Sen. Chris Murphy still hospitalized after suffering a stroke over the weekend
Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, was still in the hospital as of Tuesday, his office confirmed.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets focus on Murphy’s hospitalization after a stroke and on the confirmation coming from his office or a spokesperson. CBS News, NBC News, The Independent and The Hill use straightforward hospital-and-stroke headlines, while CNBC and The New York Times add the office’s condition update, with CNBC and the Times the only ones to say he was “awake and alert.” The Hill is also alone in its extract in giving the most detailed timeline and symptom description.
