MEDIA FAVORITES: KEVORKIAN AND PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS. At The Corner, Mona Charen writes about a fawning article about Dr. Death from The New York Times:

Jack Kevorkian, the former pathologist once known as Doctor Death, says he will never again counsel a terminally ill person on how to die. But eight years behind bars and a strict list of promises to gain parole have done nothing to mellow the blunt, passionate, combative advocate for physician-assisted suicide.[Emphasis added]

Charen notes that Kevorkian was less then discriminating when it came to helping people he did not know kill commit suicide:

He is a twisted man who presided over the deaths of at least 130 people, some of whom he had known only 24 hours before agreeing to help end their lives. One of his "patients" Rebecca Badger, who was 39, apparently told Dr. Death that she wished to die because she had multiple sclerosis (a non-fatal condition). But it gets worse. When the coroner performed an autopsy on her body he found no disease. "I can show you every slice from her brain and spinal cord," he told the Washington Post, "and she doesn't have a bit of MS. She looked robust, fairly healthy. Everything else is in order, except she's dead."

This is the "the blunt, passionate, combative advocate for physician-assisted suicide"--which just goes to show you that when it comes to killing, terrorist attacks on civilian targets are not the only thing the media can spin.
