The problem I have is the timing of the post. I think some immediacy of the subject could be lost in favor of respect for the man and his family. In other words I think the post is in poor manners and more deserving of a post on DU. The stunt is very funny displaying the media and their preparedness.

I also noticed how Fox News had virtually NOTHING BUT Gerald Ford coverage all night, all through the early morning, and even this morning. I was hoping they would take a break from Gerald Ford's death and replay Michelle Malkin sitting in for Bill "No Spin, Who's lookin' out for You?" O'Reilly, but it was not to be. I gave up around 4:15 AM and went to bed. Darn!!!!! Anyway, that omission of any mention of Fox in that article speaks volumes to the blatant arrogance of the "Old Boy's" Network, the established liberal, leftist media.
