Chris Wyman: Bringing 24 hour news values to the papers and magazines was a mistake. We sorely need more deliberative media to temper the constant emotional kneejerking you get from real time reaction and the subsequent echoes as people react to the reaction.

I'll say again it's weird what the media considers so newsworthy it deserves going on 5 days of wall to wall coverage vs what quickly gets buried.

I suppose the least conspiratorial view is a *lot* of rank and file Dems are anxious about an 81 year old candidate and they click on anything that speaks to those fears.

Quite a contrast to the media burying FDRs infirmity in 1944 to support the war effort. But I guess even Trump isn't quite at the level of the Axis powers.
