“Seriously?
You haven’t noticed that odor?
I don’t know about you,

Cokie Roberts
Journalist, author, mouthpiece?
December 27, 1943 – September 17, 2019.
Aged 75 years.

Most recognized for: Ms. Roberts was a political and public affairs news correspondent for 40+ years and won multiple awards for excellence in journalism. However, she was born into a family steeped in the brine of politics… with congressional parents and an older brother in charge of one of the world’s most powerful lobbyist law firms. Examples of odd coincidences between her reporting and what her brother’s firm was spinning to the world made for interesting reading… until they were removed from Wikipedia a few hours ago.
