Journalistic skepticism isn't magically exempt when someone dies

Within hours of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s death by a gunman in Midtown Manhattan, the major media went full North Korea, lavishing praise on the sainted business leader. The Washington Post reported that the “smart and affable” Thompson had a “focus on keeping premiums low,” citing an unnamed company staffer who we’re to believe “spoke on condition of anonymity to protect their job.”

        As far as I can tell. Earnest had finally began handing some things off as something or things in his life was not doing well but I have no details. Seems like he had not transfered enough to get by without him or something though as kbin.social gives 500’s and I could not find any other kbins that work. mbin is the fork and that is what I moved to. it had been forked actually because he would not let people work on kbin.
