And, the below is certainly not robust data, but also the Google Trends support my observations. “Trump Greenland” beats everything but bird flu by more than 3x right now.

    Partly i think the issue is constant news cycle.

    If we limit companies ability to report on issues once and then amend rather then beating their dead horses it might get better

        I think the solution is just journalists with higher standards.

        Headlines should read:

        Trump tries to distract nation from his CRIMINAL sentencing by making absurd claims about Greenland.

        And the reporting should follow the same line. Mention the absurd claims and then go RIGHT back to reporting on the thing he doesn’t want everyone talking about.
