Tampa, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's family is upset with the media for again erroneously depicting the disabled woman as "brain dead" when she was able to interact with them before her former husband took her life. This time, the Schindler family says ABC News and the New York Times wrongly reported on her condition

Schindler said the media also fails to report the medical records confirming that Terri at one time was beginning to speak, or the videos of Terri interacting with her family and her surroundings. Those prove she was alive and responsive, he said.

"This has been a major problem with the mainstream media -- not just that they are writing that Terri was brain dead, but how they continue to inaccurately and irresponsibly report blatant falsehoods regarding my sister's condition," Schindler explained.

Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri's sister, chimed in as well.

"If the media took the time to research Terri's case, perhaps they would understand that she was simply a woman living with a disability, just like the 50 million persons living with a disability in our country today," she told LifeNews.com.

6. I think it's time for the nooz people to find a connection between Terri and Natalee.

And Anna Nicole, for good measure.

I mean, if they're gonna serve up crap, at least freshen it up a bit.
