      Those play-by-play gossipy stories that appear newsy but aren't? (What was his mood? Who said what?) Besides being a distraction and taking up news oxygen, to write them, you gotta suck up to those close to power who will then leak to you. That, not the jokes, is the issue.

      Most "reporting" out of the White House is superficial, gossipy stuff that makes for a good soap opera—hence readable and clickable—but is of little other relevance. It gets fetishized as if it were substantive reporting plus it distorts everything journalism is supposed to be.

          This gossipy "reporting" is a continuation how mass media failed before the election. We'd be better without day-by-day "reporting" from the White House. That effort could/should go to actual journalism. Short update on who resigned/replaced once a week is plenty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Yes. I don't care that Fewer Vote Getter is screaming at the television, even if he is. It means absolutely nothing.

          Agree, and I wonder if we aren’t so blinded by our disgust for @realDonaldTrump that we seek reinforcement for our disgust and hope that amidst the garbage, an impeachable diamond will be revealed. We are dogs chasing our tails. When will the dog catcher (Mueller) save us?!

          Case in point, recent tweet from the NYT WH correspondent, “he said, she said” Now why did she defend SHS? 🤔https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/991064694147383298?s=21 …
