Perhaps recollections differ. As I recall, the only group who wanted and demanded media coverage was the group of Terri supporters outside the hospice. They used the media to help propel Congress into unwise legislation, used the media to help publicize their death threats, used the media to show pictures of little children they sent in to purposely get arrested...for the media.

So to now condemn the media seems more than a little disingenuous...at best.

So, the media are willing tools of the religious right? That will surprise the heck out of the media types.

As I recall, from following Terri's story for two years, for the most part, the media presented the liars' version of Terri's story.

Maybe the reporters were lazy. Maybe they had an agenda. They certainly tended to be biased.

You're joking, right?

I don't recall it being emphasized other than in talk radio that Terri's "husband" was living with another woman at the time he wanted her to be killed. I think you need to recheck your recollection.
