New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof said Sunday that the media is too obsessed with talking about President Trump in lieu of more pressing matters across the world.
“I do think that we have to acknowledge that there is so much more happening in the world than Donald Trump. And we in the media are essentially all Trump all the time,” Kristof said during an interview Sunday on CNN, while commenting on a column he wrote on the topic.

Kristoff said that he can’t help but talk about Trump sometimes, but wishes that news networks, including CNN, would focus on other important issues that are sometimes overlooked.
“The upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world,” Kristof continued. “And we complain that President Trump … isn’t paying attention to important things around the world, and we’re absolutely right, but that can also be said about us.”
