News for Kids
Being a new parent can really change your perspective on things like family, values, priorities—and cable news anchors.
My 8-month-old daughter and I have been watching a lot of coverage of this protracted primary battle, and I've noticed something weird. She really perks up whenever Chris Matthews or Lou Dobbs comes on the air.
And I think I've figured out why: she thinks these moon-faced babblers are babies just like her. She may be right. Consider:
Mercifully, she hasn't started hating immigrants yet, but I'm getting worried that her first words are going to be "border fence".
Bonus observation: Tim Russert looks like a 4-year-old who's eaten Christopher Hitchens.
Or is that the other way around?
