Varadkar says he sympathises with Trump on media
CypTaoiseach Leo Varadkar has said Donald Trump’s criticism of the media was one of the few things he could sympathise with the US president about.
...
Mr Varadkar, who was in New York to launch Ireland’s bid to win a seat on the United Nations Security Council, said the media was not interested in the truth but in the story, according to sources familiar with the conversation.
He was particularly critical of the political press. He claimed political journalists were more interested in gossip at Dáil Éireann than in the workings of Government, describing their interest in whispers in the corridors.
...
One guest said Mr Varadkar’s remarks were “very serious” and that they “came away really quite freaked out”.
“There was shock,” said another source describing the audience reaction to some to his remarks.
