Suck it up and stop being little shills for the democrat party.
How to avoid the "exhaustion" of covering four more years of Trump
A new story in the Hollywood Reporter quotes a number of White House correspondents and network producers who are bemoaning the prospect of what they call four more "exhausting years" of covering the Trump presidency.
Ah yes, there's nothing more endearing than a group of professionals complaining about all the hard work they have to do covering the leader of the free world.
Considering the boost in the ratings and readership the Trump White House has given the industry overall, this seems like a bit of a phony complaint. But just in case these journalists are truly worried about being exhausted if President Trump wins another term in office, here are some important pointers they should follow to, let's say, pace themselves:
1) Stop chasing down every anti-Trump leak or rumor like it's the Great Pumpkin and you're Linus
Cultivating confidential sources is an important part of reporting, but the use of unnamed sources since Trump was first elected has gone beyond the point of just irresponsibility. It's become a major joke.
We've heard and seen some many, "sources say the end is near!", stories over the last three years that it's truly ridiculous. The most common false narratives are major congressional Republicans are abandoning Trump, a key White House aide or current/former cabinet member is going to testify against the president, or that everyone inside the administration knows Trump is actually insane. These kinds of stories never seem to dissipate no matter how many of them never come close to fruition.
