This is an actual headline that appeared in a "Journalism" newsletter 13 days before the election: "How much coverage of Donald Trump is too much?".
The column is from Tom Jones, senior media writer at the Poynter Institute and, you'll not be surprised to learn, a man consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I've said in the past that Jones' daily "Poynter Report" column would be more accurately titled, "Why I Hate Donald Trump and Fox News.".
In this instance, Jones claims to be upset that the legacy media has devoted so much time to Trump trolling Kamala Harris in a McDonald's photo op and his outrageous asides, most notably ruminating on the late Arnold Palmer's junk.
Just two weeks ago, Axios reported that Democrats would not commit to certifying Trump if he wins.
The reality, which eludes Jones, is that the legacy media, for which he runs cover, focuses on these peripheral matters to avoid talking about what voters say are the election's most important issues - the economy, inflation, border security and crime.
Jones tries to draw a dichotomy between the supposedly frivolous Trump and Harris, who he says is "Laser-focused on speeches, interviews and the traditional things candidates do in the final sprint to the finish line of a race."
