HERE ARE THE FIRST LINES OF THE STORY:
The first lines of the story read, âBarbara Bush, the witty, gregarious matriarch of a political dynasty that propelled two of its members to the White House and dominated Republican politics for decades, has died after a series of recent hospitalizations. She was 92. A Bush family spokesman said Bush passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by loved ones.â
first of all, its not a direct quote. It's a paraphrasing of a simple communication.
second, here is the quote they've already received:
"She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving,â the statement from the office of George H. W. Bush, who was president from 1989-1993, read.
so you see, if they get a status update that she croaks in bed, it will be exactly that. A spokesperson said that she died peacefully in her home, surrounded by loved ones. If anything changes, like godzilla stomps on her instead, then they can change it. BUT ODDS ARE SHES GOING TO PASS PEACEFULLY AT HOME SURROUNDED BY LOVED ONES SO THAT IS THE PREPARED STORY WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STANDARD FARE PREPARATION IN JOURNALISM.
Do you now understand the relevance of my previous post in this thread?
