You pat each other on the back after throwing out those statements when it doesn't make sense.
Where exactly is the line drawn? You seem perfectly fine discussing private aspects of local business/owners and govt even though you may not have the need or right to know. And G_d knows I've seen WAY too much info on certain people's personal life that they should keep to themselves but they spew it out anyways. I think the need to know or right to know has no application here.
I didn't say you don't have the right to watch public TV, but you are the one who said
1) How can you claim that the mom should have no idea what might be happening to her daughter? Mom isn't necessarily some naive lady with no clue about the real world.
2) Why is it odd that the mother's instinctive hunches turned out to be correct?Be what it may, there is a saying about a women's intuition.
If the answer to the above questions becomes public knowledge, so be it.
But if it doesn't become public knowledge, then the "need to know" and the "right to know" are very much applicable.
