NPR on Terri Schiavo
Dawn Eden, ever the clever headline writer, has a post titled NPR’s Persistently Deceptive State in which she points out:
Just heard on NPR’s “All Things Considered”: “Doctors say Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state.” Then the announcer added, in a clearly incredulous tone of voice, “Schiavo’s parents are fighting to prevent the removal of her feeding tube.”
The media keeps repeating this “persistent vegetative state” canard. Never mind all the doctors—including a Nobel Prize nominee—who deny that she is in such a state.
This morning on Morning Edition, she was referred to as “the severely brain damaged woman who is being kept alive by a feeding tube.” That is much more accurate.
