Media gives Fetterman pass on health questions even after he ducks debate in Senate race
Washington Times ^ | September 2, 2022 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 09/02/2022 10:49:47 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

The health of Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has received relatively little media scrutiny since he suffered a stroke more than three months ago, an episode that he says nearly killed him.

Mr. Fetterman and Republican rival Mehmet Oz were supposed to square off in their first debate Tuesday night, but Mr. Fetterman bowed out. Instead of saying that he wasn’t physically ready to debate, Mr. Fetterman blamed the Oz campaign, saying they were mocking his recovery.

Rather than the debate-dodging raising questions about Mr. Fetterman’s fitness, however, most of the media coverage was devoted to criticizing Mr. Oz for complaining that his opponent was ducking transparency.

Not fit to debate and not fit to be a Senator.

Actually, Fetterman has never been fit for anything. Perhaps that’s why he never had a real job.

Not sure elections matter when all the information is hidden from voters by the mass media. They basically choose who they want to win.

All sounds fair.🤬

Biden is of sound mind. Check.🤪

Fetterman can be a dynamic, quick thinking leader with dynamic health and vigor. Check.🤪

Trump? Demonstration of sign carrying psychologists and psychiatrists backing up ——by distant diagnosis by AP release and CNN stories——that Trump should be removed under the 25th Amendment as mentally unfit to be President.🤬

Dirty hypocrites. They are unfit to be shrinks. They KNEW they were lying due to hatred of conservatives.🤬

The Biden operation (not Joe Biden) has issued the media marching orders. The courts have received their rulings on subject proceedings. Repeats of 2020 election tactics will be standard fare. Same manipulation of social media. Joe Bidens teleprompter scripts have been database stored for systematic release.

All Trump. No policy.

If I were a Pennsylvanian, I would not find an Antifa gnome or troll look terribly attractive for my Senator.

More MSM ‘donations-in-kind’ for the ‘D’onkey Party. Anyone able to remind me of ANY time where a NON ‘D’ candidate gets that same consideration?

By all accounts, he the new Biden, not the improved Biden, just the younger Biden, who still, seems as cognitively impaired as Biden. And it that’s possible, he’s twice as ugly/scary-looking. So it looks like the pipsqueak media is turning against one of its own, Dr. Oz, just for the sake of supporting the chumps they’ve always traditionally supported.

The quality of our government will never exceed the quality of the press.

For me it’s becoming clearer by the day

Fetterman wins whether actually wins or by cheating.

They know he isn’t finishing his term. He either leaves in a bag, on a stretcher or whatever

Wolfe, after private consultation with Schumer appoints a handpicked successor.

I predict that Fetterman will get at least 48% of the vote in Pennsylvania. It’ll be fun having not one, but two, potted plants serving Pennsylvania in the US Senate.

I think what’s most important is that Mastriano wins.
We’ll see.

Agreed. But I have this feeling is that the most likely outcome is Oz squeaks out a win and Mastriano goes down to defeat to Shapiro amidst some really questionable balloting in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks & Allegheny Counties.

Don’t forget DelCo and my county of Chester...

The only way I see it possible for Oz to win is if there’s a massive economic crash.
I’m not certain if people would think Ds or Rs are better.
Ds give free stuff, and Rs are better with economic policy.

Is Fetterman malingering?
