WATCH: CNN newsreader breathlessly runs through Donald Trump’s last, chaotic month

This is impressive, and terrifying.

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin had to pause half-way through for a drink of water.

They may be ‘fake news’ (his words, definitely not ours) but this is some quality work by the CNN news team, and most notably anchor Brooke Baldwin.

Following the firing of his chief strategist and noted imp of Satan, Steve Bannon, the newsreader put together a three minute segment simply listing everything Trump had done in the last month to bring his presidency into disrepute.

It’s quite a list.

Baldwin clearly isn’t used to delivering such a long monologue straight to camera.

At times she struggles to keep up, and at one point needs to take a drink of water to compose herself, but she wades through the firings, the hirings, the firings, the tirades, the abuses of power, the winery bragging, the firings and the neo-Nazi sympathising with no small amount of style.

This is our kind of news reporting.
