RE: [ozmidwifery] 60 minutes

[Tania Smallwood]

Janet,   Wanted to add my support and thanks for taking on the formidable 60 minutes ‘journalists’, (and I use that term loosely.)  You came across as highly articulate and obviously loving and caring towards your children, without fitting into the mould that they obviously wanted you to, hence the mountains of vision of the family from overseas.    It was interesting how they predictably brought up everything they could think of that would marginalize AP, including vision of a real life birth!  As I watched it I was thinking…cue the hippy breastfeeding the school aged child, cue the homebirther, cue the woman with baby in a sling (how shocking!).  Thankfully this show lost most of it’s credibility years ago, most people I know who actually watch it think that it’s laughable that they see themselves as investigative journalists.  More like an upmarket Today Tonight, making stories up for ratings.  Must have been a slow news week!     Tania x   -- No virus found in this incoming message.
