Irony: CNN's Sanjay Gupta Gets Swine Flu

[DToTheJ]

CNN's resident physician, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, was recently diagnosed with swine flu after traveling to Afghanistan. He's fine now, as he appeared on CNN's afternoon show to tell Wolf Blitzer about his experience.

Was it BREAKING NEWS ins the Situation Room? Was Wolf Blitzer all over the story? I'm not making light of Gupta's swine flu, but I wondered if CNN had their usual light show when there's something new to report.

Better example: There's an author featured in this week's Newsweek who has written books about pandemics; she caught it, too:

Actually, I think it was a "developing story".
