I've never intentionally listened to a song by Madonna, and I religiously avoid the Wall Street Journal editorial pages because I don't like troglodytes. But today's WSJ has a column called "Give Madonna a Break" and I couldn't agree more. The author is the head of something called Friends of the Orphans. As a member of the media, I am embarrassed by the attention being paid to her personal attempt to save a boy who was abandoned, as so many are, at several weeks old, and the media taking advantage of his naive father to get a specious story. We really have a junk culture. And even if Madonna is somewhat responsible for creating that junk culture, she shouldn't be hounded by it while doing something noble.
