I'm glad she was so committed to cause that she gave her life for it.

She died, of course. Stupidly of that magnitude sucks the life right outta ya.

Just think of all the money she saved the taxpayers!

...and yet saying Paul Ryan's plan to end Medicare will do just that is the pants on fire lie of the year.

... she fixed the cable?

Well, it really doesn't sound like anyone of value was lost.

I'm not a fan of Fox by any means, but I can't really blame them for someone's death. We all bring our own baggage to the media we consume, and it effects all of us a little differently. Fox is no more at fault for this woman's death than Doom is responsible for Columbine.

For example, if she was really that out of it and paranoid, they could have restrained her as being not lucid enough to make her own decisions and treated her on the daughters' orders. We also don't know (from this link) that treatment could have even saved her or what exactly she died from.

Also, the link keeps referencing the fact that she owned and ran a company as evidence that she wasn't some idiot. Have you met many CEOs? Many of them are farking retards. This post 1) doesn't tell us enough and 2) originated on Facebook, so you'll have to pardon me being skeptical that it's real.

/Gods, I'm posting in a forum defending Fox news. Where did I go wrong in my life?

Well, at the very least a woman named Hallie Krauss did die and had a daughter named Tracy and described herself as a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. So even thought his story appears to be true, I'm still willing to say Fox killed an old lady. It sounds like she was out of her gourd. If it wasn't Fox and Obamacare, it would have been aliens or bigfoot or Jesus-will-save-me.

Wow, just wow.

The lack of people on ignore, in deep orange or in black in this thread is interesting. No trolls and no walking Fox News talking points yet. Guess they don't have a clue how to spin this.

I don't there's anything here to 'spin'. sounds like the old woman made a very poor decision based on lies and propaganda and it killed her. it might have been an isolated incident, could have been something that happens more often than we know. But really - so what? I'm sure it's devastating for someone to lose a parent or grandparent to dumb decisions they've made (or are currently making)...but its their choice to make.

Pretty much.

But you do sense somebody is trying to let a lawyer convince them to take this to court, somewhere.

If I was her son, I'd sue the fark out of Fox News. They killed her.

skinnycatullus: We used to be able to have people like this committed for their own safety. Now they control a whole political party. If she'd survived, she would probably be on someone's VP shortlist.

Hmm. This lady or Biden...?

Tough call.

I was going to guess that she was hit by a bus while she was wearing dirty underwear and caused embarrassment for her entire family, but no, you guys had to spoil it by talking about it in the first 50 posts.
