I noticed that CNN ran very little of the Trump and Michael Martin, Irish PM's press conference today. BBC, CTV News Channel and CBC News Network all had extensive coverage with the questions from the press. Odd that CNN almost ignored this.

As a news outlet, no matter how left or right leening you are, you should always carry a speach or conference of the aposing political party, No matter how dumb and far right the leader is.
CNN now is more of a far-left talk and entertainment channel.
Its a shell of what it once was.
Our news channels like CBC and CTV are better.
CNN should learn something from CBC with giving a voice to the party on the right because its a news event.

Wonder if CNN will cover the arrival of a French nuclear submarine now currently stationed in Halifax harbour on the Canadian east coast?

It was odd that CNN didn't carry much the of the conference since it was mostly about the tariffs, Ukraine peace agreement, cutting of education department staff, tariffs on the EU etc. etc. Of course all of Trumps answers were about how good things are going to be and putting down, Biden, Obama, democrats, Canada, the EU, and what a mess he inherited.

The Irish PM did speak and was trying very hard to be diplomatic not to offend Trump or JD Vance. Even after Trump had commented how Ireland for took away most of the US pharmaceutical manufacturing.
