House to consider bill to 'save Terri'

The House of Representatives will meet in a special session Sunday to consider a compromise bill that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said could "save Terri Schiavo."

FULL STORY

Meanwhile, here's the International CNN lead article. Why aren't the protests featured on our own US CNN site? We're stuck with the weeks old, tired drama of Terry Schiavo. It's really unbelievable.

1. yeah, and when the Schiavo dust settles, there's always...

...Michael Jackson and STEROIDS IN BASEBALL.

I don't know which is more useless, the U.S. press or the U.S. Congress.

2. Don't forget the Supreme Court!

They've been pretty useless, too.

4. Because you guys have to drink the Kool-Aid? Because CNN

wants you to bond with the pro-life groups who are only pro-life so long as it does not involve teaching kids about STDs that can kill them.

6. I swear CNN International is run by different people....

...or maybe Rove's henchmen don't control that network because they know no Americans watch it.

9. MSNBC is just as BAD as CNN

11. My relatives is in the UK say that CNN International is still top quality

Only in the US have we descended into the decadent realm of infotainment.

Maybe the real journalists go to CNN International instead of the style over substance hacks we have here stateside.
