If you've been blogging and following blogs for awhile you probably know the power of blogs. During the last few years, the political blogger has had a powerful impact in both the blogging world as well as the news media.
The Diabetic community expressed concern recently over a Hannah Montana depiction of diabetes. It was to be the 3rd season opener, I say 'was' because it didn't debut, it was put off by Disney due to concern over its content.
Diabetes is frequently depicted incorrectly by script writers with little or no knowledge of how diabetes actually presents itself in real life. A well known inaccurate movie is Steel Magnolias. In fact, the way a diabetic is presented in the movie makes me cringe, I'm not alone.
Disney received many complaints about the inaccuracy of the Hannah Montana episode and they made a brave decision to pull the episode based on the complaints. Now they need to make another brave decision and rewrite it, reshoot it and show it.
