I think they'd say that about any POTUS in this position. It's simply uniquely annoying with Trump. They did spend most of yesterday excoriating him for irresponsibly getting the deadly disease he'd mocked for so long, unusually harshly for cable news and mainstream print media IMO

 

 

 

 

"Rested well" is never good language, IMO.

I don't even understand what that means. When has he ever been in charge? When Van Jones got teary over him bombing Syria? 

 

I hope everyone is ready for the gushing when he returns to the White House and waves at the camera. 

 

They make so much money off him, they don't care how many of us die in the process. If Biden wins they need to be shut down.

Conley, visibly nervous, claims the president's symptoms are "resolving and improving" but immediately throws to another doctor in the raft of docs.

 

 

Dooley quotes Trump as saying "I feel like I could walk out of here today". Throws to another doc who says he is going to be encouraged to "eat, drink, walk around" and get well. Dooley returns and says Trump has been "fever-free for another 24 hours". This can't be true; he had it yesterday AM.

 

Reporter: He has not received any supplemental oxygen at all?

Dooley: He's not received any this morning.

 

They were asked the above twice, and twice they dodged and caveated with "this morning"

They have asked him if he's been oxygen ten times and he repeats "he's not on it now". He's denying he had difficulty breathing - that's not true.

 

 

They're not saying whether he'll be there 5 days, or longer.

 

"He's 74, he's overweight, but other than that he's completely healthy."

aaaaand he rushes away.

 

Tell me again about his imminent triumphant return?

 

 

 

Every media platform openly saying this was unsatisfactory and full of non-answers and evasion.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
