I suspect it will be the opposite.

"Is news about pneumonia news? Or news?"

Well, I predict Trump will say something dumb and or cruel, which is business as usual. Or he might be super respectful, which would be a big surprise and would be news for that. I can see people speculating on Hillary and her condition which might be business as usual, or calls saying she should step down and is physically unfit for the job of being America's President, which would also be business as usual. Or maybe she'll decide to throw in the towel, which would be super crazy and who knows what road that would take us down?

If we're lucky, the news will acknowledge that skipping out on the 9/11 ceremony with anything short of projectile leprosy would be seen as an affront to the assorted people dragged out whenever you wish to assert an affront and that once she was there, leaving early would be an even greater affront etc. until you have a politician feeling so shitty that she's gotta bolt and lo and behold there she is, Weekend at Bernie's on cell footage.

If we're unlucky, the news will question whether or not Hilary Clinton has projectile leprosy.
