Some subtle changes to the choice of stories on the overnight hours of "CNN Newsroom". For the past few days, it seems to me that CNNi has started to treat the U.S. like any other country in the world, instead of giving special attention to U.S. politics, and a much broader range of international stories are covered as a result. Here's the rundown for "CNN Newsroom" yesterday (6am GMT, March 4), where you can see that the only U.S. story is buried along with COVID stories from other countries. As an international viewer based in Asia, this change is very much welcomed.
