Poll question: Who were the biggest media whores: Schindlers or Elian's American Relative
Nothing like being in a vegetative state or a 6 year old boy and having some loud mouth, obnoxious relative use the media to promote their warped opinions. Obviously the Schindlers care nothing about their own daughter to make her into a "Three Ring circus" while she suffers. And Elian Gonzalez was just a little kid who had no clue the media mess his Aunt & Great Uncle made of him. The thing that the Gonzaleses & Schindlers had in common - they played upon the Right-wing neo-cons & media to promote their cause, which ironically the rest of America overwhelmingly did NOT support.

So who was the biggest media whores?

The Gonzales's because they have a screaming, hysterical and hyperventilating woman screaming at the cameras and the Schindler's don't.

9. in terms of media whores it was Elian's relatives but
