They start writing the evening news (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN), commentary (MSNBC) and late-night comedy in the morning, and by the time the shows air, the whole program has been re-written six times.
Makes for a challenge, but on the other hand, the MSNBC opinion commentators and late night comedians who despise Comrade TRUMPovich McPutinpuppet the most have also benefitted the most from him in terms of ratings, profits and bonuses.
" … Increasingly, the United States — which had long been a symbol of stability and seriousness — is being seen as a banana republic, or, rather, a once serious nation run by an unstable egomaniac. …"

I switched to reading most of my news from a variety of sources. About all the news I listen too is NPR. Panelists talking over each other, the Fox insanity, Wolf’s OMG style all drove me away.
Trump’s base will be loyal to him regardless of what they are seeing or hearing. There are three branches to the Trump base:
The “I hate Hillary at all costs.” To be fair, there is also the “I hate Trump at all costs” group on the left. They believe in two wrongs make a right. They defend Trump’s righteousness by pointing out how unrighteous it was when Hillary did it or if Obama were to do it. Hatred keeps this group in line.
Then there are the true believers: white supremacists, xenophonics, Isalmaphobics, homophobic, you-name-it-phobics. They believe that only their messiah, Trump,can save them from all these forces of “evil.” This is the fake news crowd; idealistically idolic to Trump. Fear keeps this group in line.
Finally there are the “pocketbook Nazis” – these are people who don’t believe in the cause but continue their support because they are doing well. This is how I believe that most Germans felt in the 1930’s (hence the name for the group). They were not as enthusiastic in 1944-45 when the Soviet Steamroller was running over them. As long as their pockets stay lined or their political agenda is kept they’ll go along. Trump has committed every sin in the Bible, but as long as he provides Christian groups with conservative appointees, all these sins are forgiven. These people can be turned, but not relied upon.

It ain’t the news that changes by the minute. It’s which lie Trump decides to lie about.

Read the news, just ignore everything Trump says since it will all become invalidated when he is impeached.

Omarosa now says the WH staff referred to the 25th amendment so often it had a hashtag, as in #tfa.
