You know... as far as "using" Fox for "sympathy" I see it no differently than the police putting the distraught mother of the missing child begging for their kid's safe return on TV.
You want to show how much this event (in this case disease) can hurt people, and then tell them what can be done to help it. I think *Most* people know that of course the media is going to play on our emotions. It's nothing new and nothing others haven't done in the past, or won't be done in the future, so why attack M J Fox for doing it ?

Because he's supporting a liberal candidate of course. I am so sick of this whole 'hurr lie-berals' 'hurr republi-can'ts' argument. It's never about issues and policy, it's always 'you suck because you belong to this party and vote this way.'

Yes, because I find Jon Stewart funny and entertaining, as well making some good points, obviously I know nothing. It has nothing to do with the fact that I do not agree with the new laws and policies that have been made by the current republican majority.
For instance-I agree with gay marriage, stem cell research and abortions. This means I will support the candidate who believes the same things.
If John McCain runs for president in 2008 and I agree with his stances, then I will vote for him (I should have my citizenship by then).

I personally think Ann Cooter just says the things she says to sell books. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Did anyone happen to catch Micheals interview with Katie?

I think he explained the effects very well.
