PHILADELPHIA — An NBC News story with John Fetterman that predominantly focused on the stroke survivor’s health is drawing sharp criticism over how it described the reporter’s interview with the Pennsylvania Senate candidate.
While the full conversation covered a sweep of issues — from abortion rights to crime to inflation — the story was largely framed around Fetterman’s health issues since his May 13 stroke.
Fetterman has been dealing with auditory processing and word retrieval issues since his stroke and has been open about how he uses closed captions to ensure he understands questions in interviews.
