Everyone is on vacation. There is literally no news. Everyone relaxes. Wartches baseball or the water - not much difference. But no he's high drama all the time.

4-5 days/week-----
all times of the day, morning, afternoon and sometimes early evening....

trump is ALWAYS on-----------ALWAYS......ALL THE TIME-- every station.... almost every minute--- sickening...
unescapable.... psychologically destructive......

from my admittedly limited exposure,.....
MSNBC, CNN FOX-- total waste -- they are nothing about news ... not local, regional, domestic news, not international news nothing.. no wonder americans are so fucking stupid and ignorant...

just shit for brains advertising outlets...

It only feeds the personality cult. When a media outlet has an article on something stupid he does, they usually have some stock picture of his orangeness. Instead, they should have a picture of a different president in a similar situation, for comparison and contrast, to provide perspective and context, something journalism should be doing anyway. I fear the ubiquity of his image in the media serves the same function as pervasive wall posters and bigger-than-life statues in authoritarian regimes.
