NBC faces criticism for Clinton cough story

NBC News is facing harsh criticism from Hillary Clinton's campaign and her supporters for publishing an article on a coughing fit the Democratic presidential nominee experienced on Monday in Cleveland.

The five-paragraph story, "Hillary Clinton Fights Back Coughing Attack," noted that Clinton quickly turned the coughing issue into a dig at her GOP rival, Donald Trump.

Reporter Andrew Rafferty wrote:

"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."

The frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.

Clinton traveling press secretary, Nick Merrill, slammed the report on Twitter, writing to Rafferty, “get a life.”

Watch it NBC! We don't need your readers and viewers seeing that she is indeed an old, sick, worn-out ageing woman.

Communism does not allow any differing points of view to be published.

How is this NOT news? I mean if it were a one-time occurrence, maybe, but this has happened several times. The health of a presidential candidate is relevant.

Sounds like an invented story.

One lonely blogger-type guy got a very short notice about this put up on NBC's website, and another low-level blogger-type guy at slate put up an equally short notice condemning the first guy's piece.

Mission accomplished, lowly basement blogger-type guys, you've made the news.

The test: Imagine if this were Trump. How many thousands of time would his have been played on the news? How many jokes would “comedy news” programs have made about it?

And NBC will slink back with their tail between their legs like a good controlled media outlet should...instead of telling Clinton to shove it down her sick throat.

Hillary Clinton suffers from advanced Parkinson’s disease. She is unfit to hold any office and is unable to fulfill the duties of President of the United States.

I'm not saying Hillary wasn't coughing or that it's not a real story.

I'm saying NBC probably isn't covering it. I could be wrong, because I don't watch their news, but my impression is that it's just one little guy there who snuck a notice onto the website.

Nice little news organization you got there.

Shame if anything was to happen to it.

The attempts to squelch legitimate news by bullying is quite brazen.

In 2008, the media made such a fuss about John McCain’s “Old Age” and the fact that he had Skin Cancer, and how it can “Come back” they said that this was all relevant..So it was relevant than, but Hillary Clinton looking like she has a foot and a half in the grave doesn’t matter?
