With regards to magazines covers and nipple rape.  

"It's hard to avoid offending the willing-to-be-offended."

This is a memorable quote from Diane Wiessinger, which I copied from 
Lactnet  many years ago.

My personal take on the Baby Talk article in two major American media 
outlets (I saw it first on CNN on-line) is "....Yes!"  Breastfeeding in 
public is entering the public discourse!  And since the vast majority of 
Americans are NOT offended by public nursing, this is going to help the 
majority solidify their approval.  This will make it harder for 
institutions to try to prevent something that most approve. 

I agree, the negative reactions are disheartening, but this is also a 
boost to the majority opinion- because people read those negative things 
and think "Good grief- get a life!"

20 people died from heat related causes.
