    They forgot to mention that his wife and he separated in 2018, keeping it secret for years. It was revealed after his death.

    Not that I think there’s anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it’d be a lie to paint him as a family man.

    I guess his criminal record for drunk driving also doesn’t fit the narrative.

      This example shows how media is your enemy…

      They spin the facta for the owner class, every single time

      And it works too. Well until this dead piece of shit… Something changed hopefully

      I’d urge you to reconsider this. Seperating from your partner does not invalidate you from being a ‘family man’ or a good parent. My parents divorced when I was a young age, and both of them remain committed to being attentive and involved parents (and grandparents).
