In a related gripe, news organizations really need to be careful how they introduce non-death news pieces for people not generally in the news. NPR just did this:
Charles Gibson, 34-year veteran of ABC news, two-time host of Good Morning America and most recently anchor of World News...retired today.
Of course, up to the end there I assumed he'd died. That's happened to me a couple times recently. "Mel Brooks, who started his career as a writer on the Sid Caesar show and hit sitcoms and followed that up with a successful career making satirical movies today...received a Kennedy Center Honor."
