After an initial deluge of stories, over the last three years, about the quirky-but-likeable President of the United States, Donald Trump, things seem to have settled down at last, and the media is now resorting to different tactics including inventing stories that are more ridiculous every day.
Mr Trump is keeping his head down, however, and getting on with business.
Whilst he is, reporters everywhere are delving deeper and deeper to grab their readers' attentions.
For example, in Germany, one news source reported that:
"Trump has never listened to a Kraftwerk album!"
'Die Welt' claimed that:
"Trump at Berchtesgaden to see Führer!"
In France, a leading Paris daily led with:
"Trump mange le rosbif!"
In Spain, El Pais reported:
"Donald Trump threatens to put an end to bullfighting!"
And in Italy, rumor had it that:
"Trump close to shutting down Cosa Nostra!"
The UK media took a different tack:
"Brexit decision delayed until 2030!"
In the US, there was much speculation in the media as to how the words 'collusion' and 'redacted' had seamlessly passed into the language of ordinary folks, and become part of everyday speech.
Meanwhile, behind the Iron Curtain, all was quiet.
