Most corporate media, even MSNOW, is ignoring trump's no show in public

for the last several days. I have not heard one peep. It's been reported by independent journalists and talked about here on DU.

Personally. I don't care what he's doing and the less I SEE of him the better. But he is the President. So most of the media thinks it's not even worth mentioning that he had another physical and then disappeared from public view for days on end?

That must be the " Trump Standard" that Lawrence O'Donnell has commented on many times. You know, the rules the media has established only for him, like never interrupting, not doing follow ups, etc.

If I had to guess, he's recovering from some kind of cosmetic surgery. But let's say that Biden tried to pull that. I'm sure the corporate media would be al in on covering for him, right?
