Way back they managed to keep Woodrow Wilson's devastating stroke a secret. The story goes that they wheeled the drooling president out for photo ops and pretended he was recovering. FDR was a dying man when they ran him for his 4th term. Democrats knew he was dying so they hand picked his successor, Harry Truman. It wouldn't be unusual for the media to protect another democrat for as long as they could.
