In the news
I'm having trouble getting Blogger to work this week, so apologies for lack of posting. It's not for lack of trying....
Trying again with a post that failed earlier: Here are some things being discussed this week about the stories in the news: Some of the people in the crowd outside Terri Schiavo's hospice have been looked at more closely by some bloggers and news sources. One, Bill Tierney, has an interesting background in military intelligence...or is that torture? (From Billmon). Another, Scott Hildreth of NC, whose son made news everywhere when he tried to break through police lines to bring Terri water and was arrested, is a registered sex offender in Florida. With all the discussion about how much money is left to support Terri and who will get it, I haven't seen much on financing of the campaign to keep her alive. Media Transparency has an article, Team Schiavo's deep pockets on the 'consortium of right wing foundations and philanthropists' who have been funding the case. There's been lots of reaction to some reports that those supporting 'tort reform' have used the legal system in ways they are trying to eliminate now: See Hypocrites of tort reform from Emily Gottleib of the Center for Justice and Democracy; and this post at Wampum Blog. Among the people who've sued for damages: President Bush, Governor Schwarzenegger, Tom Delay and Rick Santorum. Want the full story about the Florida reporter who's on the government payroll? The story is at The Sarasota Herald Tribune. posted by liz at 11:26 AM
