I'm glad Terri Schiavo is dead. She just had an existance, not a life. She should've died long ago. Michael Schiavo did the right thing ( Read more... )

The media was all polite and respectful of the people in charge. Especially with FDR. Why can't our media be like that?

Do you really want a media that values politeness over truth? I'll agree that the media is certainly more defamatory, but that's an ethical that can be treated quite well and quite effectively - I just know I would prefer a media that tells me when the people in charge are screwing and making bad decisions, rather than just telling me things are fine and everyone's great.

I haven't heard a positive piece of news since I don't know when.
Well, that's just the general media sensibility, you know? Bad news is good for them. Brings in the money. Media isn't a service anymore, it's a business, and the more you milk the tragedy the more money you get. It sucks, but that's how it is.

Not to mention the crazy celebrity stalking...
And that's why I hate the tabloid media. Sigh. Although, being in the public eye does mean you are giving up certain rights to privacy.

Well, not necessary politeness over truth, but not having "In a horrible move today the idiot president did so stupid thing". It would be better if they reported the *news* and not put a spin on everything...

I just wish she could have come out of it SOMEHOW. I mean she would have been the biggest star EVER! Like, she would have been on Fear Factor or something..

1) Mike wanted money, he didnt truly love her.
2) My beliefs would amount to her already ending up wherever dead souls go.
3) Protesters this time around did suck.
4) They probably do that for other people when they die if they were from their hometown. Ex: Terri Shiavo would get a bigger headline in the Tampa Tribune since she was in Pinellas Park than Johnny Cochran would since he died in California or wherever the fuck.
5) I want the black pope too but it probably isnt gonna happen since they have to be voted.
6) People had it bad enough in the 1930s, why drag their name through the trash.
7) Noone cares about positive news sadly enough.
8) France smells. Go to Amsterdam. Pot heaven, everybody accepts everything, is nice, and just about all those benefits without being called a French smelly person.
9) Canada is cool, its clean.

I found myself wondering where the people who demanded we all pray for her were for the first fifteen years of her comatose state.

And in my black humorous way, I find it fitting that she starved, given that it was an eating disorder that got her that way in the first place.
