Speaking Ill of the Dead

Faux News has done it again. They've displayed their deep, not-so-hidden resentment for anyone with a brain that doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator like they do. The following report is an obituary, if you can believe it, for a human being who deserves the minimum respect a human being is due--that is, to not speak ill of them after their passing. But as always, courtesy and social mores are out the window when it comes to Faux news. Instead of reporting on Kurt Vonnegut's death in their true, fair and balanced manner, they portray the author as a failed writer, failed actor, and a person who failed at suicide. Summary: Kurt Vonnegut is a failure. By whose standards? Faux news? The insinuation in and of itself is absurd. What they don't like about him is that they KNOW he was talking about them and their ilk before half of them were born. He exposes their idiocy, their greed, and most of all, their banal mediocrity. What do they go and do with Vonnegut's obituary? They prove him right.
