In the following article, it is described that Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate, was see on Sunday at a 9/11 memorial where she stumbled and seemed a little off. We latter find out that she was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday and disregarded her doctor about taking a needed rest. She says that it was not revealed because she didn't think it was going to be a big deal. Over a phone interview she says that she was hoping to power through, but ended up needing to take a rest.
This article was written by Eric Bradner, a CNN reporter for politics, on September 12, 2016. Eric Bradner seems to lean toward Hillary but is not biased in any way. This source is current and accurate. This article was written for Clinton supporters and people who are curious of what had occurred on sunday. It also informed the people who had not heard of what happen with Clinton. It does not have a positive or negative influence on the audience. It was written to inform people about this event. This article is important to inform voters of this small sickness that may affect Clinton's candidacy. It is also improtant that we learn that her sickness was concealed from the public which means that it can be hidden again. This realates to any president or presidential canidate that has hidden an illness. A specific example would be Kennedy, who had Addison's disease.

ReplyDeleteI see where your coming from, but i think that Hillary Clinton, at age 69, is more than just a little sick and that this could change the whole election depending on her recovery.
ReplyDeleteI think presidential candidates should be more open about their personal life, including health issues, since they are running to become our president. We have the right to know more about someone who is planning on running our country.
