Ugly Babies, Dumb Reporters

This is what irritates me about the way psychology is covered in the news. The title of the article is "Is an Ugly Baby Harder to Love?" It starts out suggesting that moms may love their infants more if they're pretty. The evidence? Women--moms and non-moms--looked at pictures of "flawed" infants (those with cleft palates, etc.) for shorter periods of time than did men & both looked at pretty babies longer than "flawed" babies. Granted, they offer alternative explanations, but most people will read the title & nothing else, or stop after the first few paragraphs, going away with the notion that mothers care for and love their prettier infants more than their less-than-perfect infants. Dumb.
