As President he is supposed to be under constant scrutiny. The media obsession with Trump is nothing new, they have done this with every President. Trump however is the first to try to constantly try to discredit them with the possible exception of Nixon. Presidents of both major parties have taken media scrutiny in stride knowing they are only doing their job, so no, the media shouldn't lighten up, and I accept this includes right wing media as well.
Scrutiny for stuff that matters.
For example, I shouldn't be aware trump got an extra ice cream serving at a time when nobody else at the event did. At best, this should be TMZ level bullshit.
CNN covered it.
