The American workforce, particularly those in government roles, are bracing for a significant shift in their work routines.
Under the Biden administration, many enjoyed the luxury of remote work, a perk that is now threatened under the new leadership.
The change is not limited to government employees alone; the mainstream legacy media is also feeling the heat. The most challenging aspect for them is the task of reporting the numerous victories of the man they have consistently criticized.
According to RedState, the legacy media, which was relatively dormant during Biden's tenure, is now in overdrive, scrutinizing every word uttered by Trump and every executive order he signs. The media's fervor in dissecting Trump's actions, compared to their lax attitude towards Biden, is a glaring double standard.
The initial fortnight of Trump's administration has been a whirlwind of activity. Even his ardent supporters, who are thrilled with his America First agenda and the constant winning, are struggling to keep up. For them, it's a pleasant kind of exhaustion. On the other hand, the legacy media, accustomed to Biden's early morning 'lids,' are finding it challenging to keep pace. These media personnel, who reveled in the leisurely pace of Biden's administration, are now either incapable, ill-prepared, or simply too lethargic to keep up with Trump's dynamic leadership. Their disdain for Trump only adds to their predicament.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt aptly summarized the situation, stating, There is so much winning out of the Trump White House that the mainstream legacy media cant keep up with it." During Biden's presidency, he gave just enough interviews to keep the media at bay. However, as his health visibly declined, the Biden White House shielded him from the media, cabinet members, donors, pollsters, and Democrat lawmakers.
Now, the same media personnel who once claimed that Biden was running circles around them are now overwhelmed by Trump's relentless pace. To add insult to injury, they are forced to watch their nemesis consistently triumph. Even seasoned journalists like Gail Collins of The New York Times and Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal have expressed their exhaustion and frustration with the current administration.
The legacy media is so inundated that they barely have time to critique Trump's actions before they yield successful results. A recent New York Times headline read, Trumps Flood the Zone Strategy Leaves Opponents Gasping in Outrage."
This refers to a strategy coined by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, which involves overwhelming Democrats and other opposition by "flooding the zone" with initiatives.
Despite the early stage of his administration, Trump is acutely aware of his limited time and has no plans to decelerate. As for the legacy media, it remains to be seen how they will cope with the next four years. They may need to rely on a steady supply of energy drinks or perhaps seek an intervention with Dr. Phil.
The legacy media's influence is waning. Their ability to dictate the narrative has been shattered. Trump declared war on the media in 2016, and today, he has effectively vanquished them. Their relevance in the current political landscape is questionable at best.
