Is any other Liberal--or any Rep--getting tired of Trump news day after weary day? Was there that much coverage of Obama's early presidency?
This may do it for me. I'm getting discouraged at having no responses.

I have been sick of the reporting for quite some time. The constant droning from both sides about Trump has been horrid. What is even worse is that you can't seem to get away from it. Watch sports - someone makes a trump statement. Watch an award show - well you know someone has to make a Trump statement. It is all over the place and doesn't stop.
Did it happen with Obama? Absolutely. He was the first African American President and as such, the constant news stream was incessant.
Having said that, there is a difference. The Trump reporting is all negative all the time and the vitriol has been amazing. With Obama it was sickeningly sweet. I felt at any moment I could become diabetic just listening to the redundant reporting about how the world was so much better with him in it.
So am I sick of the reporting? Absolutely. Was there just as much for Obama? Absolutely. One was just adored the other is vilified. I think negativity is more tiresome than the opposite. I am not making a judgement as to whether either deserved to be reported in either set of terms, just that that is how it was/is.

The difference between Obama and Trump coverage is the Negative tone for Trump and the Positive tone (total love and adoration) the media had (has) for Obama. Fox is accused of leaning right, but there are certainly a lot of commentators and regular Fox anchors who do not like Trump and they are not afraid to show it!

So, the pretend-journalists at Faux are criticizing Dolt 45? I'd say that's pretty good evidence of the inept, incompetent performance turned in by the "leader of the free world" thus far.
