I wish I had. The radical anti-abortion crowd, including one so-called national leader of a group that approves of killing abortion doctors made this their issue for a time, since the TV cameras were there.

School buses and students who walked to school passed her nursing home. The sign wavers were out there, pushing their agenda, waving photos at the kids before and after school.

Coverage of THAT on local TV did a lot to hurt Terri's cause.


When the S. Pete Times reviewed the entire videotape,that too was a PR disaster.

This has been a very tough legal fight from the beginning. The incredibly bad PR by people wanting their 15 minutes of face time only made it worse.

The mathematical results don't lie. Terri came into this with 4 out of 5 Tampa Bay residents suppoprting her cause. Now, about 30% do.

It's a horrible shame.

#557 is completely inaccurate. Mary Jo Melone who had a puny column for the St. Pete Times was FIRED towards the end of last year for saying that Terri's supporters were relentless. A year before, Mary Jo did a column that said "Michael Give Up", something like that. WELL, MARY JO'S BEEN FIRED, had to clean her desk after she complimented Terri's supporters.

I was there the day Mary Jo Melone dropped by Hospice. On that day, there were maybe ten people standing around and our signs said SAVE TERRI, JEB'S PHONE NUMBER, etc. Mary Jo was spinning re: how afraid the children were. We aren't wrestlers. We are normal looking, non-threatening people. PURE MAKE BELIEVE.

Eventually, those who side with Michael lose. They are no longer living due to illness or whatever, they are fired, they are about to be in big trouble.

Someone has just shown up on the Terri threads to discredit and demoralize. JUST IGNORE THEM.

Instead, visit www.theempirejournal.com and read investigative reports by a real journalist.

What "local TV" station(s) covered that? Do you have any sources to back up your claims?
