What a load of nonsense. They have no obligation to cover anything and no one is forced to watch it. It's a commercial entity, they do what they decide they should.
Why you think someone in the Middle East would rely on an American channel to get information on a story like that is beyond me. There are plenty of other channels to choose from there who will cover it much better.
I wouldn't watch CNN for a breaking story in the Middle East in the same way that I wouldn't watch Al Jazeera for a breaking story in the US.

The coverage this morning with CNNI in the control room is exceptional as was mentioned a few posts ago. Of course they are a commercial entity and have the right to cover whatever they want, but there are two feeds of CNNI, possibly more. I’ve access to the US and EU feeds and they do go their separate ways at times. This story is massive, internationally and the EU feed should have stuck with the Beirut story not with Trump! And yes I watched that too - a massive story for the US!
Regarding CNNi’s despicable coverage after they were probably forced into simulcast with the US. This is unacceptable, and this is certainly not what their global audience want to watch.
Can you imagine being I the Middle East desperately wanting news and seeing Trump’s HBO interview? Disgusting!
I propose a petition to CNN about situations like this of which I’m more than happy to set up.
