Terri Schiavo and the separation of powers

quote:

---

If it is really true that Bush signed a law allowing hospitals to unhook patients over the wishes of relatives, in order to save money, why is no one hammering on this in the media?

---

Because your media is compliant and toothless, and merely reports government statements rather than questioning them.

---

This would be a great way to stick it to Bush.

---

And why would they want to do that?

quote:

---

Contra, why on earth are you trying to start an argument?

---

Why do you construe a direct answer to your question as a desire to start an argument?

Because it was not a direct answer, it was simply a slam job.

---

No, it was a direct answer.

Not specifically, probably because Bush cannot be any further discredited.This sort of proposition does have cogent arguments in its favour, of the accounting variety. The answer to the question as to why this was not used to attack Bush is that US media has no interest in doing so. They do not question, they merely report.

quote:

---

Instead of finding an excuse to inject diatribe, why not come up with a serious answer, especially when you feel compelled to answer a rhetorical question?

---

Why don't you accept an honest answer when you get one?
