I wonder, too, if the difference isn't so much where the news is coming
from but whether or not they are using AI to create headlines or possibly
even article content.  Here in the US, there have been some boo-boos lately
with news outlets using AI that even got one of them in legal hotwater when
the AI accidentally claimed that someone was involved in something they had
nothing to do with.

Yeah, I see that some in other things he does... what if he is making them
angry so they do something he actually wants?

There is a lot of talk about minerals and resources, including water, that
you all have more of and that Trump would like more of.  He supposedly said
that Canada has "too much water," for example.

IIRC, that is also why Hitler became obsessed with invading Russia and some
of the other countries... Germany needed their coal and oil.
