Let's shame the media for its inept Terri coverage

Posted on 04/29/2005 9:39:06 AM PDT by david ford

I humbly submit that it is time for another event similar to the discrediting of CBS's phony documents story, which began here in Free Republic. My reply to this will have details.

I humbly submit that it is time for another event similar to the discrediting of CBS's phony documents story, which began here in Free Republic. Here are two more left-wing media stories needing national exposure of their discrediting:

1. Michael Schiavo is a loving husband (in reality, he verbally and physically abused Terri, very probably caused her infamous collapse, he committed fraud in malpractice trials seeking money over that collapse, and he lied about her wishes and helped contribute to her murder-via-starvation out of his desire for $750,000 gross upon her death).

2. Terri was in a persistent vegetative state (in reality, Terri wasn't in a PVS, but instead had a minimal level of consciousness, could feel pain, and could do some limited verbalizing).

I request your assistance in getting these erroneous left-wing media stories nationally discredited.

Some ideas for action steps:
1) Become even more informed about Terri's actual condition and Michael's abuse:
a) read the nurse and nursing assistant statements:
Terri caregiver video clips
http://groups.google.co.in/groups?selm=b1c67abe.0504201401.42d3081e%40posting.google.com
b) read
23 March 2005 William Cheshire affidavit: someone is there; Terri can anticipate and feel pain
http://groups.google.co.in/groups?selm=dford3-3ak2l1F6att0vU1%40individual.net

2. Review my Chronology of Events, draft 3 being in
call for Terri Schiavo hearings
http://groups.google.co.in/groups?selm=7055e676.0504251326.b43d97%40posting.google.com

3. Contact people in Fox News, the _Washington Times_, Newsmax, and WorldNetDaily, and ask that they devote resources to investigating the matter. News organizations can build on the work done at
http://theempirejournal.com/greer_schiavo_articles.htm
which has among other items the not-printable "Analysis You Be The Judge: Was Terri Schindler-Schiavo A Strangulation Victim?"

4. Contact congressional leadership and members of the judiciary committees, describe some highlights of what you read, and request that hearings be held on the matter.

I invite additional ideas for action steps, and your thoughts.

I'm proposing that we work together to attempt to have the left-wing media shamed over its inept coverage of the abuse and attempted murder in the Terri Schiavo saga.
The left-wing media has a lot of explaining to do.

Analysis of comments in article
"'L.A. Times': Rep. Tom DeLay Took His Own Father Off Life Support in 1988"
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000855929

'Doctors advised that DeLay's father would "basically be a
vegetable,"'
Terri wasn't a "vegetable." Refs:

2002 report of William Hammesfahr
http://groups.google.co.in/groups?selm=dford3-3aq5f3F6dhsi9U1%40individual.net

"'the sad family consensus to let his father die.'" "When his kidneys
failed, the family decided against connecting him to
a dialysis machine."
The Schindlers desperately wanted their daughter/ sibling to not be
starved to death. There didn't exist a family consensus that Terri
needed to be starved to death.

"'Both were incapable of surviving without continuing medical
assistance.'"
Before she was starved to death, Terri Schindler Schiavo could be
fed by hand. Judge Greer ruled in one of his more outrageous and
sicker rulings that Terri's parents couldn't give her food and water
by hand.

"'Both were said to have expressed a desire to be spared life
sustained by machine.'"
False with respect to Terri.

David, I am with you all the way. I followed Terri's case very closely, and delved into her past, records from the hospital, affadavits, etc. I unrelentingly sent emails to President Bush, and Govenor Bush, along with my Senators from Kentucky. I posted as much as I could on-line.

I am, however, still relatively new to the FR, and am not sure how to go about this. In the coming week, I will study the links you have posted, and do my best to get this out. I have a blog, manage a MSN message board, and have some other contacts I can shoot this to, including the Central KY chapter of the Protest Warriors.

Let me know what, when, where, and how else I can help. JK
