So what is it...are you defending pedos and clearly insane, or are you making a point about the sensationalism of the media?

As I understand it his point is that whether or not someone is attracted to children is irrelevant to a news article about a child abduction unless the child is fiddled in the process. That being attracted to children isn't a crime, but acting upon said attraction is. Therefore sensationalist media that reports on an abduction by a paedophile shouldn't use shock tactics and throw around the word to promote interest in the article, unless paedophilic acts are performed in the abduction.
