Your link to the AP article at the Washington Post reveals the following headline:
"Frist Stands by Statements on Schiavo"
Frist's actual statement as reported is nuanced and reasonable. He does not reverse himself or back down. The headline should not be allowed to mischaracterize his whole response.
Good catch.
I just can't hardly believe anyone would try to mischaracterize Frist's beliefs and actions on this matter. No way would the AP do that.....sarcasm off/
"Frist's actual statement as reported is nuanced and reasonable. He does not reverse himself or back down. The headline should not be allowed to mischaracterize his whole response."
That won't stop those wanting Terri Schiavo be killed from twisting whatever Frist says into whatever they want.
Terri was severely brain damaged.
Terri died of dehydration, a particularly cruel way to die.
Brave New World, and all.
The WP played games. When I first saw the article, it had a lot of detail of what Frist actually said, that he did not regret standing up for Terri and stands by his diagnosis based on the videotape, etc.
Then when I posted the link, and I looked, they posted a completely different article with the same title, mostly quoting Felos.
I guess they must have gone back to the more reasonable article and changed the title to reflect the content.
Too bad we can't post full articles, so we could track the way they change stuff minute by minute sometimes.
