13. If the president were a doughnut, they'd have to cover it as well.

If they just ignored him, there would be too much empty air space to fill up. Let's imagine an honest broadcast:
"The unsteady and seemingly confused president, being propped up by his handlers was transported to a meeting where under normal circumstances, some kind of negotiation is supposed to take place. Who is actually capable of and authorized by the administration to negotiate remains unknown. More of the same for tomorrow and the next day and then the next. Be sure to check in tomorrow where we will very likely be reporting more of the same. In the meantime, we take you to Kukla, Fran and Ollie."
