I’ve heard the same...especially in Germany.
The German media refused to report on mass rapes in Cologne because they were carried out by Muslims......err........I mean “refugees”. When the embarrassing questions started being asked about why they were saying nothing while the British and American media were widely reporting it, they straight up said they were afraid reporting it would embarrass the government and cause government “refugee” policy to be criticized.
We have big problems with an extremely biased and dishonest MSM.....but Jeezus! Even our media isn’t THAT bad.
