The qustion must be asked, "Is this the last last hope for Terri Shiavo?" |
|
The Schindlers have gone to the Supreme Court,... AGAIN.
The media is touting it as Terri Shiavo's last hope,... AGAIN.
Is it?
I hope so.

1. WHY is this being characterized as 'parents fight for her life' rather |
|
than 'husband fights to honor wife's wishes?'

8. Been doing for weeks now. One a day, every day: a call, email or fax to |
|
media and/or congressional member about SOMETHING. This has been the big one lately though, that and calls for Scarborough's ouster. Talk about factually unencumbered, sheesh... And of course, the liars at Faux Fraudcasting are beyond the pale in their erroneous 'reporting.' Why is the mythical 'liberal media' only looking at it from the PARENTS' side?

6. Because the first is more 'reality tv' sounding. |
|
More 'entertaining'. It's really sad that our so-called news programs have elevated this sad private medical situation above all the news they could present worldwide.

7. I used to actually feel sympathy.. |
|
.... for her parents. Not any more. This is clearly and absolutely just a game to them. They should feel more shame than sorrow.

5. What burns my ass most about the media coverage |
|
is that everytime they show the video footage, THEY NEVER SAY WHEN IT WAS TAKEN. The customary "File footage" bug is nowhere to be seen. Is it from last month? Last year? Before the turn of the fucking millennium?
So when they talk about her, the audience is meant to think that it's a fair representation of what her condition was when the tube was pulled--when in all likelihood, it's video from YEARS ago.
Gah.

9. The one where Mom is breathing on her eyelids and bouncing in and out |
|
of her face, making it appear that Terri is 'responding?' I think that's from 2000, if I remember right. I don't believe it's from the last 2-3 years though, but certainly could be mistaken.
