Watching MSNBC right now, they are saying the president has been successful in creating Mueller fatigue.
Why the fuck are they saying that?

Why is the media buying into Trump's narrative?

Controversial media = ratings.
So few people on cable news actually care about delivering actual news now.

Unfortunately the polls reflect that. Its less the media buying into Trumps narrative, and more so that narrative working on the American populace, and the media reporting such.
Not like "Mueller fatigue" really means anything, its a criminal investigation.

It's such a bummer.
If a news station went HAM and really stood up to this dude, wouldn't THAT get ratings?
I am so sick of news stations saying, "We stand with so-and-so in light of Trump's attack on the press" and then they don't do anything to back it up.
they are delivering to the American public as a whole a product that they want. The real question should be why are so many people watching their nonsense still? You are clearly disgusted by MSNBC's reporting, so why not tune out?
Maybe don't focus so intently on what someone on a 24 hour cable news channel said a few minutes ago.
Would that narrative even manage to spread were it not for the media chasing ratings? That sounds like a snake eating its tail.
I'd be curious to see the polls if anyone has them on hand.
It seems more like general fatigue with everything, in addition to the political machine that runs almost constantly with all the voting, etc. . I mean, presidential campaigns last like, what, 2 years? Not Trump is even campaigning while he is in office, eventually you just get tired.
Personally I don't read a lot of Trump threads anymore because it is more of the same and it just gets boring.

I think there's polling that backs up Mueller fatigue?
It's not actually that surprising; Republicans obviously just want it to go away, where Democrats are frustrated that it hasn't wrapped up quickly enough, creating a universal fatigue (even if the reasons are opposite).

What polls? And either way the president is creating that sentiment, which should be criticized, not praised.

No, trump is loudly broadcasting that message if you haven't noticed.

What's real journalism then? I've seen the same shit at wapo and nytimes. The economist? You actually have to have some amount of circulation to be relevant, sorry.
because MSNBC cant see over the piles of hate mail they get from Fox news viewers. At Trump's suggestion of course, the much hated enemy media.
NPR plays horse race with the best of them, when they want to.
that's something that can't happen in this country so i don't know why that would be a worry to them
It's about priorities.
Is the goal to inform? Or to make money?
Msnbc is frequently censored by management out of fear of offending corporate ownership.
Hence priority is making money.
The big cable channels are like the worst way to get news at this point. They'll prop Trump up until he's dictator 4 life just for the ratings bump.

Nah NPR has published some absolute shit lately, and they straight up cut off an Iranian on the air criticizing the US lat week. Fuck NPR.
They aren't saying that they're fatigued, they aren't buying into Trump's narrative, they're reporting on the observable fact that a significant chunk of the general population is tired of - or at least has become numb to - the daily ins and outs and ups and downs of the Mueller investigation.
If they weren't doing that, if they were crafting their own narrative that ran counter to the information that they have to report on... well, the name for that is Fake News.

it doesn't matter what he broadcasts. He's not creating fatigue by repeating himself ad naseum. The cable news covering every time someone farts thats is even remotely related to the investigation is whats causing it
and honestly, i dont give a shit if the public is tired of it, its not Muellers job to make you happy about the day to day of his investigation
I find most political talk panels on these "news" networks to be nonsensical endless debate about half researched opinions on optics. They rarely look at the content of the topic.

Oh you don't understand. Everything is entertainment now and must be judged as such. If someone is boring or they're doing a boring thing that I'm tired of hearing about, that means they're bad and they should stop. We don't live in a country anymore we live in a television show
Legal proceedings don't require high Q-ratings to be effective. The cable news requires hot topics to stay relevant, rather than relevant topics to keep the people informed. Don't watch cable news for news.

So he has net favorable numbers. This actually supports that it makes no sense to be broadcasting the President's message of "Mueller fatigue."
By this logic they should be fucking reporting on trump fatigue. Haven't heard that and his polls are worse.
They are parroting and broadcasting a narrative that doesn't exist. Hence the creation of this thread.
They should be openly saying the American public is sick and fucking tired of trump and congress should start impeachment proceedings if they are running this mueller fatigue nonsense.
Not seeing that are we. And that is arguably their fucking job. President repeatedly breaks the law, fucking call for his head you spineless pieces of shit.
Relax. The media uses phrases that are not legally binding or translatable to actions, like "Mueller fatigue" or "collusion", because they are not legally binding or translatable to actions. This way they can't/won't be exposed to legal liability brought on by others.
In this case, in trying to avoid driving one narrative, they have instead aided in heightening a narrative driven by Trump.

They should be, unless Comcast(their overall parent) and their advertisers don't want them to be.
I'd think the slow leaks of damaging info are more beneficial than a one and done investigation to Democrats.
