I don't honestly think it is a sick vendetta against breastfeeding. The
media looks for controversial, surprising, attention-getting headlines and
story topics. Now that breastfeeding is generally known to be the best thing
for babies, anything positive about breastfeeding is seen as "old hat"
"everyone knows that" and not newsworthy. But something bad happening to a
breastfeeding baby, or a study that shows breastfeeding is not good - now
that's news! That's something unusual and controversial, so it's likely to
be published. Their job is to sell papers and catch people's attention.
