William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

A long-held myth was destroyed today by the Los Angeles Times: Teenagers have babies. You know. Like Jamie Lynn Spears, and Keisha Castle-Hughes.

It is a cutting expose where L.A. Times Media Critic Robert Lloyd takes a bunch of things that are known or mostly known, lines them up, then with no answers, questions, or even any sort of opinion made, Lloyd ends it on a quote from Spears.

It is a “Hey, I need 500 words on that Spears Kid for Tuesday!” type of story.

Here’s a relevant section from the article:

“Jamie Lynn Spears is not the first teen to have a baby”

(I am on the verge of apologizing for bringing it up again.)

Yes, an apology would be nice.
