Erik Wemple frets that the journalists tasked with covering Donald Trump’s 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 wasn’t 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 we’re often paying editors to kill time by surfing the Web.” That was 2015.

That’s just too darned funny. What wusses they are.
I guess they could go along with the Trump agenda and hire many more journalists even though it would mean they lose more money.
...not to mention superior intelligence, honesty, and superior morality—and the support of the American People.
They are used to that lazy shiftless 0bama and his 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM work schedule.
The Atomic Trump Wedgie of the libs continues. He trolls them and they bite every time.
See that? He's already creating more job for journalists, Trump's da boss...
PRESIDENT Trump is such a force of nature that he could almost be called a benign freak of nature without any insult. After all, how many healthy 40 year old men could sustain a constant work pace the way he does at age 70?
It’s how Reagan defeated the USSR. Outresourced them to exhaustion.
... by telling falsehoods and lying;...Speaking of falsehoods and lying...False accusations from the fake news network.
They sooo wanted Jeb!
After seeing his campaign pace, I was hoping this exact thing would happen - keep their heads spinning!!
Look what got stuck into the middle of that sentence:
“...by telling falsehoods and lying;...”
Haters gonna hate!
I guess Trump is looking for a changing of the media. Outlast em all!
Welcome to the life of a REAL CEO............
In my last couple years of employment with a Tier I auto manufacturing company, I was now assigned to the corporate office in Troy, MI.
On several occasions when I would slip off to the shipping dock of the office building to have a cigarette, I would encounter the corporate controller who I knew from when we both worked at our company's stamping plant in Detroit.
He relayed how the CEO would report for work on Mon. thru Fri at 6:30 a.m. and not leave for home until 10:00 p.m. In addition, he would work Saturdays and Sundays and expect his staff, which included my friend, to work mandatory Saturdays and Sundays if needed...........
The life of a true successful CEO is not filled with golf outings and parties.............
The media crew have been too used to Obama.......
Please clap...
Trump on offense. Can’t lose as long as he stays on offense.
Please clap!
Please please please clap.....!!
I’m begging you all, clap for me, just a little??
The media is suffering from foot-in-ass disease and Trump needs a new pair of shoes every other week.
That was one of the saddest moments on TV ever.
He should go all “shock and awe” on the MSM 24x7. Hit them with tweets and stories they cannot ignore, at all hours of day and night. He’s well on the way to that but he could step up the pace even more, heh heh.... MSM churnalists will be seeing Trump in their dreams and daydreams.
Hear Hear!
