How can CNN appear in a News feed?

Mr&Mrs G. got a reaction from The Nature Boy in Trump rage-tweets Google alleging search ‘bias
I use a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and live in Ireland (just for 3 more weeks) and for some reason it pumps out CNN for news articles. Never chose it dont know how to set it but it seems to like CNN. I dont believe I have ever seen any positive news story about Trump from CNN pop up on the phone.
I think my phone has a bad case of bias.
Despite being adivised here on the forum to vary my news sources I have found that the left makes it very easy to be conservative. I constantly disagree with my family here in Ireland because they are fed the same one sided media.

Mr&Mrs G. got a reaction from Voice of Reason in Mollie Tibbetts' death, immigration debate prompt organizers to postpone Iowa Latino festivals
To quote Mr Tibbets from the news article
“The Hispanic community are Iowans. They have the same values as Iowans,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re Iowans with better food.”
I am sure there are plenty of Hispanics who are Iowans, but an illegal immigrant is just an illegal nothing more. Mr Tibbets was not asked his opinion on illegal Hispanics, maybe the reporter would have gotten a different answer.
Also to quote from the news article...
"Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, has been charged with first-degree murder in her death and is being held in lieu of a $5 million cash-only bond. He is suspected of being in the United States illegally"
Suspected of being in the country illegally? Would it be so hard for the left leaning media to just say that he is illegal, why try to put a spin on it?

Mr&Mrs G. reacted to TBoneTX in America might be ready for democratic socialism. It’s not ready for the bill.
Actually, this might be the Democratic party these days. Listen to their spokespeople.
Can they back off from this, though, or is it too late?
They're counting on enough voters who believe the incessant attacks on Pres. Trump.
If they indeed flip the House & Senate, look out.

Mr&Mrs G. reacted to Dashinka in Mollie Tibbetts' death, immigration debate prompt organizers to postpone Iowa Latino festivals
Actually I don't see that. Most of the initial reply was saying that canceling these festivals was most likely an over-reaction. It did come to light that this guy in the OP did advocate for illegal immigration, so one wonders why the festivals were canceled? I am sure some may think it is all those big bad racist Nazi loving Iowans causing this, but maybe, just maybe the organizer thought it a bad time to advertise a festival where illegal immigrants may attend along with ICE.

Sorry I can't get behind the sentiments of the replies.
It's very simple that you should pledge allegiance to your flag, just because you have the right not to doesn't mean you shouldn't. I can't imagine there would be a time I would ever not be loyal to my Irish flag or national anthem and in time I hope to be able to say the same about the US.

I am aware but the US doesnt require a new citizen to give up their own countries citizenship.
Still don't understand why someone wouldn't want to pledge their allegiance, maybe I'll never get it. 🤔
But thank you for the explanation.

I think it will have wider implications for the Latino community, cancelling festivals sets a dangerous president. Respect to the Tibbets family may be their intention but it looks like they are scared of protests instead.

Agreed.
Uh, all of them?

That certainly crossed their minds. In addition, might most Latinos in Iowa be illegally present to begin with?
Except this isn't the U.S. in the 1800s, when anti-Irish sentiment was widespread and overt.

Mr&Mrs G. got a reaction from MsKayC in Beneficiary mother's name mix up
To get her own passport she would have had to submit a birth certificate. I bet this says Heather Shelly Ann, so just submit a photocopy of her passport also. You could also submit a photocopy of her birth certificate and include a cover note.
I would keep everything as it displays on her passport.

Mr&Mrs G. got a reaction from Dashinka in 100th London murder investigation launched as capital set for record number of killings after pensioner found dead
The amount of trucks that move daily from the UK back and forth across the channel by ship and the channel tunnel to mainland Europe causes them a lot of problems. A lot of companies are now fining the drivers of the trucks if an illegal is caught hiding on their vehicle, the companies themselves can also be fined by border control.
No matter how tough the crossing is made there is always some that will try, but the more deterrents the better.

I'm scared I have aged so much since I started this whole visa process and I look different to my passport photo, will I still be admitted?
Sorry thought I would get the snowflake post in before the forum goes nuts 🤯
