Was, for most of her career, the consummate journalist. RIP

Might want to look up the definition of ‘consummate’ and ‘journalist’ and compare that to her actual actions. She was a democrat hack, all the way back to the Reagan era. Essentially the poster child for what passes for journalism today.

Had she been promoted as a socialist democrat pundit, she would be worthy of respect, but she was portrayed as a journalist.

She was a straight shooter, even if you didn’t like what she had to say.

Agreed. She didn't beat around the bush pushing the DNC narrative.

Her entire existence was a lie. She was a democrat operative, not a journalist. No doubt that makes her a hero to the socialist left, but in reality she was just an actor on the leftist stage, lying to the public as they implemented their agenda to destroy this country. Reality is brutal sometimes.

Everyone? How about leftists? Those on the right have their reputations destroyed for generations after their deaths.

No she wasn't...she tried to push an agenda and so even if she was plain spoken, she was still masquerading around as a journalist which implies wielding a cloak of impartiality. That is being dishonest and taking advantage of what many real journalist had worked to garner a reputation of, for being impartial.

Bingo.

She, like 99% of other "journalists" today was merely a foot soldier in the propaganda army of the liberal cause.

She might've been a lovely human being, but let's not mince words about the fact that she wasn't interested in reporting the news so much as she was influencing the narrative.

People like to say this about leftists. If they were so smart, the wouldn’t espouse a political philosophy that has brought hundreds of millions of murders by government, and eventual collapse, every time it’s implemented.


So your hypothesis is that no leftist can be smart.

That says all we need to know about you, moron.

One less propagandist. Sorry, but that's just the cold truth. Condolences to the family, but professionally we need a whole lot fewer of those like her.

Even if she and her ilk were successful in getting the people to implement their philosophy, when the people throw off that yoke, it will be the blood of them and their progeny fertilizing the tree of Liberty. Brilliant, right?

Smart? Maybe they just have a different agenda.
They are either liars, in it for the money and power, or weak human beings who will not buck the powerful people.
She was no Ronaldous Maximus nor Donald Trump.
