Reuters Tries to Rationalize Barring of Leading Romanian Presidential Candidate from Ballot
Newsbusters ^ | March 11, 2025 | P.J. Gladnick

You could almost think that it is perfectly rational for a supposedly democratic country to bar a leading presidential candidate from appearing on the ballot if you read Monday's Reuters report, "Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu barred from Romania presidential election re-run."

Here is Reuters acting as if it is normal to destroy a democratic election in order to save it.

Liberals in America are green with envy. They wish the had simply barred Trump from the ballot. OOOPS! They actually tried to do that but, fortunately, the Supreme Court is still not owned by USAID as the courts in Romania seem to be.

This is getting out of hand, the people are trying to get a voice in government in France, Germany, UK, Romania and the regimes in power keep denying it. Feels like playing with fire, at some point the frustration will become more than just ‘oh drat, well I guess we’ll just accept the status quo again’.

I think we should remove far left candidates from our elections. Their ideas are an abomination to the Constitution of the USA.

Europeans scream about democracy until the vote doesn’t go there way and then they try to ban it. Witness France, Germany and now Romania...

Romania is a NATO member nation. The US needs to get out of NATO immediately. The longer we remain, we are basically condoning this kind of crap.

Who owns Reuters?
And I don’t mean metaphorically.

The riots are in the millions. Thinking that this may not go well for the globalist elites. Go long on popcorn!

Actually, Reuters and AP are the real culprits in the left wing tilt of our news.
I while ago, I checked them and realized, that all the media are just parroting them.
So, I would think, that fixing them may fix most of our media problems.
If they turned objective, I would think, most of the media will turn that way too.
Most media people are dummy and do not have resources to check on what they are reporting, if Reuter reported MAGA, they will parrot MAGA too!

Me too, sometimes. I wonder whether Trump will nix that giant base. I hope so.

Sorry to say but I believe that almost ALL of our government officials are either in on it or are being blackmailed due to actual or contrived bad behavior. The only way I can see to solve this is term limits because no one is going to find and hold the blackmailers accountable.
