Yesterday, CNN Analyst Claimed Hillary Health Concerns ‘Sexist.’ Today, CNN Doctor Questions Trump’s Health

So which is it CNN? Is it legitimate, or is it sexist?

Yesterday, The Hill reported the following:

New CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers says questioning Hillary Clinton‘s health has “an element of sexism to it.”

Powers, a former Democratic strategist who just came to CNN following a long stint as a Fox News contributor, told “New Day” co-host Alisyn Camerota that there’s nothing to indicate the Democratic presidential nominee is not in good health. 

“Honestly, I think there’s an element of sexism to this,” Powers said. “The way that they’ve talked about her, you know, the way you watch Drudge [Report] posting things about granny and grandma. 

Now today, we see CNN’s resident doctor, Sanjay Gupta, questioning Trump’s health. I suppose it’s ok because he’s a man.

Also from The Hill:

CNN’s Sanjay Gupta is casting doubt Donald Trump‘s health, even asking whether the GOP presidential nominee is at risk of heart disease.

“I don’t even know what to make of this letter,” Gupta told CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield on Tuesday, referring to a letter from Dr. Harold Bornstein, who examined Trump last December. “Whether you are a doctor or not, that degree of hyperbole and these words being used is very unusual. People don’t write like that. ‘Strength and stamina are extraordinary.’ What does that mean, exactly?”

During Bill Clinton‘s time as president, Gupta served as a healthcare adviser to Hillary Clinton, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2016 election.

On Wednesday, the neurosurgeon went even further in questioning Trump’s health during an appearance on CNN’s morning program, “New Day.”

“Here you have a lot of language with not a lot of data to back it up,” he told host Chris Cuomo while analyzing Bornstein’s letter. “They say he’s on a statin. What’s his cholesterol? You’ve indicated in some way that he has some these types of medicines he’s taking — for what, exactly? Does he have a risk of heart disease?”

Gupta did not voice his concerns on CNN after the Bornstein letter was released by the Trump campaign late last year.  Gupta has turned his focus to Trump, however, after the billionaire and his surrogates have questioned Hillary Clinton’s health.

In a related item, a CNN.com story by political reporter Gregory Krieg on Wednesday concludes in a headline that “Clinton’s health is fine” and asks “but what about Trump?”

I published a lengthy thought piece just yesterday highlighting the absurdity of the above-mentioned piece by Gregory Krieg. Here it is in case you missed it: Questioning Hillary’s Health is Not Conspiracy Theory.

They don’t call it the Clinton News Network for nothing.

In Liberty,
Michael Krieger

  1. American journalism is collapsing before our eyes

    Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.

    The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.

    The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

    The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

    Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.

    By torching its remaining credibility in service of Clinton, the mainstream media’s reputations will likely never recover, nor will the standards. No future producer, editor, reporter or anchor can be expected to meet a test of fairness when that standard has been trashed in such willful and blatant fashion.

  2. CNN is an utter disgrace. Even the BBC is fair in comparison. And don’t talk to me about Amanpour, that woman is an affront to journalism.

  3. Sanjay Gupta lives here in Atlanta. He has an extremely high opinion of himself and he’s a classic example of someone who practices what I call “High profile charity”, and CNN provides the perfect high profile vehicle for him to show the world just how charitable he is.

    Conversely, he is a big proponent of medical marijuana and legalization and has done a good bit to further that cause.

    With that being said, this story only serves to highlight his willingness to whore himself out for the Democrats, and in so doing, damage his cred.

    It’s obvious by the way they’re reacting that the left leaning media knows that something is really wrong with Clinton’s health. That’s probably because it’s very obvious that something really is wrong with her health.

    Funny how that works.
