Fox News Obituary Trashes Kurt Vonnegut

More Fox News Bias at: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

The Fox News obituary of Kurt Vonnegut airing the day after his death seemed particularly harsh to me, but I may be especially sensitive because I'm a big Vonnegut fan. I've uploaded some clips from the Fox News obituary for you to see and decide for yourself.

FYI, I tracked down the origin of the ancient Greek admonition "Not to speak evil of the dead" to Diogenes Laertius quoting Chilon (pictured at the beginning of this video) quoting Aesop at: http://www.classicpersuasion.org/pw/diogenes/dlchilon.htm

The photo of Chilon itself comes from Nicolas at http://www.greecetaxi.gr and can be found at http://www.greecetaxi.gr/Philosophers/Gilon01.jpg

A longer version of the Fox News segment (without the introduction from Brut Hume) is currently available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDrqGoL4KBo

Yet when Jerry Falwell died (an evil man who preached murderous hatred) and Christopher Hitchens told the truth about him, Fox News came rushing to the defence of Falwell, making him out to be some kind of angel.
