Really? Give me a break. News would be the biggest issues that affect your audience any given day. Last time I checked 800 Americans died of Covid yesterday while our democracy and voting rights are being taken away.
But sure....its 'news' about what happens 9000 miles away that 'might' affect a few Americans. They lead with Afghanistan and devote most of their attention to finding every bad story they can report there.
CNN International should carry it, that is fine, but CNN US, no way they are trying to report the actual news. Its for ratings.
