That sign Horse-felos is holding is hard to read, but if you use a magnifying glass you almost can.

It looks like it says, "I suck".

Felos's best weapon is manipulating the press. He wrote about it delightedly somewhere -- must have been in his book. What he'd learned, years ago, was that if he fed the press his side of the case in catchy sound bites, the press coverage of the trial would use his words and make his case. (Which, btw, is why the press sounded just as sociopathic and obsessed with death as Felos when reporting Terri's ordeal.)

Michael Geer reflects similarly this morning in American Thinker about the Cheney hunting accident. He observes: when the press griped that they didn't get the news of the hunting accident soon enough, what they revealed is that they didn't get the story at all. They only got it from handouts. They don't do news gathering and reporting any more. They are completely dependent on press conferences and press releases and manufactured "news" (such as reporting opinion polls and studies as news).
