Nobody could follow anything in the news.

Most people expect this to be just one more insane vanity project that will disappear before anything concrete happens.

If congress was making a fool out of him over it, they'd cover it.

Media gets free pass and few have any courage. Podcasts grilling Trump over it, thiugh.

so they should investigate it quickly before it goes above 50,000 again and they have to stop.

There are very few true "journalists" left and they are not in the White House Press Corps. Although I will admit that Kaitlin Collins has shown some backbone in standing up to them.

Most are just looking for a quote they can use when they go on one of the evening talk shows. They dare not cross the line and report stories that are important or ask questions that are off-limits. If they can find some juicy tidbit or something controversial and interesting, that is the story that they report.

I'm no fan of our media, but they have a real problem trying to cover all the simultaneous insane stories gushing out of this administration.
