Media names the article 'Man found guilty in abuse of family member'- we have such a fatherhood exhalation that they can not even the title the headline correctly.
We all know that the 'mothers who do this they are named and the word mother is in headline. Mainstream media needs to stop protecting, keeping silent and maintaining the fatherhood exhalation.

McClintock, represented by Shawn Lunsford, testified at the trial on Thursday, saying he may have used "too much force" with his daughter, Baylee McClintock.
According to a previous report in the case, Baylee was flown to a Lubbock, Texas, hospital where a CT scan revealed multiple subdural hemorrhages in her head in various stages of healing. She was found to have bleeding into the brain and swelling of the brain. She also had a skull fracture and hemorrhaging in the retinas of her eyes, leaving her permanently blind although possibly responsive to some light.
"He told you he slammed her into the bed," said Perozynski, adding that medical examiners said her injuries were trauma-related.
"This was not an accident, this was someone who could not control themselves," Perozynski concluded.
These injuries indicated non-accidental trauma, and hospital staff notified the Carlsbad Police Department.
During his interview with Detective Sgt. Chris Kohler, who testified in the case, McClintock described how he had treated the baby during other seizures. He said he had left bruises on the child when he pinched her to keep her from falling asleep during a seizure. Once, he said, he held her the wrong way, and because of his size - 6 feet tall and weighing 300 pounds - he left bruises on her shoulders.
Eventually, McClintock admitted that he was the cause of Baylee's condition, but he did not want to come forward with the information because he was afraid of losing his daughter and afraid of going to jail, said the report.
