The media however has been exceedingly anxious to assure that all is well with Secretary Clinton, 68. This comes after weeks of mainstream journalists poo-poo-ing any suggestion that the candidate could be unwell, and dismissing reports of her infirmities as “conspiracy theories” emerging from the “hate machine” of the much-maligned alt-right.

Early on, NBC / MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin was one of the first to Tweet that “NBC News has confirmed” that Secretary Clinton had a “health episode” and has left the 9/11 ceremony. Foley’s Tweet, however, was hastily deleted, perhaps at the behest of his superiors at 30 Rock. Folley then followed up with an explanation:

Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook have kept Clinton’s health out of their trending topics. It’s such a sunny day, anyway.
