Top of the Morning: Birthing Photo Censored, but Kim Kardashian's Nude Photo is Okay?

1. Facebook gets flak for selective censorship

U.K. mom Milli Hill wrote a letter to protest why Facebook took down a photo of a mom giving birth that she posted, while Kim Kardashian’s nude photos are still being shared freely on the social media site. Hill posted the photo on The Positive Birth Movement page, a nonprofit organization that aims to support women in all of their birth choices, of which Hill is a founding member. Although Facebook hasn’t reinstated the photo, it has apologized for taking it down. Small victory? We’ll take it. (huffingtonpost.com)

4. TV schedule fail
Some parents in the U.S. are mad that ABC aired an episode of the political thriller TV series Scandal which contained "graphic sex in the opening scene" immediately after the kid-friendly Halloween special It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. “In less than 26 seconds, we were taken from the Peanuts pumpkin patch to a steamy Scandal sex scene. Twenty-six seconds, boom. Unless parents had the remote control in their hand, thumb on the button and aimed directly at the TV screen, they didn’t have a chance,” said Parents Television Council president Tim Winter in a statement.
