And yes, there is a smoking gun. It's all here in the many Terri threads. The investigative reporters came in the persons of a whole cadre of FReepers using their internet research skills.
Has it made a difference to the media? Proof of the pudding is in the eating. The Florida print and electronic information sources continue to misinform the Citizens of Florida. The majority of them think Terri's family are wearing the black hats.
So much for the 'truth will set you free' approach.
