4. No Life Support for You
No Life Support for You
By Brian Montopoli, CJR Daily
Posted on March 23, 2005, Printed on March 31, 2005

For honest reporters, the Terri Schiavo case is something of a nightmare. Not so for ratings-obsessed cable news directors, of course, who must be delighted with the timing: they can now shift from the lives and deaths of Scott and Laci Peterson to the life and death of Terri Schiavo without missing a beat.

Real reporters and editors, by contrast, have to decide how much, or even whether, to anchor their reports in a larger context – a tricky decision when reporting about an issue that inflames cultural and political passions. And they know that media bias warriors are scrutinizing every sentence, ready to attack at the first sign of reporting that doesn't square with their worldview.

Example: Most everyone in Washington (and, for that matter, elsewhere) believes that grandstanding politicians are using the issue for political gain. But should that information be included in every story, or should news consumers be allowed to come to their own conclusions?

One option is to simply put forth incontrovertible facts – say, by including in each story quoting a Republican lawmaker, the fact that a one-page GOP memo leaked last week called the Schiavo case "a great political issue" that would appeal to the party's base and potentially result in the defeat of Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida.

Snip ......

6. Baby Removed From Life Support in Texas
HOUSTON (AP) - A critically ill 5-month-old was taken off life support and died Tuesday, a day after a judge lifted an injunction preventing doctors from halting care they believed to be futile. His mother had fought to keep him alive.

9. That baby's condition (congenital defect) was incompatible with life. The
ventilator was only prolonging his suffering.
