The biggest difference I can think of would be Fox's lack of a "Would you like to know more?" option. Fox knows their viewers well enough to know that the answer to that question would be a resounding "NO!"
I'm reminded of a voiceover at the begnning of the Greta van Sustern show back in early 2003.

"Saddam Hussein- the threat is REAL. So why won't the world listen?"

Fair and balanced.
Really? Interesting, because I've always liked Greta van Sustern.

It was mentioned on this this thread that Florida has a law against cohabitation. Knowing the fundy nutcases propensity to use everything in ther arsenal no matter how trivial or disgusting against their target, I wonder why they haven't brought this up more vocally. They have said that Schiavo is living with another woman and has two children but that haven't said that he's breaking Florida law, no matter how arcane.

The latest appeal to emotion from the parents is as sickening as usual, and a I paraphrase:

Those people need to be smacked with the bat of rationality. Although at this point I would prefer at .50 to the head, have them survive and lets see how they like it for 15 years.

You now reach the level of 'Absolutely disgusting' to me. He didn't put bounties on anyone's head. He is not responsible for fucking psychotics who are acting out their violent fantasies with some flimsy justification.

Just blame it all on the guy whose going through Hell, sure. Fucktard.
You're right, i was shifting blame and i shouldnt have, I appologize.

Yes i was being an idiot, i shouldn't have said anything. And you're right it was the psychopathic rightists that were endangering people, again i amdit i misinterpeted the situation. No malice here, i just needed to think about it, and you're right i was stupid to say that.

And it just broke on CNN. The Federal Appaels court has (once again) denied a request for a rehearing. This was only the FOURTH fucking time that a federal court smacked em down.
So the tube is not going back in, let's hope that Terry can now die in peace.

Those people need to be smacked with the bat of rationality. Although at this point I would prefer at .50 to the head, have them survive and lets see how they like it for 15 years.

You guys have heard about the protester who was arrested for trying to bring Schiavo a cup of water right? The funny thing about this is that dumping a cup of water down Terri's throat would've drowned her.

I think BULL might have been refering to the latest idiot to try it. I think the number is up around 48 now IIRC. And as he was being dragged away he decided to let everyone know that they don't know God from Godzilla... not really sure why he thought it was relevant or that it even made sense, but that's stupid for you...

Even if it was a new case, I think everyone here is fully aware of the consequences of pouring a glass of water down the throat of a person in PVS.

Besides, the guy is wrong. We know God from Godzilla. Godzilla can take down iron chariots.

The Adult Morons are a dime a dozen. What bothers me are the little kids that mom/pop are putting up to trying to get in there with a water bottle. Sending your kids in to get arrested/detained by the cops for political reasons :?: What a bunch of asshats.

Seems pretty weak. The father keeps on asking questions all of which the answer is yes. And she moans "yeah". Whether she would moan anything if he didnt say anything is the question which you can't tell on the tape.

Considering how much ANY noise could sound like 'yeah' this is a bit like proving a dog can say 'roof'
