[–] frongt@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 month ago (2 children) Objection, hearsay. This is gossip-grade rumouring. When a journalist does some actual verification reporting, then it'll be news. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* I listened to the actual interview he did with Katie Couric. It's not a failure of reporting, nor hearsay. Gov. Beshear was reporting actual calls his office has received indicating McConnell has likely died, while personally maintaining that the truth is not yet known to him. He did so within the context of personally not ever having received anything from either Mitch McConnell or McConnell's staff beyond the one photograph and the press release the public got, despite being the governor of Kentucky and technically McConnell's boss. Honestly, the gov was working overtime to be understanding, and was very careful with his words, but even so he's clearly had enough.
