Erik Wemple frets that the journalists tasked with covering Donald Trumps White House are growing weary thanks to the unsustainable pace the president is setting with long days, ruined weekends, and unpredictable moves.
From the Washington Post:
President Trump has attempted to undercut the U.S. media in a number of ways by calling them the enemy; by denying coverage credentials to certain outlets during his campaign; by telling falsehoods and lying; by siccing his aides on reporters. As we close in on two months of the Trump White House, however, another strategy may be emerging: Outlast the media.
April D. Ryan, White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, tells this blog that this pace of covering this new president is unsustainable for the long haul. That comment came amid a news-filled weekend that wasnt supposed to be that way. According to a White House official quoted in The Post, Saturday was supposed to be a down day, pretty quiet. Someone forgot to tell Trump, who unleashed his now-famous string of tweets alleging involvement by former president Barack Obama in a Trump Tower wiretapping expedition.
All of a sudden, a down day for White House aides as well as for journalists became a tangle of tweets and phone calls and URLs. And this was a Saturday a day when journalists could once unplug with minimal risk of missing a big story. Nothing happens on Saturday, wrote former Bloomberg staffer Dawn Kopecki in a widely read memo to colleagues. We have very little readership and were often paying editors to kill time by surfing the Web. That was 2015.

If they’re low energy, that’s their damn problem.
WINNING!!!
This is the best president we’ve ever had.
who needs entertainment when you have trunp?
I love this man!
Members of the media have no idea what a full work day consists of. They’re a bunch of pansy-a$$es. “Ohh, I broke a nail. Unnhh, my carpal tunnel is killing me. I wish Trump would get better chairs. These are killing my hemorrhoids, and it hurts to think.”
HA! Snowflake young reporters can’t keep up with a 70-year old man!
Can’t keep up with a 70 year old man.
There still may be a little bit of room for improvement:
after all we haven’t had several of their suicides.
yet.
More beotching by the liberal cretin-press.
If there’s one thing I’ve admired about Trump it’s how hard he works. God has blessed him with an amazing work ethic. I just pray that he puts that energy to the betterment of the country and not pushing through more big government boondoggles.
Trump is not even on The Apprentice anymore and has already outlasted that Austrian schmuck Schwarzenegger.
Further proof Obama was a lazy, shiftless loser.
Hurry up Snowflakes, the clock is ticking . .
And I've already taken your "Queen". HEHEHE
I’m sure he had SS making his putts for him.
When Bob Hope was still alive but advanced in age young reporters would complain that they couldn’t keep up with him.
The Apprentice: Suicide Watch
He seems to enjoy two things more than anything else in the world—work and sex.
And destroying the liberal media.
They are the enemy.
by denying coverage credentials to certain outlets during his campaign;
That would BE YOU, Washington ComPost, and you deserved it.
by telling falsehoods and lying;
No, Washington ComPost ... lying is your specialty.
