what's the news? that he lies?
old news.

that he exaggarates?
old news.

that he boasts?
old news.

that he blames others?
old news.

that he's stupid?
old news.

that he's a bigot, sexist, xenophobe, (fill in the blank)-hater?
old news.

the only "story" they get from him are some immaterial particulars that fit these well-established old stories.

not news.

there is no legitimate journalistic excuse to continue to reward him with so much free air time
