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."

At least one school shooting where deep state types knew about the shooter in advance would be my guess.
If the can manage another Great Depression to bring Trump down they’d do that too.
Yep, I imagine four long exhausting years listening to the truth can be very tuff on fake journalists.
Perfumed princes/princesses of the press complaining about their hard lot in life?
I was in the news biz for 25 years, and at the level I worked, long days were pretty much the rule. From time to time, sleep deprivation became an issue.
I remember some press runs where I caught a few winks curled up on top of a big roll of newsprint. It was either that or the pressroom floor.
Mind you, I worked for the Podunk Gazette. We kept hearing that life was easier for staff at major metro dailies — but neither I nor many of my colleagues managed to get a lot of serious advancement. I think the largest paper I worked for had something like 40,000 daily circulation.
Still, I got to see interesting things and talk to interesting people that I never would have encountered in any other line of work.
“”It’s not a matter what his political beliefs or his ideological beliefs are. The exhaustion comes from his behaviors.”
They are plenty of Democrat politicians and leftie celebrities who are boorish, rude, aggressive or whatever Trump’s detractors consider him. They are BELOVED in the leftist community if they follow the leftist way.
“A senior CNN producer tells The Hollywood Reporter that the network’s journalists are not rooting against the president in November”
BWAHAHAHAHA
Never have I heard such a pack of lies in my life. This is like Bill Clinton trying to convince us he’s a virgin.
Who does tnis clown think he’s fooling?
D-mn right they care what party the Predisent is. The Washington Press corps have been Democrat shills and attack dog for decades.
Just report the news. Eazy peazy.
“Reporters” (and others) covering Trump feel exhausted imagine they’ll need to do the same for four more years?
How about us, the poor people who have to endure their ‘reporting’?
Oh, I forgot, I kinda turned / tuned them off.
Its exhausting having to make up so much bullsh!t.
What behaviors would you be referring to, Mr. Senior CNN Apparatchik?
His aggressive application of policies? His speaking around you and directly TO the people? His open disdain for your "profession's" ubiquitous hostility? Your own inadequacies at plying your "trade"?
What you don't like about Trump is that you can't counter his voice and that pisses you and your kind off, to no end. It's tiring for you to constantly try to coerce and propagandize the masses when the masses find that Trump makes sense and exposes your own congenital biases.
I hope it's more than four more years of tiresome struggles for you people.
All they have to do is tell the truth and not misrepresent every syllable that comes out of his mouth, and the job would be a breeze.
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.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MSM translation: “we are too weak & lazy to keep up with a 74 y/o man that works 20 hours a day 7 days a week”
All of their angst is their own damn fault. They are the ones that spend 24/7 fabricating BS against Trump and now they act like it is his fault.
Ha, ha, ha. Now that's a laugh!
"As journalists, I don't think anybody cares about what party the president of the United States is," the producer says.
Carefully parsed, that could be true. As long as the President is a Marxist "journalists" wouldn't care which party label he/she has.
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."
Admitting they just don't have the energy of President Trump and can't keep up.
"It's not a matter what his political beliefs or his ideological beliefs are.
Now that's a hoot!
I don't I think have ever run into anybody who says they literally hate Donald Trump the man.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Virtually ALL of them hate Trump.
I think that there are a lot of people who might be exhausted by the first four years."
Oops. This one admits Trump will probably get re-elected.
If Joe Biden wins, the focus will shift to holding Joe Biden accountable.
Another hilarious statement, unless "holding Joe Biden accountable" means covering up for him.
I refuse to believe anyone at CNN would say this, with a straight face! Just trying to look unbiased. That ship sailed with Richard Nixon....
I mean, technically 12 more years if we’re counting President Ivanka.
