Media must dump Trump coverage

The coverage of Donald Trump by the media is nothing short of despicable.

The media should be reporting important events happening in this country and around the world, instead of the circus that revolves around Trump.

If the media would quit following Trump, he would be forgotten like the nobody he is.

However, it’s apparent that the media are only interested in sensationalism regardless of the cost. The media would not care, and likely would dance with glee, if we tore each other’s throats out as long as they could report every ghastly detail.
