I’m guessing that his “priors”, i.e. previous colon cancer diagnostics...might have made him ineligible for life insurance...hence, his late sad try to make money for his family.

Exactly.

To the few classless nay-sayers on this thread, I say either contribute or don't but keep your trap shut or risk appearing to a be a complete heartless moron.

I don’t know whether the dissenters on this thread intended to be heartless OR “classless morons”, but I believe they just raised an obvious question: One would think that someone hosting Fox News Sunday for several years, and who held many other very high ranking positions in the media, would be in fairly good shape financially. Yes, he did take a pay cut to work for the government, but that was for only 17 months out of a likely 30 year work history.

Many of you have mentioned circumstances of which I was not aware, such as the house fire, the insurability re: cancer, etc. Maybe there are issues, and thanks for bringing them to our attention. And of course people may want to donate regardless of need.

But I honestly don’t think the dissenters here had any malice when posing these questions.
