Shame LVRJ:

The Las Vegas Review Journal, a fairly conservative newspaper, is now call bbies "it".
From the LVRJ: The Metropolitan Police Department’s abuse and neglect unit is investigating the death of a 6-month-old baby in Las Vegas on Thursday, which appears to be accidental, police said Thursday.
Las Vegas police Lt. John Liberty said officers responded to the 3800 block of Mountain Vista St. at 12:47 p.m. and performed CPR on the baby before it was rushed to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where it was pronounced dead.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/police-investigate-death-6-month-old-baby
Why couldn't the author say the baby died instead of calling the baby "it".
Seems to be a bit insensitive.
