Reflecting on the year passing as Christmas is just about here, I found this article by Pamela Hennessy for OpinionEditorials.com expresses my own thoughts.

It recalls our deep frustrations at trying to hand or show powerful evidence documents to the press in front of the hospice. For the most part, they turned away, or their superiors spiked any incipient story. But in the crowd of peacefully concerned people demonstrating, they sought out the few. They zeroed in on the very few scientologists, Mikey friends, paid disruptors and malcontents and turned away from the Truth surrounding them.

Excerpt

Since before 2002 and, prior to my becoming involved in Terri’s case, I watched the media’s handling of her story with not just a diminutive amount of dismay. For years, the media reported Terri’s condition as ‘brain-dead’, even though no such diagnosis had ever been proffered by examining physicians. They repeatedly referred to her as someone on life support, in a coma, terminally ill and dying. None of their descriptions had any basis in fact and they painted a very dismal image for the public to rely upon to form their opinions.

Top Story and No Story

Lest we grow discouraged, we must recall a great amount of good sprung from this travesty. On a lighter note, CWA writes in The Dakota Voice with a list of accomplishments.

If the msm can form such a tight knit lie about Terri, a virtually unknown ordinary person, one can only imagine what they've spoon fed the nation all these years.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Terri's friends.

FYI: There IS a St. Petersburg Times in Moscow. This was on world net daily.

I bet it's not as left wing as www.sptimes.com.
