Washington Post Reporter Found Dead In Apartment
Daily Caller ^ | April 10, 2020 | Shelby Talcott

Posted on 04/10/2020 6:52:14 PM PDT by Morgana

Washington Post reporter Darran Simon was found dead Thursday in his apartment, according to a memo sent to staffers.

The cause of death has not been announced. Simon covered government and politics at WaPo, according to a Jan. 30 announcement from WaPo. Simon previously worked as a senior news writer at CNN, the announcement noted.

“We are deeply saddened to report that yesterday, Darran Simon was found dead in his apartment,” the memo from Tracy Grant, WaPo’s managing editor for staff development and standards, reads according to the Washingtonian.

“Our sympathy goes out to Darran’s family; we will share information about how best to express your condolences shortly.”

The Post Guild sent out an email as well with the National Suicide Hotline number and notes on how to approach needing “time to process” with bosses, the Washingtonian reported.

“This is a difficult time for all of us — made more difficult with the loss of a dear colleague. Now more than ever, reach out to each other. And let’s all look out for one another,” The Post Guild wrote.

43. He’s on the coronavirus beat. I suspect he got infected and died:

I was gonna say that this would be a perfect time for the Clinton Mafia goons to do a full sweep of all of the remaining Clinton enemies. Just blame it on the virus.

Conservatives should refrain from taking pleasure in the death of a person just because they do not share our political beliefs. It lowers conservatives to that of the leftist we hold ourselves above.

We’re better than that.

Now just why would you say that? Have people stopped dying from the causes that people have been dying from for hundreds of years because of coronavirus?

[Now just why would you say that? Have people stopped dying from the causes that people have been dying from for hundreds of years because of coronavirus? ]


Because reporters covering a given subject presumably have to meet with the people dealing with the subject matter. In the case of this pandemic, that presumably means doctors and other medical personnel as well as politicians who have to do a fair amount of public-facing work, thereby creating a high risk of infection.

What did he report on before that?

We need to know what stories he has previously worked on to see if he stepped on anyones' toes.

"We’re better than that."

This kind of surreal morality is a luxury we can no longer afford.
Explain this to an Antifa when he is beating you to death for not condemning white privilege.
Is Covid-19 Trump's fault? According to the Left, it is.
Is Covid-19 racist? According to the Left, it is.
Should all Republicans die of Covid-19? According to the Left, yes.

Insanity does not respect a higher intellectual attitude.

Are you kidding? Are you paying attention to this scam / excercise in absolute government power?

Surely you're kidding.

Is this still Free Republic?
