Really? So the BS thread title about "not expected to live," which was neither cited nor corroborated, has been proven to be garbage?

Well, it's good that you've missed the point entirely and are elated that the thread title is wrong.

Re: TV anchor attacked, not expected to live

I seriously wonder how some people who post on here even remember to breathe.

A terrible story like this doesn't need to be turned into a fight over this or that. Leave it alone people!

If you really want to use your energy up, try sending some prayers out for this woman or for the police trying to find out which despicable asshole did this to her.

Right. Let's post incorrect information in thread titles, then rip on the people who call out a guy for it.

easy, big fella...
Should he change it to "improving"? yeah, but it's not worth getting worked up about.

The thread title should never have contained the line in the first place.

Re: TV anchor attacked, not expected to live

Here's an update from the AP.
The cops say she was stabbed. The station says she wasn't.
Initial reports from her co-workers, who I spoke with, said she wasn't expected to live.

The popular KATV anchorwoman, who had a small part in the new Bush biopic "W," was in critical but stable condition Tuesday after a severe beating in her home. Investigators aren't sure whether she was the random victim of a home invasion or a target because of her high-profile job.
"(It) is possible that it is something other than robbery," police spokeswoman Cassandra Davis said. "Our detectives are talking with co-workers because she was a public figure, because she was on the news, in the media."
Pressly, 26, was found Monday a half-hour before she was due on the set of "Daybreak," a morning mix of news and features on Little Rock's ABC affiliate. Her mother discovered the anchorwoman battered and bloodied after she didn't answer a wake-up call.
Pressly was in her bed, unresponsive and bleeding from her head. Davis described the injuries as "severe wounds" and said Pressly had been stabbed. KATV, citing investigators, said her injuries were from blunt force trauma to the head and upper body.
Pressly's purse was missing, and police said she may have been beaten during a robbery, though there was no sign of forced entry into her home. Asked whether Pressly may have been targeted because of her job, Davis said officers were talking to station employees to determine whether Pressly "has had any problems." Davis would not discuss specifics.

Awful, awful story. Now for a small threadjack: I read about Huisentruit on this thread (hadn't heard of her before) and wikipedia'd her. It linked to this website, which for some reason really creeped me out.

What's really creepy is that there's a guestbook on that page. And a female on-air person told me about some of the e-mail she would receive; made my skin crawl.

Really hope this woman pulls through. Sounds like a terrible situation.
And did anyone else notice the tagline on the station's talent bio pages: "All email to talent is screened before delivery."
Wonder if they'd had some wack-job emails recently.....

Prayers go out to Anne and her family and friends. Terrible, terrible situation and I hope justice is served on the scumbag or scumbags responsible.

Someone thought they were beating on Coulter?

Re: TV anchor attacked, in critical but stable condition

In "W.", was she perhaps on a TV in the background of some scenes? I don't recall that off-hand, but it would seem to make sense as a little dig by Stone that the current administration had Fox News on all the time.
