To the editor:
Yes, media coverage of Trump’s tweets is out of hand. Yes, Trump baits the media by tweeting to his heart’s content, so as to feed “content” to media that are always ravenous for a story. Yes, the media keep eating the tweets up when they should by now be gorged. We, the readers and viewers, have certainly had our fill.
Personally, I would like to see CNN and every other media outlet announce future presidential tweets this way:
“This morning, President Trump tweeted. If you want to know more about that, go to Twitter and find out. We have actual news to cover, so stick with us if you’d like to hear it.”
CNN, are you listening?

Note from KBJ: As I have been saying from the beginning, Donald Trump is five steps ahead of his critics. His tweets are designed to keep CNN talking about trivial matters. CNN is too stupid to realize this.
