President Trump blasted a tweet Saturday morning accusing Barack Obama of bugging Trump in Trump Tower. This is a very strong statement. If true, this would blow past Watergate for presidential corruption. That scandal brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon.
Of course the media has jumped all over this. That is what they're supposed to do. But much of the media attention is focused on how outrageous Trump's claim is. Real reporters would be investigating the accusation to determine if it's true or not. That cannot be completed in a weekend. It would involve actual work, which many in the media try to avoid. Yes, there are a handful of reporters who are digging to find the truth, but the overall message from the media is outrage at such an insane allegation.
Real reporting is dying a slow, agonizing death.
Of course the overwhelming anti-Trump bias of the media is driving this diversion. Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave.
That's my opinion...
