Fox News Obituary Trashes Kurt Vonnegut

Description: 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 Finally, this video also qualifies as the latest addition to my YouTube playlist titled "Fox News Bias" at: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D Share with friends

Rsiragusa98 ::: Favorites If you look at the full obituary as well, they mention slaughterhouse five and Vonnegut's experience in Dresden. Fox News states that 10,000 people died in Dresden, which is off by 10 TIMES!!! 07-07-24 19:30:25 _____________________________________________________

jychilly ::: Favorites sounds to me like they mean "irreverent", not "irrelavant". If so, it's just further proof of their stupidity, as they proved with the rest of that so called obituary. Fox news = Illiterate troglodytes. 07-07-27 02:33:06 _____________________________________________________
HabsRule92Remy92 ::: Favorites I remember watching fox the night he died. They gave him 5 minutes saying "Kurt Vonnegut died today." I had no idea they bashed him the next day. I was too disgusted to watch Fox after they gave Anna Nicole something like 8 hours the entire day she died, and someone like Kurt literally 5 seconds. (Really now, like they know anything about literature. Do you think Bill'O' ever read a single book in his life?) 07-07-27 11:27:46 _____________________________________________________

Oyoveyno ::: Favorites How dare FOX News! They scrub Kurt Vonnegut's balls, let alone insult him like that! 07-07-28 01:35:43 _____________________________________________________
Oyoveyno ::: Favorites I'm sorry, I meant to say FOX News COULDN'T scrub Kurt Vonnegut's balls, let alone insult him as they did. But Kurt is awesome! 07-07-28 01:36:26 _____________________________________________________
brianpadraic ::: Favorites Damn shame. I loved Vonnegut and I had no idea they trashed him. Rupert Murdoch is a scum bag as is his family of misfits. They politicized a great writer who was actually original and entertaining. I laughed my ass off reading "Dead Eye Dick"! And it wasn't "political". Fox: False Obnoxious Xenophobes. 07-07-28 03:13:48 _____________________________________________________
