CNN is currently utilizing the "Megxit" story as a similar ratings bonanza, mirroring their year-long obsession with the disappearance of flight MH370. The shift toward royal coverage provides a reprieve from the fatigue of impeachment news.

It is suggested that the media keeps a high-pitched focus on Trump's mental health not to remove him from office, but to energize the Democratic base for the 2018 midterms.

They speculate he will follow the same pattern of providing a "scoop" to a left-leaning publication, such as Rolling Stone, to maintain the meme of being "upstaged" by the President.
