'They' refers to the media. I guess I was wrong to assume they would give that assertion as much scrutiny as they would something Bush said. I used to think the gods in the media were smart enough to know the difference between heart palpitations and a heart attack. But I don't disagree with the doctor's lack of confidence in the media's intelligence, which led him to give them a term they would understand ('heart attack') instead of one they may have problems with ('heart palpitations'). I, too, would count the syllables in a word before using it to describe something to the media.
