Las Vegas Review-Journal

Feeling ill

-

Lately I’ve read letters in the Review-Journal from writers who do not feel the paper is liberal enough and is in the tank for the Republican Party.

For instance, Tuesday’s paper featured a letter from Gayle Dematoff, who criticized the ReviewJour­nal for publishing a wire-service article on the front page that discussed Hillary Clinton’s health. She further stated she was disgusted with the press and the Review-Journal for making Mrs. Clinton’s health a “major concern.”

I wonder if Ms. Dematoff in 2008 was concerned about how the press demanded medical records from GOP nominee John McCain because of his age?

Was she concerned in 1980 when the press was constantly discussing President Reagan’s health because of his age and implying he was too old to serve as commander in chief?

We should be concerned about the health of all the presidenti­al candidates. Many of us were alarmed when on Sept. 11 a video of Mrs. Clinton showed her convulsing and collapsing while she was getting into her vehicle. She nearly fell to the ground and had to be helped by Secret Service agents.

We were later told she had pneumonia.

Donald Trump recently released his medical records and discussed his health on the “Dr. Oz” show. It appears he is medically fit and needs only to lose a few pounds.

Ms. Dematoff wrote that it was “unfair” for the Review-Journal to lean Republican, which is debatable. So let me suggest that she read the Las Vegas Sun, which is definitely in the tank for the Democrats. You can get your daily dose of Trump bashing from that insert — which, by the way, would not be in existence without the financial support of the ReviewJour­nal.
