    Normally, I’d say it’s poor taste to speak ill of the dead. Normally.

    That’s not what the motivation is here. The media are

    • aware that the family can bury them
    • afraid to lose their jobs
    • beholden to their masters shareholders (or their Rupert Murdochs)
    • trying to make this go away
    • not on the side of the American people

      For media companies it’s not usually shareholders that call the shots, it’s one obscenely rich old guy, like Rupert Murdoch.
