I just heard that she had a bowel movement this morning. Isn't this going overboard?

I think it's great she's doing so well. Recovery from such injuries are hard on the body.

God speed Ms. Giffords!

If you are not the only one, I hope there are darned few that are so insensitive to only want to know if she dies.

Thankfully, it appears she is a survivor. I attribute our shared good will and hopes for her recovery as a contribution to that recovery.

I hope as many people will feel so kindly to you should you experience hardship.

I go with the op. If she blows her nose it will be news. My sympathy for politicians is not in the high range. The joke now though, it seems to me, is the shooter is alleged to have shot her. We can't just execute the trash and be done with it.

Obviously, there are people who care enough about her to want to know her medical status. To those of us who never heard of her until she was shot, yes, it's a bit tedious, but we can just turn the page or change the channel. I am one who never heard of her before, and I do hope she recovers, but I'm not one for the details of medical procedures, either. Anybody's.

She's back in the ICU with a fluid buildup on her brain. Prayers for her!

Ask yourself, if she weren't a Democrat - would you care more?

Default Also tired of media coverage of the Giffords

Really, as someone said above, tired of Lindsay Lohan as well. It's just American style news coverage. I'm American, but when I was living overseas, my Brit buddies let me know right away how propagandized we were, and suggested I start reading other English language papers NOT from American sources--changed my life!

Not to say the English don't overhash certain events (current royal wedding comes to mind), but isn't there other things to report on that merit news worthy information rather than the recovery of a politician that did, to her good fortune, survive and attack, but is it really news worthy this late in the game? If it were the President, I could understand. Americans and America really lost its sense of priority I think, sometime in the mid 70s-the media just got out of control after Watergate.
