When it comes to coverage of domestic violence and/or child abuse issues, I’m disheartened on a daily basis at the profound level of media bias, societal bias, and general slant towards “man blaming” which continues unabated.

Another apparently wonderful father and man is murdered, allegedly as a result of the diabolical planning of his estranged wife and her new boyfriend.
