Same in Canada. The CBC was particularly egregious. The "World" section was just the "US Politics" section. I stopped reading; but, of course, like all Canadians, I have kept funding it.
Because trump sells views and ads on coverage worldwide. He was a goldmine for the media, and they made sure to make the most of it.
Now that Trump is no longer the US President, and is banned from social media, I've definitely noticed a significant decrease in US domestic politics in my world news (mostly BBC and Guardian)
The CBC produces lots of other quality content, though.
I miss 2010 in America. Politics was mostly an after thought on slow days in social discussions. It was so much more civil without everyone being primed to the teeth on social media with anger.
Trump’s presidency brought a lot of underground resentment (across the political spectrum) out into the open. It might turn out to be a good thing that people are having these discussions now instead of covering them up. It definitely feels less comfortable, though.
Yup. I was up in Canada visiting friends last year and the first 20 min (out of 30 min) of the CBC national news was Trump coverage or coverage of US politics in general.
The last 10 minutes were domestic issues.
Really amazing.
To be fair, the rest of the world's activities seemed fairly stable than the random events regularly occurring under the Trump administration.
By comparison certainly. It was the best drama in town.
