Pregnant policewoman's request for light duty denied

[pedinurse]

I think your comment about the little snippet is valid. None of us know from the words "and her doctor agrees" or (whatever they were) exactly what is going on. It seems that if her doctor had a written statement saying that for medical reasons she needed light duty the article would say so. However, we don't know for sure whether she has written orders from the doctor or if she told her doctor that light duty would minimize the risk to her and her baby and the doctor agreed.

This is yet another case where it is easy to point fingers and say who is wrong. I think the media intentially writes articles that way so that people on either side buy/ read their papers/articles. I think that the news selects the details they want to report and that is what we read. In this case, they dangled a carrot to get people intrigued, but never provided any substantial information on what the real details are.

i think you are right about that. there are soo many cases where one side looks sympathetic in the regular media until you get the entire story... which is widely known. i think that in print it is usually a little better, but tv is bad! you read these articles and watch these stories, and then you get the whole story... then you go back and think... why wasn't this talked about in the beginning? i've had info that has totally changed my opinions. the shooting of that 'groom' in NYC is one... hubby was like... he was unarmed and doing nothing wrong, just walkin around, and i'm like... do you know the WHOLE story? or just what you heard on CNN?
