Fair and Balanced News......Ya Right

Fair and blanced news is the motto of Faux errrr Fox News. I wonder if Richard Alan Meywes (arrested in NC for alledged death threats) was a Faux listener and reader of their online website. I ask this, because John Gibson a Faux talking head seems to be pushing for some sort of anarchy in his latest My Word column. Desperate Times, Desperate Measures? Friday, March 25, 2005 By John Gibson Just to burnish my reputation as a bomb thrower, I think Jeb Bush should give serious thought to storming the Bastille. By that I mean he should think about telling his cops to go over to Terri Schiavo's (search) hospice, go inside, put her on a gurney and load her into an ambulance. They could take her to a hospital, revive her, and reattach her feeding tube. It wouldn't save Terri exactly; she'd still be in the same rotten shape she was in before they disconnected the feeding tube. But the point is, the temple of the law is so sacrosanct that an occasional chief executive cannot flaunt it once in a while, sort of drop his drawers on the courthouse steps and moon the judges, as a way to protest the complete disregard courts and judges have shown here, in this case, for facts outside the law. For instance, Michael Schiavo (search) and Terri Schiavo are still married, under the law. Anybody else in the world notes with interest that Michael Schiavo has a new love interest and has been engaged in living long enough that he has two children by her. Now let's see -- any woman in America can see Michael Schiavo and Terri Schiavo are not really married anymore. But judge after judge after judge after judge still nods his or her head and mutters, married? Yup, they're married? This is important because as husband, Michael Schiavo is her guardian and allowed to say what happens to her, how the money in her estate is spent, and so forth. There are other issues that all the judges here have decided don't rise to the level of importance -- that they would order Schiavo kept alive while more hot air is expended on this subject. But for me the big one is the judicial tendency to say, as long as the law and the process has been followed correctly and justly, doesn't matter if she lives or dies. Strikes me that that's adherence to law to a fault. I know lawyers and judges don't think that way, but real people do. Oh John, you're not saying judges aren't real people, are you? Well, judging by what happened here, I'd say yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. So Jeb, call out the troops, storm the Bastille and tell 'em I sent you. That's My Word. The talking heads at Faux and other right wing nutcases like Limbaugh, Hannity etc., need to be held accountable when bad things happen after reading or listening to their inciteful words. If so much as a hair on the head of Michael Schiavo or any judge involved in this case is harmed, I would hope they are charged as accessories.
