There has to be a method in NCR's madness to avoid reporting on the raging national issue in Ireland of the fate of a women and children's hospital, whether the state will prevail with allowing full medical options for women without interference of RC ethos.  Instead, JM delivers items of obscure concern here, like "Italy Prepares Bridge Loan to Keep Alitalia Flying," among others.
I raised this earlier when CODAY gave a morning briefing without mentioning same issue.  One reply emphasized that NCR was "National" not International, even though the bulk of Denis' selected items were international!  Seems NCR is confused with Morning Briefing column.  Why an International review by JM when DC provides similar, and both ignore Ireland's current burning issue?
