No, it's not, I'm afraid. I don't think the mainstream media here wants us to think too deeply about it.

Okay, one last, really last, I promise, post before I log off. ;)
"I don't think the mainstream media here wants us to think too deeply about it."
That is definitely the case here.
When the news first broke people had conflicting feelings, because it was all new. They wondered if she had any life and should be kept alive, on the other hand, they felt revulsion that she was being starved/dehydrated to death.
But then, thanks to incremental propaganda, the feeling in the media now is that MS is a hero and has been unfairly villified.
Now, to be fair, I will say that I really have no idea what is the truth here. I have read all the links that I could but sometimes I still wonder. It may be that to some degree, he has been. I really do not know.
But in Canada now (or at least in eastern Quebec/Ontario), there apparently is no other side.
Anyone who wants to keep Terri alive is "needlessly prolonging her suffering." Don't worry, she feels nothing from this experience, no hunger, no thirst, because she has no brain activity.
And never mind the contradiction between the two because next up is a report on the NHL lock out and whether or not there will be a hockey season next year.
It was an amazing thing, to watch the media line up in conformity.
