I feel like this more then anything is the story. Like in 2015 to 2020 the Yam drives ratings which drives coverage because ratings are the metric tool to get advertising. There are a lot of people who just care about that at all levels of corporate media. High principaled talk and criticism doesn't get far.

They cover him because he makes them money.

@ZiaMacPine That’s so frustrating. It’s bad enough that CNN did it partly or mostly for ratings. It’s even worse that it worked. Why aren’t people sick of this chump yet?
