The earthquake in China is quite bad. This story in particular, about a girl who will lose her legs to be rescued, is disturbing.

Girl will lose her legs to gain freedom

Aside from the horror of the subject, the journalism is bad to the point of disrespect. What's with the sensational headline?

"Freedom is a breakfastfood" (via aquarian_azalea's compelling and readable blog) wrote a sardonic e. e. cummings.

And this:

"Rescuers took a photojournalist to where Yang was trapped, before rushing his photos, along with Yang's mother, to the local hospital, where surgeons studied them in preparation."

Why are surgeons studying Yang's mother to prepare for surgery?

In any case my sympathies go out to the girl.
