What

a shame. Still, of him it can also be said that he lived.

Coverage of Tunis and Egypt in the US has been abominable, as usual.
Only Fox News has given it any air time at all. The other major
networks are more interested in doing news stories about the lives of
their talking heads, how much they get paid, etc. Have any of them
actually sent correspondents to the area?
