RTE

RTÉ is Ireland's national public broadcaster, owned and funded by the Irish state through a mix of license fees, government grants, and advertising. Its news coverage generally reflects mainstream Irish and European liberal-democratic values, placing it to the center-left on social and economic issues. On the Trump administration's second term, RTÉ's reporting has consistently framed U.S. tariffs and foreign policy shifts as damaging to Ireland and Europe, with little counterbalancing advocacy for those policies.
