Fr. Rob Johansen had questions about a Biography Channel special on Terri Schindler Schiavo that aired last night (post was written before airing, and based on concerns raised by Terri’s parents)

My suspicion regarding this is reinforced by this salient point: The Schindlers were never approached by anyone from The Biography Channel or A&E (The Biography Channel’s parent company) for interviews or even any backgrounf material. The first that the Schindlers heard about this was today, in an e-mail from a friend. I suppose the program could rely only on already-published material, which would be merely lame on their part. But if they present Michael Schiavo or spokespeople for him without giving similar opportunity to the Schindlers, then that would really be "notorious".
