There is no shortage of foolish rhetoric clamoring for the attention of poor Terri Schiavo, from both the self-declared "culture of life" and the smeared "culture of death." The mystery here is why the press is so unable, or unwilling, to distinguish the grandstanders and the crusaders from those with actual, relevant comments. We hope, though, that we can all come together in agreeing that CNN has hit a new low in coverage of the story: Rod Dreher, of The Dallas Morning News, writes in despair: "Be of good cheer. I just heard Deepak Chopra on CNN assure the public that Terri is not suffering, and that her soul is now being broadcast throughout the universe. So there!"
