So was he doing an article on the Clintons?

That or he said, "You know, President Trump really isn't so ba--" and they smothered him.

I guess any crack about meeting his deadline would be just too insensitive.

Yeah. Too soon. Maybe later. This afternoon.

Considering all the hallucinagenic article’s that come from the Washington Post he may well have overdosed from his own work!

Let me guess. He broadcast the fact that he was doing a story on some important people.

Reporter? I thought the new and more accurate term is “narrative crafter”.

Reminds me of a joke:

What do you call a bus load of lawyers going off a cliff?

A start.

They say he was found clutching a note that said “Donald Trump Did It”.

This will be blamed on the president for his attacks on the fake news.

It's not that the president attacked the media. It's that the president went to his apartment and personally shot him to death. That will be the story. Yeah, that works!

You know what they say about finding a dead lawyer ... “A good start.”

Sad, RIP. To be so young and take one’s life is especially bad.

Are they going to code this as a Covid-29 death?

With an underlying issue of strangulation

"Sad, RIP. To be so young and take one’s life is especially bad."

IF he took his life it just doubles the tragic nature of this death. With a disease running rampart taking innocent lives, young and old, it seems horrific to voluntarily throw away one's life so young. Wonder what kind of demons drove this young man to do so.

Off hand i wonder if he was a germophobe. With news blaring on every channel and him being in the business, one may think it drove him over the edge.

The character from "The Big Bang' Sheldon Cooper, comes to mind.
