FUCK THE TROOPS ARTICLE as "satirical"
Under the "Fuck The Troops" article mention, I took out the word "satirical." This clearly wasn't written as satire and doesn't fit any of the necessary elements of satire. In fact, it seems to me that the use of the word satirical is a way to avoid scrutiny of the article.

When running for office in NY in 2011 and asked about his feelings on the current wars, he basically reiterated the feelings mentioned in Fuck The Troops about war for oil and kids dying for dishonest corporate shills. Thus, it's fairly clear he wasn't being satirical at all, but rather stating his honestly held beliefs. 50.30.154.163 (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Death
The publisher of The Beast announced that Murphy passed away on July, 17. Because he's been keeping a low profile for the past few years, his death is not newsworthy.

Can I rely on social media postings of his former employer and co-workers as written evidence of his passing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:1010:C0A2:ADA9:C59C:F553:AF28 (talk) 00:07, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
