Even if it's no surprise, it's still newsworthy.

When we landed on the moon, people tuned in, but it was planned for years. Something being expected does not make it less worthy of being news.

Still missing the that this isnt a moon landing, this is a dictator taking office. Why is it news worthy that hes appointing ppl who support him.

If he wasn't appointing ppl who haven't bent the knee fine. Otherwise this is media feeding off the same thing that propelled him back into office. If you think the right and far right wasn't the only groups influenced then you may need to rethink your information sources.

This is a dictator taking office doing the things that were predicted but he denied. Drawing attention to that is newsworthy.

It's why the Washington post was criticized. Their marketing was that truth does in darkness and then decided to not endorse.

Bringing light to the lies makes it harder for them to keep fooling everyone. Yes, attention on Trump's silly antics and bluster is what he feeds off but drawing attention to his actions that actually do have consequences is not the same thing
