.”
The gift of Love may indeed be the Greatest of Treasures,
of which there may be no measure.
MORE IMPORTANTLY,
May the Guiding and Merciful Hand
of our Almighty lend Compassion, Comfort and
Refreshment to all who travail or be heavy laden.
With sincerity of expression and good will,

In my opinion, a reality may eventually emerge as to how this piece may in all actuality ultimately effect
“mak[ing] Women look bad,”
in addition to being
“used” (or duped, with quotation marks to Women in the above)
while at the same-time
“self-serving.”

This is unquestionably “cheesy propaganda”. It’s a good example of how propagandists will take an isolated case and paint a distorted picture. We know nothing about the circumstances involved in this custody arrangement, other than the fact that the mother has full custody. This father is a victim of our biased courts, and CNN is glorifying further violation of his rights, in order to obtain unwarranted “child support”.
What I find markedly more disturbing than the story itself, is the fact that the person submitting this story for our comments, is trying to defend the media. CNN knows exactly what they are doing. There is “no effort” to be fair in their presentation. They are trying to pass patently biased propaganda as fair and balanced news.
Joseph Goebbels would be proud of our news media.
