Is MSNBC Playing The Sympathy Act???

[bdamomma]

Just asking, or I will just turn to something else.

[msongs]

1. this story is worth about 10 minutes an hour til something serious happens but no,

msnbc is on 24/7 speculation while ignoring other real news

4. The president being hospitalized is a HUGE story

Not sure why you think it isn’t.

[bdamomma]

7. Okay he

is hospitalized but I do NOT trust this POS at all. Could this be for sympathy votes???

[musicblind]

9. I agree. The President of the United States being hospitalized for days

is major news, regardless of party.

For good or bad, his fate will determine our fate — at least, to an extent.

This could impact everything from the upcoming election to national security.

2. What sympathy act is that?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Context of which bit of news? What Act?

[bdamomma]

12. "the word

"act" could have been the incorrect word chosen. I meant is the media feeling sorry for this cretin.

5. I guess they think the president..

hospitalized with a deadly virus during a pandemic is a big deal. Strange, because Donald doesn't think the pandemic is a big deal at all.

6. They sure aren't doing that on CNN

Hayes sucks anyway.

[JI7]

8. huh ?

[Silent3]

10. Other than the perfunctory, polite, "we all hope he gets better"...

...I don't see that at all.

Sincere or not, that is the proper and professional way to cover this story.

Here on DU we're much more free to engage in openly expressing what we personally think about Trump than news professionals.

11. Did he

abide by what the health officials said about this pandemic, NO, did he help medical health professionals about PPE, NO, did he level with the American people about the virus back in January NO, did he put out a mandatory mask wearing and social distancing NO, does he show any empathy for those 203,000+ dead Americans NO.....etc.

If it was any other President I would give him my well wishes but not this so called pResident. Sorry but not sorry.

[Silent3]

13. I certainly don't wish Trump well myself either

But what do you expect from a professional news broadcast? Do you expect them to express your anger at Trump, deserved as it might be, or else that's "Playing The Sympathy Act"?

14. Well the

contracting of the virus showed no discrimination everyone be it rich, poor, gender,
or race
is at risk. The virus is just looking for hosts, infecting people like a vicious circle.
