Four More "Exhausting" Years? Trump Reporters Mull Covering a Second Term
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 6:15 AM PDT 5/2/2020 | by Jeremy Barr FACEBOOK TWITTER

At this point, journalists — print, online and television — are used to the Trump pace. Weekends are gone. Work-life balance is not a thing. (And that was true even before the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the biggest story of the last 20 years.)

But that doesn't mean that national journalists want to do it for four more years.

A senior CNN producer tells The Hollywood Reporter that the network's journalists are not rooting against the president in November but guessed they would welcome a return to a more "normal" presidency and accompanying news cycle.

"As journalists, I don't think anybody cares about what party the president of the United States is," the producer says. "What they care about is being able to live their lives normally again. I think there's mental exhaustion around this presidency, and I don't know anybody who is enjoying it. I don't know anybody who wants to do another four years of this news cycle."

The producer continues: "It's not a matter what his political beliefs or his ideological beliefs are. The exhaustion comes from his behaviors. That's it. His behavior is exhausting. ... I don't I think have ever run into anybody who says they literally hate Donald Trump the man. They're just exhausted by his behavior, and I think that's fair. Nobody I know is openly rooting for him to lose."

“As journalists, I don’t think anybody cares about what party the president of the United States is,...”

As journalists, they no longer think

They are vermin.

And are to be treated as such

And WILL be treated as such once they force us past the tipping point.

There are precious few actual journalists in this country, most that use that label are in fact propagandists.

I think the “producer” is full ob sh!t.

They say they are “exhausted” by Trump’s “behaviors” and they would like to return to a normal presidency. It is they themselves who said right from the start that they could not “normalize” Trump, it is they who have “exhausted” themselves by refusing to treat him like they have treated almost every other president. They must think we are stupid.

Elections are still 5 months away. Does anyone believe that the left doesn’t have yet more tricks up its sleeve?

If y’all did t care what party he was in then why have you whipped yourselves into this frenzy for the last three and a half years to remove him, working ever contrived angle you can think of, and before that in order to elect your damnable beloved Democrats?

Or maybe these we just want a return to normal “journalists” are just lying ... as usual?

I don’t know when I have seen so many lies in one paragraph.

It’s exhausting to keep track of your lias. Probably part of why the Clintons look so old.

"Rooting" implies having a favorite but in the end being an observer rather than a participant. The sporting equivalent would be stealing sgns and passing them to the batter, using a mirror to blind their opponents, running onto the field so their team has a few extra players, breaking the equipment of their opponents and changing the scoreboard.

Somebody needs to tell the MSM that there is more to news than just the presidency.
