What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Christina Applegate’s claim that she was misdiagnosed with MS and on her description of being “back at square one.” The Hill keeps the framing tight around the misdiagnosis and her statement that she “hasn’t gotten better,” while Fox News adds that she spoke tearfully and foregrounds her account of confusion, depression and no relief from symptoms.
