Trump teases major reveal during White House address and more top headlines

Fox News' morning roundup led with Trump "teasing a major reveal" and then, true to form, gave you nothing else to chew on. No reveal, no context, no hint at what's coming. Just a headline built to get a click and a promise that something is happening somewhere in the building.

We get it, that's the news business now. Everything is a trailer for a movie that may or may not exist. But it's worth noticing how much of the daily political diet has become anticipation dressed up as information. You finish the paragraph knowing exactly as much as you did before you started, which is to say nothing, except now you're primed to tune in later to find out what you were promised.

None of this is really about Trump. It's about a media environment, on the right as much as anywhere, that has learned people will click on "major" and "teases" without needing an actual verb attached. If the announcement matters, it'll matter when it happens. If it doesn't, we'll have wasted a morning waiting on a press release that turned out to be a photo op.

We'd rather wait for the substance than cover the suspense. Tell us what he said. We can decide for ourselves whether it was major.
