Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus reveals breast cancer diagnosis per BBC News

The BBC are only partly at fault for the political aspect of the reporting of Julia Louis-Dreyfus's announcement that she has breast cancer. This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41237592 faithfully reports Julia Louis-Dreyfus's words including that she had "fantastic" health insurance through her union.

The BBC doesn't report, for context, that Julia Louis-Dreyfus reportedly earns around $150,000 per episode of VEEP so has no real desperate need for health insurance. Nor do the BBC report, for context, that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is apparently worth upwards of $200 million, maybe more since her multi billionaire father died last year.

Nor do the BBC report, for context, that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a long time Democrat supporter, per Wikipedia:

'Louis-Dreyfus supported Al Gore's 2000 U.S. presidential bid, and also endorsed Barack Obama's bid for the presidency in 2008[70] and 2012.[71] She appeared in a video that urged President Obama to reject the proposal of the Keystone XL pipeline, arguing that if the pipeline ever were to leak, it would cause mass pollution across the U.S.[72]

...

During the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Louis-Dreyfus announced her endorsement of Hillary Clinton for the United States presidential election of that year.[75]

In her acceptance speech at the 2017 Screen Actors Guild Awards, she denounced President Donald Trump's executive order of travel ban as "un-American," and said, "My father fled religious persecution in Nazi-occupied France."[76]'

For the record, I loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus's creation Elaine Benes in Seinfeld and love her portrayal of the seemingly inept and amoral Selina Meyer in VEEP. Her politics I'm less a fan of and the BBC's complicity in reporting her words irritate me even more.

Get well soon Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
