Former president Jimmy Carter had to announce some tragic news a few days ago: the beloved peacemaker and renowned humanitarian has liver cancer.

It is beyond comprehension how an outlet that even pretends to call itself “news” can endorse such offensive sentiments.

The work he’s done has helped thousands of people across the world, and he deserves so much more than to be slandered by hateful pundits.
