When did our education system fail, I read a headline "McCain welcomes Bristol, baby daddy" Shouldn't it read?

Question

Shouldn't it read McCain welcomes Bristol and her baby's Father?

Baby Daddy, why would that be on a headline?

is the whole world at grade 5?

Answer 1

Its the media's way of degrading Palin and her family to "white trash".  

Answer 2

Ugh, the trash the party has brought into mainstream politics.  So much for higher standards and family values.  Dysfunctional family values.

Answer 3

Perhaps they were responding to Fox News' reference to Obama's WIFE as his Baby Mamma.

Answer 4

McCain seems to be acting out as an overzealous "hipster".  I think he is showing off his male prowess with the younger generation of Palins and making a mockery of the Presidential / vice president slot. "ding"

Answer 5

It's one of the very annoying things in todays society. They think that sounds more "hip" when they should be concerned just about the actual news.

Answer 6

Yes, the press tries to find the lowest common denominator. We all know where this "term" originated. It should stay there.

Answer 7

What the h**l? UGH.

Answer 8

To criticize poor grammar is to belittle one's "self esteem", so you are hereby instructed to ignore all bad grammar and accept mediocrity.  I get chewed out all the time for politely correcting horrible grammar.  That's OK, the people who never bother to write can always get a job ironing my shirts.
