Media inspired stereotypes

I just watched yet another episode of TV drama where a "bottle girl" struggled with making the right choice in life because she was a single mom and desperately "needed the money" in order to keep her child.
Bottle girl = the new stripper.

Apparently, in an attempt to show single mom's in a better light, (hell, all single mom's aren't strippers, right?), the new p.c. character role for single mom is "bottle girl".

HEY TVLAND! Single mom's all over the world have 9-5 jobs and make enough money to take care of their kids, are not being followed and harassed by psychotic ex's and/ or "the state", and are not faced with moral dilemma daily in a futile attempt to keep their children.
All single mom's are not being offered illegal monies in exchange for illicit activities with the knowledge that they are so desperate they won't have a choice, or the good sense to say no.

Granted it does not make for good TV, but how about a storyline where the main suspect in an extortion attempt is a parent in a two-parent household that's just plain greedy?

Not so exciting?
Not so exploitative of struggling women who actually do the right thing in life and are setting great examples for their children who are outstanding college bound students and athletes?
Not stereotypical enough of women who have moral value and are raising children with moral value?
Not pitch-able?
Boooo CSI. Weak.
