Sen. Chris Murphy discharged from hospital after stroke

The Connecticut Democrat will spend “several weeks at a rehabilitation center” after being discharged from The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets focus on Murphy being out of the hospital after a stroke, and three of the four also say he will miss upcoming votes or several weeks of votes. The Hill is the only outlet to quote Murphy saying he will spend several weeks at a rehabilitation center, while CBS News is the only one to include his doctor’s expectation of a full recovery after rehabilitation. NBC News is the only extract that describes the stroke as a “small hemorrhagic stroke.”
