So, has the media decided they are going to report on every DeSantan utterance?

I get the "newsworthiness" of it all (he is an official Presidential candidate), but cable, online, broadcast network, print...BREATHLESS coverage of anything he says. Every day. Is it going to be this way until he flames out?

Florida resident here, so you can imagine the regional ampage. My local NBC affiliate can't get enough of this man. Feels like lead story every other day.

why are we fed election "coverage" all...the...damn...time? 24/7

I think that the more that people see of DeSantis, the less they will like him. Chainfire May 2023 #2

The other day, there were at least four threads with the same pic of the idiot on the golf course.

NOT newsworthy.

At any rate, best thing is just turn off the news because the large news orgs just recycle the same stories all day long, every hour.

It's only going to get worse, and this little feud going between tfg and DeSantis is just MADE for TV action.

Just regurgitate the campaign talking points - like they did in 2016

anything to emphasize the horse race aspect of it all.
