NYT ripped for only reporting Fetterman's 'serious mental health' issues 'now that the truth doesn't matter'
Fox News ^ | 2.10.23 | February 10, 2023

The New York Times piece said Fetterman 'may have set himself back permanently' by campaigning instead of resting after his stroke

-----------------------------------

On Friday, the New York Times released an article, titled "Fetterman, Recovering After Stroke, Labors to Adjust to Life in the Senate," detailing his struggles with quotes from senators and staff, with the admission that the campaign set back his stroke recovery.

"But his adjustment to serving in the Senate has been made vastly more difficult by the strains of his recovery, which left him with a physical impairment and serious mental health challenges that have rendered the transition extraordinarily challenging — even with the accommodations that have been made to help him adapt," according to The Times.

"He has had to come to terms with the fact that he may have set himself back permanently by not taking the recommended amount of rest during the campaign," the article said. "And he continues to push himself in ways that people close to him worry are detrimental."

In light of this news, many commentators across Twitter condemned media outlets for obfuscating Fetterman's health problems in order to ensure he won the election in 2022.

Media personality Steve Krakauer tweeted, "NYT is ready to tell the truth about John Fetterman - who remains in the hospital for a 3rd day - now that the truth doesn't matter." He then quoted from the article: "a physical impairment and serious mental health challenges that have rendered the transition extraordinarily challenging."

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald slammed many media outlets for having hidden or minimized Fetterman’s health concerns while he was running for office.

Silver lining. If Fetterman resigns, the govenor picks a temporary Senator and a special election takes place in 2024.

The problem is that they were able to cheat enough to get him elected so a semi normal candidate would be a cakewalk……

Sarcasm below.

New York Times Circa Nov. 2022
“Yes he had a stroke but is improving rapidly and will be okay.

New York Times Circa Feb. 2023
“Yes he is a mush brain due to the stroke and he will not be okay.”

The New York Times is the enemy of truth and non bias. NOT SARCASM.

As long as Fetterman can push the voting button Schumer tells him to push, he will remain as a senator. Simple as that.

Alot of folks don’t pay attention to the therapy after physiological and/or orthopedic events.

Therapy and physical therapy should not be overlooked or blown off. Otherwise quality of life afterwards is in serious jeopardy.

This is a teachable moment.

Fetterman needed an advocate. His thoughts were flawed and he thought otherwise, and if he was cajoled or fooled into concluding otherwise, NOBODY had his best interests in mind.

Shameful, and vain glorious to all those involved.

The problem was Fetterman didn’t want to debate and finally agreed to debate at the last minute when over a 1 million people had already early voted, and the top of the ticket was a disaster.

LOL!

Fetterman didn’t win. That election was stolen.

I refuse to believe America has become as brain dead as he is.

RE: special election?

Somebody ask the Soros staff what the final vote totals are for the day after the 2024 special election. Why wait for the good Dem victory news?🥳

That part about continuing to “push himself” is a beauty. So what Fetterwoman does is “pushing?” I guess he fits right in with the dimokrat senate?

No one asked him to move out of his parent's basement.

No one asked him to latch onto a Fidelista puta.

A puta who will dump him in a nursing home the moment this TIA in his limbic system or cortex or frontal or all of the above is determined to have officially incapcitated Fetterman.

The only missing piece is if he goes home again, not IF but WHEN he flips out on his puta, and is subsequently, finally, permanently incapacitated (and hopefully incarcerated).

Then watch the puta reveal her inner ratchetista biotch when the Democrats 'forget' all their 'promises' and rapidly discard her and him.

And Goobernor Shapirostein names himself to Unfettereddroolingsloboman to his her Senate seat.

Schadenfreude.

Fetterman is THE raison d'etre to eliminate mail-in ballots.

His win margin was well established by the ballots mailed-in before the debate (see below), as there is no restriction on how early you can request a mail-in ballot in PA, shortly after the primary counting is completed.

PA's primary is May 17, 2022, it could not have been 3 more weeks to produce mail-in ballots.

Offering ballots 4-5 months before an election is ABSURD and on its face UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

It is simply NOT possible to make a REASONED decision on ANY candidate half a year before a general election.

This is easily one of the best avenues of attack against mail-in ballots, and as I noted above, once Fetterman has another stroke or TIA in his limbic system or cortex or frontal or all of the above, and flips out on his puta wife and is incapacitated -- only about 1 more step down on his awareness ladder from the CPSS stroke scale or any stroke scale you care to name: LAMS, RACE, etc...

The GOP must promote both his removal by impeachment, if necessary, and a mandated Special Committee to review all Federal election laws that permitted such a travesty in the first place.

Look, the only reason they kept Cro-Magnon Man in the race was to have him bow out after it was determined he was brain damaged and they could appoint his ultra-fascist wife to the position.
