Yes, it's an obituary, thanks for pointing that out, & yes we do have these in the UK. However, it doesn't seem to be written by the family though, as the family is referred to in the 3rd person so to speak, "A statement issued by the family declared that...". I don't know who wrote it or rewrote it based on any details that the family may or may not have provided (I don't like to assume), & while that particular paper may or may not be considered MSM, it certainly is displaying the MSM attitude revealed by my meme. You are what you eat, & this is true figuratively as well. So many people fall into thinking instep with this kind of manipulative polemic after 'ingesting' it, & I find it extraordinarily vile that the author of this piece piggybacks opinions on the death & suffering of a human being & his family & friends. As you correctly said, it's an 'obituary', not an op-ed.
Meanwhile...

The art of being MSG without being the MSG. BTW, I'd like to reassure the members of this board that obituaries and 'obituaries' in the UK are also written in the third person, just like in the US. Even if they're written by bereaved widows who have every right to say what they want at a time like this. To criticize them for doing so just to push one's own agenda is what comes across as vile to me.
Meanwhile, I'll leave it to someone else to unpick why calling for mail-in voting is supposed to be hypocritical. I mean, it's not like funerals are supposed to be exceptional occasions, is it? Or that even more people attend voting booths and would all benefit from postal voting?

Let me take a swing at this. This is one of those false dichotomy fallacies. Just because Ye is having a meltdown doesn't mean that's the reason MSG isn't going after paedophiles in government, the media and Wall Street. It may be because they haven't been proven in court yet. Unless the media are supposed to investigate and prosecute them by themselves. Or hire a Qanon correspondent.

According to what's reported below, Stacey Nagy, the wife of the deceased, confirms she wrote the published obituary.
As for the poster, I wouldn't call it hypocrisy that you can't tell the difference between a few hundred people, all seemingly wearing masks, attending the funeral of a great civil rights activist, and an ENTIRE NATION of over 150 million people (edit (active voters), the vast majority being forced to vote in crowded conditions during a pandemic. But I guess I don't see things through a prism of MSM hatred.

Please explain to me what is political about that obit. Blaming a politician for something does not necessarily make the statement political.

So a user mistakes an obituary as a mainstream media hit piece, and after being corrected, re-posts it as a political hit piece.
It was explained. But since he's openly admitted through his signature that he will not reply/or put you on his ignore list without warning, chances are it's been removed from his echo chamber.

Like I said I doubt that tweet is representative of much of anything, let alone Twitter leftism. She ain't gonna do much influencing without an account.

Do you know what I'm psyched about? Having to be around a bunch of 20-something-year-olds who all live in Wisconsin in two weeks. I told my boss I want a Haz-Mat suit.
