Did you notice that someone moved this to Chat and deleted all the topics. I guess that someone really does not like Art Bell. They don’t even consider this to be news.
Last night #artbell was the #3 U.S. trending topic on twitter.
Today, Matt Drudge gave Art Bell's death a top spot on his page, and also posted a youtube link to the infamous Area 51 caller.
Art was a well-known Vietnam-era Air Force veteran who chartered a DC-8 to fly to Vietnam and rescue 130 Vietnamese orphans stranded in Saigon at war's end. He was unapologetically pro-life, an outspoken Second Amendment advocate, libertarian, and one of the most vocal Trump supporters on social media. He was also a FReeper, if only a lurker.
Even though he was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, he was a famously humble and private man. Though I would like to see this one thread about his death be allowed to stay on the main page, because it is news, I think he'd probably be amused about it being relegated to "chat".
RIP, Mr. Bell.
