COMMENTS: Content Creep from the Ayem Timeslot (Contd)
Amy Chua's book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, a self-congratulatory paean to her own take-no-prisoners style of parenting, landed free publicity from NBC's Rehema Ellis by way of Chua's much-linked Wall Street Journal article entitled "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior." Ellis traveled to New Haven to chat with Sophia and Louisa, the daughters of Yale Law School's Tiger Mother. How did Lulu, then aged twelve, respond to a regimen of no sleepovers, no playdates, no television, no computer games? The girl rebelled and her mother relented.
READER COMMENTS BELOW:
I wonder to what extent Nightly News's decision to profile Chua and her family was a result of Tom Brokaw's enthusiastic endorsement of her book.
