Gushing, and saccharine emotional overloading

In journalism, people die. They do not pass away or pass on or just pass. The dead do not ascend to somewhere above. More likely, dead people are toes up on the coroner’s table getting the final physical exam, and reporters are nice enough not to mention that. What I’m talking about is gush, or prattling over whatever subject lies before us. Gush is syrupy, usually unjustified positive overstatement, and the statements often go on and on, the facts lost in a thick, sugary soup of words.
