At newspapers, obituaries are typically written in advance.
The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, Internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony.
It was garbage. It stood in stark contrast to the insightful and warm-hearted tweets that overwhelmingly were the consensus on Twitter, from wildly different parts of the Internet spectrum.

I wouldn't know. I don't read it, and no self-respecting fish would allow itself to be wrapped in it.
RIP, Lucianne.

Our leftie paper Portland Press Herald here in Main, published that disgusting and biased article on our Lucianne. I detest the paper and I read it online only for local news and comics, the rest is garbage. There are articles like this daily and the vitriol is worse with Trump. I posted yesterday how much I enjoyed this website for its diversity in articles and responses. We’ll miss Miss Lucianne.

Trying to recall when L.com launched. This site has been my first read since before Dubya was president. I’ve always loved the format. I remember the “mouse reporters’ and the acronym we coined here for PIAPS. If any of you have a shirt, hat or cap for Lucianne.com; that was from us. I remember her radio program with Sid that was broadcast for a short while. She made Drudge Report a thing with the blue dress story. We used to email on occasion. She was the one and only lucianne@aol.com. She was a great lady who fought for truth in journalism and loved her country. I will be forever grateful having a very small part in her story.

Luciannen was able to report when good people did bad things or bad people did good things, a quality in journalism not seen since Horace Greeley suggested, go west young men! go west.

I don't read it. But if I did and we still had a pet bird cage at home, using the WaPo's front page as bottom material would be fitting.

Typical WaPost reporting.
Have been checking a number of other news sites, and reading their Obitiuary of our most beloved Lucianne...It is amazing that THIS site, Lucianne.com, is rarely mentioned in the majority of them that I have seen....They certainly do not want it to be known that there is a great conservative site such as this one ....The news media is our biggest enemy!

Bezos bought WaPo so they couldn't write about Amazon. WaPo sold itself to Amazon, because they have no real subscribers. Lucianne did well in life without them.

We have loved Lucianne and this site since the Bill Clinton days when she stood up to the lying liberal media. Lucianne in those days would personally send thank you notes to her donors. What a lady!
This site, Lucianne.com, is the first place in the morning I go to, to see what's going on in the world. Years ago, it used to be Lucianne and Drudge, but Drudge went dark and we left. Thank you Lucianne for being consistent and faithful for all these years. That's why we love you. God bless your family. May those who continue this website have the same Spirit you had.

Any time a conservative is dissed by the lefty media, the insult should be worn as a badge of honor, imo. The fact that the memory of our beloved Miss Lucianne has been sullied by the WaPo is a clear sign of just how great an impact she had--and will continue to have--on the execrable MSM. What a fitting tribute!

The WaPo used to be a left-leaning but informative newspaper. Since 2016, it has become pure and simple propaganda for the Democratic Party, openly abandoning the bedrock journalistic principle of objectivity. Even worse than the NYT. WaPo ran a piece by a black female columnist Thursday on the cancelation of Kanye West that included in the headline: "When a white man gets in trouble, call me," implying that only blacks get canceled. That, my friends, is literally delusional and not worthy of publication.
All of that said, I honestly didn't think their Lucianne obit was all the bad. It mostly relied on her own words. Obviously, it paled in comparison to the beautiful tribute here yesterday from her friend John Podhoretz, but what would you expect from a left-wing newspaper?

Straight from the pen of Saul Alinsky: Rule 5: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
It would appear "out of character" if wasn't in The Rag Post.

.I believe God created a Pantheon of American Patriotism in Heaven. And I believe three people are in it.
Ronald Reagan, for sustaining and growing patriotism through his example and actions.
Rush Limbaugh, for the beautiful rhetoric he fashioned on the subject of patriotism
Lucianne Goldberg, for her prescience in understanding and harnessing the power of the internet
And one more thing - if Lucianne had not talked with, and encouraged Linda Tripp about taping her conversations with Monica Lewinsky, and encouraged the preservation of the blue dress, I believe Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky would have preceded Seth Rich as 'victims of a late night robbery in D.C.' Lucianne saved their lives.
It took me a few yars to gain posting privileges on the site, and it has become part of my retirement to read every article, every day, sometimes posting too much or too many times.
I also have revealed more about my family than most of you people do, but I consider you my family.
And Lucianne did that for me. I have shed some tears over her death, as I did with Rush and President Reagan, but I'm sure Lucianne is busy tidying up her new environment, and would say my tears should stop.

The left will never forgive Lucianne for advising Linda Tripp to record her phone calls with Monica Lewinsky. That advice changed the course of history and their golden boy will forever be remembered for diddling a girl his daughter’s age in the Oval Office bathroom.

Lucianne was a gracious woman to me, in that among probably thousands of emails she received, she confirmed to me that she had a hand in brokering and deal with Bobby Kennedy to have Lyndon Johnson who bitterly came in second at the 1960 Democrat National Convention to have LBJ on the ticket to bring in Texas which was critical.
JFK would have preferred his friend and fellow Senator from Florida George Smathers, but she helped to create that ticket.
Rest in Peace, Lucianne. You played pivotal roles in history like few others!

No one is surprised by this. Leftists are horrible people. This left-handed hit piece more than anything else is why good people recoil in their presence. Their evil runs deep and never fails to show itself at the most inappropriate times. I expected they could not resist one last opportunity to show their contempt for Ms.Goldberg because she had the audacity to understand the significance of Linda Tripp’s interaction with Monica Lewinsky and did something about it. God bless her. She did the country a great service and lived to tell about it which was an extraordinary accomplishment considering the fate of the majority of people who exposed this couple for who and what they are. Thank you for everything Lucianne.

Years ago I made a donation to our site and received a short email from Miss Lucianne. She was amused that I live in a town called Liberal. I replied that you couldn’t fine a more conservative place anywhere than my hometown of Liberal. And yes, it is amusing.
I love this place. Been here since the 90s and have seen a lot of wonderful conservatives come and go.

As slimy and disgusting as Bezos post is they described an Islamic American killing mass murdering troglodyte terrorist as a “renowned religious cleric”. WaPo is a disgusting US hating lying rag of a “newspaper”.

This forum, passing the test of time, shows without any doubt that Lucianne’s legacy is founded in patriotism and a relentless pursuit of the truth. This is the opposite of the mission of the WaPoo. Thank you, dear Lucianne, for your vision, wisdom, and most of all, your Patriotism…

I won't comment on an article I will not read. I have an important question though: Will there be a Weekend Roundtable in heaven? Along with this marvelous news gathering site, that was another great invention of Lucianne's. A certain other poster and myself used to race to see who could post first on that weekend hideaway. Remember when it would go to 3 or 4 pages?

Consider the source. If that bunch of illiterate goons had to stand on their own without injections of cash to cover their pitiful sales they would have gone bankrupt years ago and if the democrat party did not need a propaganda arm to cover their incompetence and crimes, they would be competing with the New York Times for space at the bottom of the dung heap that passes for journalism today.

I am still grieving today and will... for Reagan, Limbaugh, and now dear Lucianne... though I know they (especially) would say, "Soldier up and keep up your support for Good against Evil in our world." It has never been the lying Left, but always Conservatives who were "for the children, the workers, equal rights, the elderly, the incapacitated.

Having been processing our dear Lucianne's death over the past days, I have been quiet but enjoyed reading so many wonderful comments on here. I knew it was coming sooner rather than later but it still seems unreal. To say she is missed is an understatement but knowing she is with our loving God and knowing He greeted her as a good and faithful servant is joy.
Memory Eternal dear lady. Those of us who have been here for a long long time rejoice in having been a part of your "family." Miss Lucianne, you made a difference. Say "Hi" to Rush for us!
As for WaPo, the less said, the better.

She has a legacy and a life to be proud of. I can't imagine anyone connected with the Washington Post taking pride in anything honorable, decent or true. All of them seem like demonic liars, if you go by their record. At the end of any brief time thinking about those people, I'm left with the question, 'who raised you?'

They tried to paint her as a phony for exposing the corruption in the mainstream media. What's a bigger lie than that?
