It's not news, those ireports are basically "reader contributions" and they choose the best ones where they can get more focus on the separate pages. This one is in the "parenting" section where she talks about why one child is enough for her.

CNN is more or less a tabloid at this point. The stories they decide to feature along with the all caps writing and sensationalized titles are more in line with TMZ than actual news.

They are only going for more clicks.

She sounds like a typical self-obsessed whiny bitch, and I'm glad she's not having any more kids. As for why it's posted, it's basically a reader contributed soundboard, and 99% of anything people have to say in articles like that is 100% garbage.

...and it was featured among the top stories on the main front page...

because of clicks, I guess. article probably bumps itself to that vertical based on attention from blog-reading simple people.

following the model of the Daily Mail: what the readers want = a side bar of glossy T&A to grab your attention, the rest of the internet news outlets will just tow the line.

Meh, there may be one dumb broke broad out there that might read it and decide to stop having kids with deadbeat guys. Worth the "risk" of there being one more boring article on the internet...

Kid is about to reach his teenage years. Good luck one-on-one with that. You're not even the same gender.

Slow news day? Thank god there's nothing going on in Kenya right now.

CNN has been like that for a very long time now. It's just the television equivalent of a blog & YouTube rants. As much as people harp on Fox News, all those 24hr news stations are six and half a dozen of each other.
