On Tuesday afternoon,
CNN reportedthat longtime Trump physician Harold Bornstein admitted that
the doctor’s note he signed and publicly released during the campaign — you know, the one where he said Trump’s “physical strength and stamina are extraordinary,
“ that he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” and whose blood work was, in professional medical parlance, “astonishingly excellent” — was a complete fabrication, and was in fact dictated by Trump himself.
As of midday Wednesday, Fox News has yet to address the subject on its website.
NPR and the Washington Post ran short stories based on CNN’s reporting. The New York Times
ran a short wire piece from Reuters on its website. The discrepancy between the coverage of Clinton’s health and Donald Trump’s by the country’s newspaper of record wasn’t lost on people.
