Being separated from his wife is personal and not something I'd judge someone for. The rest is ok
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.

Makes me wonder what they'll write about Trump when he passes.
"A leader beloved by all..."
Ken is really killing with that coverage here. Good job.
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.
He's from corporate so he's not really part of our family.... And divorced so he's not really part of his family
Exactly, that's not a crime, nor is it immoral. Why mix it with the real shit?
because the media is constantly harping on how this guy was a husband with kids as if that makes his death inexcusable. if even his family was sick of his shit it kinda puts that narrative to bed.
Oh, that makes sense then. Thanks.
Context. Otherwise we are dichtomous animals. Wisdom requires context logic does not.
Fake news loved top tell he is married with kid... this dude don't live with his wife...
