The first year of the Trump presidency was a year of calibration for the nation's top journalists, who learned to keep up with a politician who revels in exhausting the press corps, launching news cycles with early-morning, late night and weekend tweets.
The next two years, 2018 and 2019, were even more exhausting, as journalists scrambled to cover government shutdowns, congressional hearings, a Supreme Court nomination, the president's flirtation with North Korea, the Mueller Report and impeachment.
At this point, journalists — print, online and television — are used to the Trump pace. Weekends are gone. Work-life balance is not a thing.

Exhausting ? I would think a journalist (professional writer) would know the meaning of a word. The only thing that might make this exhausting is your constant quest to turn truth into lies and lies into truth.

The media's exhausting response to Trump is certainly encouraged by our President - I think he likes nothing more than to 'bait the bear'. But If you weren't out hunting bears to begin with it wouldn't matter. The media's naked hatred for all things Trump makes them susceptible to being provoked in the first place. America elected Trump president precisely because he was not a mealy-mouthed political statist. And we will do so again in November.

When did "exhausting" journalism include repeating the daily talking points of the DNC, taking the lead from the NYT and interviewing other members of the media? The past three years have seen the laziest journalism in history, starting with the uncurious, virtual non-coverage of 33,000 emails to the hairdresser, yoga instructor and bridal shop that were wiped, bleached and hammered from the hard drives belong to Ms. Hillary and her cronies.

It is truly fitting that this comes from “Hollywood” Reporter...what a bunch of lazy all about me nonsense. It is laughable that this self-centered bunch complains about wanting a normal life when they are covering a Prez who has done more in 3 and 1/2 years than most of our past President have done in 4 let alone those who had 2 terms. When you meet PDJT, one quickly realizes the enormous and palpable energy level that is only exceeded by his absolute zest and joy in meeting his fellow Americans. I may not like his tweets, his tendency to abbreviate large complex issues that the press gleefully distorts, or his frequent harsh labeling of opponents; however, this is a man whose demonstrated results in making America great once again.

What's been exhausting has been the non-stop negative reporting that relies on innuendo, anonymous sources, half truths, opposition, lies, statements out of context and outright fabrications.
Just imagine a Trump presidency with fair reporting and some cooperation!!

Do the dead know that they are dead? Apparently not. Journalism expired decades ago.
That’s why it’s called the press corpse.

Revealing that this is covered in the Hollywood Reporter, an industry-related rag that used to report on only the moom picture crowd’s antics...

I see them questioning Trump, and they look like a well rested gaggle of people, thuggish looking certainly, but not exhausted. The WH knows their press release schedules so they arrive around 11 and leave by 2 to write their stories, and then most of it can be done from their homes.

How exhausting can it be to sit on their a$$es and write a few lies about Trump? They cry because they can't keep up with a man almost twice their age, who does 8 times the work these "journalists" could do. That is, if those people could do any worthwhile work at all.

They want to be hanging out with Beyonce and Lebron. Maybe Barack and Michelle, too. And they can bring back the reporter prom, correspondents' dinner. It will be so much more fun.

Trump said this would happen - they're exhausted from all the winning and now he's wearing them out.

Exhausting? Exhausting is what Sundance, John Solomon, Gregg Jarrett, Sheryl Atkinson, Dan Bongino and others (sorry for all I left out) do.

Spoke to a Trump Hater today and I asked them if they would rather Biden or Hillary be President and they said, "yes", so I told them that Trump will go back to his happy life and the country will be done for, and they can't blame him. They'll be stuck with whomever the DNC dregs up from the swamp.

Mostly lies; paragraphs 5 and 6 are outrageous LIES, deserving of text bold and underlined, but I just lack the energy to construct it.

The media loves having Trump in office. It's job security. Covering Obozo was boring for the media because they agreed with everything he said and did. There are only so many articles one can write when you agree with everything. With Trump, everything he says and does is opposed by the media. This makes for much more interesting copy for the media types.
