I'll add, that it's exhausting. To try and parse through a story and pick out facts, and remove all the imagined intent and assumed meaning isn't easy.
A fun example was Melania's coat. It was a Rorschach test. Everybody read exactly what they wanted into it. She didn't care about the kids if you're way to the left. She doesn't care about the media if you're on the right. She was taking a shot at Trump if you felt like going that way.
But the "News" was "Melania wore a coat that said blah blah blah. Her intentions are unclear." Nobody can read her mind. So every single article, and there were plenty of them, hypothesizing on what she actually meant was bullshit guessing. That's not how journalism is supposed to work. That's the kind of analysis that is supposed to be left for dummies like us rambling on on message boards.
