Opportunity + Instinct = Profit. A good journalist can sense the moment that a story is developing and seize the moment. That's why when White House correspondent Tony Christopher started having a heart attack, he immediately logged into Twitter and started covering it:

Approximately at 6pm on Sunday afternoon Christopher wrote, “I gotta be me. Livetweeting my heart attack. Beat that!” Presumably a few minutes later the paramedics arrived to tell Christopher he will be stable after his crisis.
An hour later Christopher joked about needing to own a cardiac cat, referencing a viral video in which a cat is trying to revive his dead feline friend. He also updated his followers about the pain he was feeling, “even after the morphine.”

Is it mean of me to feel sad because he didn't tweet his death?

I had never seen the "cardiac cat" video before...that was the saddest video ever. =( I can't believe the reporter used it as a joke...especially as the other cat didn't survive. :\
