Oops; you caught me. I didn’t follow the link.
The way it sounds to me is that Kelly crashed and killed himself because he’d been seriously injured. I.e.: he thought he was dying anyway (and may well have been right), so he merely took control of the process and sped it up a little.
No problem.
The point of the story is to show the blatant partisanship of America’s Morning News.
I am thinking of recording a segment every morning and pointing out the partisanship. There is a blatant example almost every day.
