Florida law requires that a hearing for an emergency guardianship must be held within three days of its request, and Magouirk's hearing was held April 4 before Judge Boyd. Apparently, he has not made a final ruling, but favors giving permanent guardianship power to Gaddy, who is anxious to end her grandmother's life.
Again I would encourage you to read first before making a foolish statement.
Any other complaints about my "due diligence"?
It would seem that WND was in such a hurry to fan the flames that it failed to edit its story.
REALLY? I just "re-checked" WND story and here is what is posted:
This is what was reported by WND:
Georgia law requires that a hearing for an emergency guardianship must be held within three days of its request, and Magouirk's hearing was held April 4 before Judge Boyd. Apparently, he has not made a final ruling, but favors giving permanent guardianship power to Gaddy, who is anxious to end her grandmother's life
PERHAPS, they had inadvertently transposed Florida for Georgia and have since corrected their error. If so, I stand corrected and apologize.
THAT SAID, does that negate the entire factual basis for the story?
FAN THE FLAMES?
Oh yeah, that's great!!!! Never mind that this "may" be yet another case of "state-sponsored, MURDER."
Let us "Shoot the Messenger" if "whoever they are" does not comport to "your" perceived standards of what constitutes a "legitimate/believable" news media outlet.
Makes sense to me!!!
I'd be curious as to exactly what/who in the media meets your criteria as a "believable" source?
Right now, Glenn Beck is reporting on this story.
Is he also NOT to be believed, or are you simply one of the many "Pro-Death" supporters I have been exposed to over the past several weeks re: Terri Schiavo?
No apologies necessary, but yes, they put it out so fast, they forgot to edit it, and corrected it today.
THAT SAID, does that negate the entire factual basis for the story?
I don't know and I'm sure neither do you. I did not state that the story or some part of it may be true, just that WND is not going to be my usual source for information as its agenda does not include fair and balanced. For those ready to rock and roll with this, I suggested an approach that at least heard the side of the judge, Gaddy and the hospice. Then perhaps judgments may be at least based on complete information, something many here seem little interested in.

Anytime a "news" source runs with only one side of tragic story such as this, for obvious reasons, and so quickly that it could not even edit out obvious errors, I would say yes, fan the flames. BTW, I'm glad you used the word "MAY".
Let us "Shoot the Messenger" if "whoever they are" does not comport to "your" perceived standards of what constitutes a "legitimate/believable" news media outlet.
I'm suggesting shooting no one, merely asking an organization that calls itself "news" to act like one, and spend some time garnering all the facts, not just the ones that will support its agenda.
Had I read that the reporter spoke with anyone on the other side of its charges, it might have impressed me just a tad more.
Is he also NOT to be believed, or are you simply one of the many "Pro-Death" supporters I have been exposed to over the past several weeks re: Terri Schiavo?
If he did his homework then he could be more believable. You aren't suggesting that Glenn Beck is an impartial news source though, are you? As for the Pro-death crowd, not sure what you are referring to. Most of us on FR who have questioned the insanity of the circus, and the absurd federal intervention are labeled pro-death. And I'm certainly sorry that simply asking for all sides of an issue causes you such discomfort. It's an old trick that conservatives used to use to flush out the ridiculous liberal rants.
Wonder why the WND and Glen Beck failed to note this, from the LaGrange News:
At a follow-up hearing Monday, the parties reached a settlement that awarded guardianship to Gaddy provided three cardiologists – James Brennan and Thomas Gore, both of LaGrange, and Raed Aquel of Birmingham – evaluate the patient, who would receive whatever treatment two of the three recommended. A final decision had not yet been reached. “They were all hugging necks when they left court,” said Probate Judge Donald Boyd. “I don’t know what happened.”
Boyd said Gaddy testified at the hearing that she feeds her grandmother Jello, chips of ice and “anything else she’d be willing to eat.”
“I think all of Mrs. Magouirk’s family has her genuine best interests at heart, but unfortunately they disagree on what they believe would be best for her,” said Jack Kirby of LaGrange, attorney for the patient’s brother and sister.
These are the things that prompt us "pro-death" as you say folks to want to hear both sides before running off like liberals to a pro-abortion rally
