CANADA PERSPECTIVE
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING: COLE ALLEN TARGETED TRUMP AND CABINET MEMBERS
DOMINANT ANGLE
Violence creates unexpected truce between Trump and American press
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
The Globe and Mail highlights the irony of the situation: an event intended to feature Trump's satirical attacks on the media transformed into a moment of rare solidarity. The president praised journalists for their 'responsible coverage' and spoke warmly of the correspondents' association president CBS's Weijia Jiang. The National Post reports that the shooter 'did not actively cooperate' with investigators, according to interim Attorney General Todd Blanche, who confirmed the suspect was due in federal court Monday, April 27. Canadian media emphasizes the fragility of this Trump-press truce, likening it to the duration of an ephemeral ceasefire.
