she's an idiot - none of those shows promote any useful or positive discussion about teen pregnancy - they are just selling tickets to a train-wreck, and they aren't trying to make it glamorous; most likely they edit it to be as salacious as possible.

Not to be argumentive or anything, (I am in a let's discuss it kind of mood) but it always strikes me as peculiar when someone calls someone an "idiot" who is hired to do a job and churns out something that becomes a money-earning nationwide broadcact success. Sounds more like "mission accomplished" than anything else to me. She couldn't please everyone, so it's best that she pleased herself.
