Trump polluting the news headlines


For many years now, Google News has been my main source of information, because the algorithm stacks and orders headlines from multiple news sources quite nicely. Since Trump was inaugurated, I have had the subjective impression that his name is taking over most of the headlines (he is newsworthy, of course, but still). I did a quick n-gram check on the headline anchors, and his name is indeed taking many of the headline spots.
