Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Owens' thinking is so deeply sophistical, and this topic is so niche. I just can't imagine the mindset of someone who would be even marginally interested in her 8 part documentary on the sexuality of Emmanuel Macron's wife. Why does anyone on earth care about this?

It's all part of the larger GOP picture, she just used names of people with power and influence. Bad mistake. They have plans to destabilize and distract by focusing on all this bullshit and spamming all the feeds everywhere with it so it becomes a talking point. We should all reflect on how great life was going that we could bitch and moan about what to call ourselves and who we can be/love. We can't afford to worry about that stuff now, real shit is going on that needs our attention. We can worry about personal identity politics later.
