The news cycle, when it comes to politics, influences a vast majority of the US voting public (and Wall Street). Not saying that's right or wrong. Just saying that's the way it is.
Trump only got elected because of the news cycle for crying out loud.
Crooked Hillary. Lock her up. Personal server. Repeal and replace Obamacare. Make America great again. All part of a nightly news cycle during the leadup to the election.
Trying to dismiss it, or ignore it is pretty naive when it comes to politics.
Bringing Beiber into it? Sometimes you grasp so hard at straws to try and make a comeback it's beyond ridiculous.
What's going to be the headline on most newspapers tomorrow - worldwide - and what's going to be the leading story on all of the morning news shows. What's going to completely distract Trump's middle east trip?
Like it or not. It's the current reality. Again, the vast majority of Americans pay very close attention to the news.
