Government-funded legacy media outlets are fawning over Prime Minister Mark Carney after his brief meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Although Carney was unable to achieve a reprieve from tariffs as originally intended and was instead confronted by Trump on Canada becoming the ‘51st state,’ several media outlets attempted to spin the meeting as a resounding success.
Positive headlines dominated the frontpages of legacy media outlets, emphasizing Carney while burying Trump’s insistence that he would not budge on the trade war.
