Question Did you all watch the NBC Nightly News?

The reason I ask is because they were saying how a Methodist minister has been keeping a constant vigil & he was saying some pretty Catholic things as to why, but, then they interviewed, I BELLIEVE a Catholic priest (maybe he was Anglican) saying that "There's many who believe as I do that this does not constitue as euthanasia..." First off, I didn't know it WAS ruled that, second, GRRR! Tell me somebody else saw this & I was just making things up here; this isn't what he said regarding Terri...I hate when they interview the most un-Catholic of the Catholic representatives. ...I suppose it's the same in any situation, though. They will interview the most ignorant of all the witnesses...

I didn't watch the NBC news tonight just for that reason, they seem to make a habit of interviewing the dregs of the Catholic faith. As far as news concerning Terri in paticular I watch FNC, and I am watching less of the MSM news programs all the time. I am now watching FNC on a regular basis to get a more even handed source of news and information.

NBC lost alot of our respect as a news agency some time ago. NBC will do almost anything to discredit someone/something whom it is at odds.

NBC isn't run by dummies either. They know there is a lot of prayer among all religions who know Terri is being murdered.

The best way to discredit them is to 'divide & conquer' by showing a discenting opinion as if it was the true opinion of the religious.

Its just another tactic done by NBC.

You shouldn't watch them anymore; they just aren't credible.

Thanks.

I saw the so called Priest? also and I couldn't believe my ears. I just don't understand all of this. I just listened to the interview of the nurse that had taken care of Terri in 1996 for like 18 months and she said that she found that Terri had been injected with insulin after her husband was in the room with her alone for over 20 minutes. The nurse reported it to both the police and the hospital administration but nothing was done except for her to be terminated. What is going on here??? If there are any more people that know how Terri really is or anything about this husband of hers they need to come forward and tell the truth. This is so scary. I feel in my heart that the husband is hiding something and he needs for Terri to die to keep his secret. I just don't understand why the courts and the police are siding with the husband. Please explain all of this if you can. I pray for her every time she crosses my mind, which is very often in the past couple of weeks.

1) Money and not being able to do the math.

2) Furtherance of the pro-death agenda at the hospice in which Judge Greer and the husband's lawyer have an interest. That is, more money.

I too believe that Michael Schiavo has a lot to hide. Even before the nurse talked about him giving Terri insulin, a friend who is a nurse was saying that she has been worried for a long time that he might possibly try to put something in her feeding tube...
He really does appear to be just about low enoughto pull something like this.
What I want to know is what do Michael & his lawyer have that seems to mesmerize judges...
I just don't get it.

Its a brotherhood. A house of cards. A row of dominoes. One feels that if he turns in his colleague then who is to stop the same thing from happening to him or her? It's a pack mentality. Well, they chose the wrong pack. Michael can't help himself. He is going to make a mistake and the whole pack of cards is going to fall down. On his head. tis the nature of the beast I am afraid.

Unfortunately Terri is the egg that will get cracked and completely broken. I pray for all involved,
