Don't think for a minute that the media orchestrated this tight-rope walk between good and bad news. This is obviously the work of the Public Relations/Damage Control experts employed by Lutheran's parent company who worked their magic leveraging the local media. Of course, the media isn't totally off the hook on this one, since their cooperation in this case of "news management" is guaranteed by the lucrative advertising contracts that the media has negotiated with Lutheran and their parent company. In fact, each of the videos on the 21Alive website is preceded by a Lutheran Hospital advertisement.
There should not be any doubt that what you see, hear and read in the media is influenced, to a great extent, by large advertisers, politicians, and other special interests.
