The news media should cut it out! They are apparently disturbing the weak & gullible, those prone to hysteria. 
"It’s one thing to be empathetic, but it’s quite another to be so consumed by the news that you lose sight of what should be one of the happiest days of your life."
Actor James Van Der Beek, upon welcoming his fifth child, a daughter last month:
When Van Der Beek announced his new daughter’s birth on Instagram, he wrote: “As I write this, kids are being ripped from the arms of their parents. By our government. For the kid’s benefit? No — the opposite — as a purposeful display of cruelty to deter would-be illegal border crossers AND legal asylum seekers (it’s happening to both). And it wouldn’t be honest to wax poetic about my new-baby bliss without speaking up against this atrocity.”
He went on for several more paragraphs before adding at the end, almost as an afterthought, “And our new baby’s name is Gwendolyn.”
