Woo! ABC Nightly News gets it right!

After many media snafus in the coverage of the Ban the Bags success in NYC, finally, someone got it right! Click here to see the story played again. Finally, fair and reasonable coverage with accurate information (and several babies NIP). It's too bad though that the spokesperson who pointed out that some moms "have" to formula feed to return to work and shouldn't be made to feel guilty couldn't have pointed out instead that if the US had reasonable maternity leave laws (6 months-1 year), then the vast majority of women would be able to breastfeed their babies and the need for formula would be drastically reduced.
