News outlets ignored questions about doctor who claimed Schiavo
can be helped
Dr. William Hammesfahr, a Florida
neurologist who claims that he can help Terri Schiavo, has promoted his
treatment plan on Christian Broadcasting Network's
The 700 Club and has
been cited by anti-abortion activist Randall Terry, a spokesman for Schiavo's
parents, in newspaper articles. But questions have been raised about Hammesfahr,
who was disciplined by the Florida Department of Health in 2003, and news
outlets that have repeated Hammesfahr's claims have ignored those
questions.
Who is Randall Terry?
Christian activist
href="http://www.randallterry.com/home/index.cfm?page=1">Randall Terry has
reappeared in the news in recent days as the spokesman for the parents of Terri
Schiavo. Terry, founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue and the
href="http://www.societyfortruthandjustice.com/">Society for Truth and
Justice, appeared on Fox News at least four times in the past four days --
on the March 18 edition of
Hannity & Colmes, and during live coverage
of the Schiavo case on March 20 and March 21. But Terry has a controversial past
that was not fully disclosed in any of his Fox News appearances or on the March
19 edition of National Public Radio's
Weekend Edition, which aired a
brief clip from Terry. In all but one of those instances, Terry was identified
only as the Schindler family spokesman.
