"His death is also the second such fatal incident in less than a week. Last Thursday, a 3-month-old baby died after he was left in a hot car for several hours in Pennsylvania."
GRA:Oh,oh--the media is seeing a trend--"TWO IN LESS THAN A WEEK"?6 monkeypox cases--spread around the country?Three zeppelin crashes in 90 years?Lawdy,lawdy,what is we gonna do?
One of the greatest lines in pop music was written by the Beatles,in describing the media's reporting of the most mundane facts,in "A Day in the Life".
"I read the news today,oh boy.
Four thousand holes in Blackburn,Lancashire.
And though the holes were rather small.
They had to count them all.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall."
"They had to count to count them all"--and then,if that isn't enough,to incorporate and twist the minutiae into another story--of their own device.
Except for black crime,of course.But two kid's deaths in a hot car is brought to our attention.
To connect one isolated incident in one state with a similar one in another,has always been one of the things about media that irritated the hell out of me.

It was no mistake. The parents or care givers or whoever just didn't care.
