To show how stupid our leading members of the press are, while reporting last week about the alligator that killed a boy at Florida’s Disney World, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin was all worried about “what the gator was thinking” as he tried to eat the child.
No, seriously. She was wondering what the gator… was… thinking.
During her June 14 show, Baldwin was talking to wildlife expert Tim Williams and she blurted out this high level of stupidity…
“There were signs, ‘no swimming.’ I don’t know if there were no wildlife signs. I realize that when you come to Florida, Florida has a lot of gators. What do you think–if the child was walking around the periphery of this lagoon, it was nighttime, what would the gator be thinking?”
Again, she was wondering what would the gator… be… thinking!

It doesn’t matter what Mr. Williams replied, of course, because the question is gutwrenchingly stupid.
Gators aren’t “thinking” like a human would. They simply react out of instinct.
What did this CNN twit think, anway? Did she imagine the gator was starring at the kid and weighing his chances of getting away with eating a human?
“Hmmm,” Baldwin must have thought the gator was thinking, “I wonder what a tiny version of those tall land creatures might taste like?”
Or, maybe it was a revenge motive….
Gator: “You damned humans, you killed my son, so I’m going to eat yours!” (And it was even more frustrating for the gator because with his tiny arms he couldn’t even ball his fist and wave it in anger at the humans.)
Or maybe the gator even thought he was helping give the kid a new Disney experience? The fabulous gator ride.
Of course, we here are having fun with this CNN ninny. This terrible incident was just nature doing its thing and man getting in the way. There was no “thinking” going on, at least not on the gator’s part.
Sadly, Baldwin just goes to further the stereotype that on air cuties who read Teleprompters aren’t real journalists nor are they very smart. They are just highly coiffed airheads who look nice on TV but are otherwise halfwits without a serious thought in their pretty little heads.
