My last post refers to a girl assaulted in a bathroom. Here’s the thought I did not include in that post; I am sure many similar stories exist but they never have hit the media radar. That radar is all about ratings. Where are the ratings? Right now, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are great for ratings. We know all about what they are doing. Chris Christie could be meditating in an ashram in Nepal for all most of know, however.

I am sure those assaults in bathrooms have been occurring. But unless someone was seriously injured or killed, such a story would not have qualified for air time. As mores change and the landscape shifts beneath us, similar stories may acquire traction. Suddenly bathroom safety has hit the fringes of the news. Whether these stories get bumped to the head of the line will depend on the ratings from similar stories.
