    Of course, until the media paints him as a “beloved father and husband.”

    It’s not judgment, just correcting the record.

      That makes sense. I’ve not followed the media portrayal, so I wasn’t aware of that context.

          Ken is really killing with that coverage here. Good job.

          Makes me wonder what they’ll write about Trump when he passes.

          “A leader beloved by all…”

      Beloved father may well still be true.

        In which case, “beloved” is not necessarily a qualifier for “husband”. That’s some clever word play. He’s a beloved father…also he’s a husband. Nothing really to say about the latter one. Just stating a fact.

          The Victorian era had a whole coded obituary system for this kind of thing, e.g. “he was generous with his affections and had a convivial spirit” aka a drunk who cheated on his wife constantly.
