And NBC covered a potential Presidential candidate too. Kelly O'Donnell examined the announcement by Fred Thompson, the onetime Republican senator from Tennessee, that he had been diagnosed with a slow-growing lymphoma. O'Donnell played Thompson's soundbite from Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto Live Your World with Neil Cavuto: "I have had no sickness, no symptoms. I would not know I had it if the doctor had not told me." O'Donnell observed that Thompson "would not have gone public with his cancer if he were not thinking about the White House." If Thompson does not return to politics he can keep his day job, as an actor on NBC's Law & Order. NBC was the only network to assign a reporter to Thompson--the other two newscasts mentioned his health in passing.
