Can we stop calling Jack Kennedys diagnosis "grim"?

Question

its really gettin on my nerves but I know how yahoo news loves to dwell on the grim & depressing aspects of life

Answer 1

yes - but he has been dead for awhile - so the diagnosis for him is a bit grim

Answer 2

It is not just Yahoo that likes to "dwell", but this is big news...history in the making; believe it or not. The Kennedys are very prominent people; always in the news for generations. Why stop now?

By the way it is "Ted" Kennedy that has the brain tumor.

Jack is already dead.

Answer 3

That is the media in general.  Pleasant and happy news doesn't sell.  I wish the old jerk ought to go ahead and retire and live out the remainder of his days without s******g up the country any worse than he already has.

Answer 4

First of all, I think you mean Ted Kennedy and not his dead brother, Jack.

Secondly, I think you mean prognosis and not diagnosis.  

The diagnosis was malignant glioma in the left parietal lobe, a part of the brain that helps govern sensation, movement and language.

The prognosis published today in the Springfield Republican was that medical experts gave Kennedy no more than three years -- and perhaps far less -- to live.

Answer 5

who is jack- it is ted.

Answer 6

yea. maybe they should let it go. after all, jack kennedy is dead. been dead for what? 45 years?

Answer 7

Its grim that you can't even get the name right.
