Journamalism

Wolf the Beard just informed his viewers that (rough quote) "A recent string of abductions have some grandparents concerned and wondering what they can do to keep their children safe..."

Look, this is just tabloid journalism. He's implying that there have been more abductions than usual, rather than just more abducted people who CNN deems attractive enough to cover 24/7. One of the abductions, of course, wasn't even an abduction.

Actual journalism would involve taking 15 seconds away from the Where the White Women At show to actually answer the question of whether there has actually been an uptick in abductions.
