CNN’s Sanjay Gupta Fawns Over Kevorkian in Pre-HBO Documentary PR Blitz

HBO will be airing a documentary on Kevorkian on June 28th.  It will undoubtedly be a soft and positive take on Kevorkian.

This morning, in what was no doubt the first in several media gigs stage-managed by CNN, Sanjay Gupta gives a stunningly shallow and fawning account of a day spent with Kevorkian.  Not that we in the disability community expect much from Sanjay Gupta – last year, he grossly misreported the facts on the Community Choice Act, and has so far not bothered to apologize for his error or to correct the record.

Sanjay Gupta’s report on his visit with Kevorkian can be read here.  There is a “comment” section – I’ve already done so and invite others to do the same.  –Stephen Drake
