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 lets all look out for one another, The Post Guild wrote.
What did his “husband” have to say?
Well. It’s a start.
I read he was a guy who chased disaster stories.
Kind of a peculiar obsession.
However, that’s what made Geraldo a billionaire.
The Washington Post showed its usual transparency and honesty by fully explaining the circumstances of his death....oops.....

Maybe the Clintons are changing their strategy. Instead of making their Arkancides look like suicides they now make them look like coronavirus deaths.
I was going to answer
“A good start”
but I like yours better.
Drug overdose!!
To think I almost became an Otis Elevator mechanic!
How many of those were intubated while still breathing? You can't put people on a ventilator if they are breathing on their own, they have to be sedated properly, then stop conscious breathing, then intubated carefully.
In NYC there is an 80% death rate on ventilators compared to 40-50% normally.
Patience my friends the real story will come out this week, it always does
Were better than that.

No we are not,
this is not time to play by the Marquis of Queensberry rules.
Dirty fighting rules!
Q: What do you call a dead WaPo reporter?
______________
A good start?
He wouldn't get a paycheck from the WP if he WASN'T an anti-Trumper. Journalists coming out of schools, these days, would make Stalin seem a moderate. Hatred of the Constitution is on the third page of the WP style manual.
They are the Mouth of the Enemy. They lie, about EVERYTHING, if it can possibly be used to damage the Constitution and this country.
The man is dead. I don’t think you have anything to fear from him now.
So you can jump off your chair and put your skirt back around your knees.
Uhgg. A lot of ups and downs in that business.
