Media Pisses Me Off

Okay, just read this story. I know, I know, sensational as it is, but check out the ways things are phrased here. Pay particular attention to the bolded area.


(CNN) -- It's over for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.

The pop singer, known for hits such as "Oops ... I Did It Again" and "Toxic," is divorcing her husband of two years and one month. Spears and Federline, one of the singer's former backup dancers, married October 6, 2004, according to the divorce papers.

Spears filed legal papers Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences."

She is asking for legal and physical custody of their two children, 1-year-old Sean Preston and 2-month-old Jayden James.

Spears did agree in the filing to let Federline have visitation rights.

The date of separation was listed as Monday.

Spears also requested that her earnings and accumulations from after the date of separation, miscellaneous jewelry and personal effects and other undisclosed assets to be declared separate property.

Spears' attorney, Laura Wasser, could not be reached for comment.

Spears, 24, married Federline after a six-month courtship in 2004. In January 2004, she had married childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas, Nevada. That marriage was annulled after 55 hours.

Federline, 28, previously had a relationship with actress Shar Jackson. The union produced two children, one of whom was born two months before he married Spears. Federline recently released a rap album, "Playing With Fire."

The Spears-Federline marriage has been chronicled in detail in celebrity magazines since the pair tied the knot, with rumors of problems often surfacing.

Yes, that one little sentance that I bolded really pissed me off. It is like it is sooo blase that the sentance is included.

Okay, most people, for whatever reason think that he is a scumbag, and that may be true, but that doesn't make him a bad dad. If it is proven he is not able to look after his kids and they may be in harms way by being with him, then fair enough, but how lovely of her to just "agree to let him have visitation". What kind of shit is that?

I remember seeing pictures of her driving around with the kids un her lap while unrestrained...what about that? If that were him, the media would say he is a monster, but does that make her, THE MOTHER a bad parent? Oh no...of course not!

It is his right to have half the time with his kids.
