Hi, msmagoo! Happy Saturday to you!

Thanks for posting your search about the years of misinformation of Terri being in a coma, which though incorrect has become the truth the public knows, to the detriment of Terri and justice.

This experience shows how important it is to correct misinformation in the media no matter how small or insignificant it might seem at the time.

I will give media a little bit of credit for recently substituting "brain-damaged" for "comatose" (probably in response to emails from Terri's attorney and the public) but that is just the tip of the disinformation iceberg.

The whole case is a perversion of law! Take this quote from CNN on August 26, 2003:

"But Greer said Terri Schiavo's infection must be treated aggressively until the moment of her death."

Also, the misleading title of that article is "Judge: Comatose woman must be treated" yet the first sentence of the article is:

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A woman who has been ruled to be in a persistent vegetative state and is fed through a tube must be given life-saving treatment in a Florida hospital, according to a Pinellas County judge.

Larry King gave a full hour to the HINO and his attorney - when will the 'other side' get their due?

Ken Connor, Dr. Hammesfahr, Dr. Walker deserve equal time on LKL.
