A baby found dead in a porta-potty at the Electric Forest music festival is a horrific tragedy, and what’s even more appalling is how the mainstream media is dissecting it. Outlets like CNN and NBC are buzzing around this tragic event, drowning in their sensationalist coverage while completely glossing over the deeper issues at play. They’re focusing on the macabre, the shock value, rather than grappling with broader questions about safety and the festival culture that allowed this situation to occur in the first place.

Lieutenant Patrick Agema of the Michigan State Police has reported that the investigation is hitting roadblocks. But does CNN mention that? No! Instead, they spin the narrative as if this is just another “unfortunate incident”, minimizing accountability. Fox News, while sometimes sharper in their scrutiny, often gets entangled in their own web of political posturing, failing to drill down into the reality of what this means for parental responsibility and the safety environments at large events.

The real question here is: why are we not demanding more transparency and accountability from festival organizers? We should be dissecting their protocols and procedures rather than dancing around the issue with cliched headlines. Like vultures, the media swoops in, eager to exploit tragedy without offering genuine insight. It’s a disgrace, and we need to call it out!
