The Europeans don’t have much room to laugh. From what I understand, they have about the same media coverage as we do .... mostly left leaning.

I’ve lived in 4 European countries. It’s worse over there. The media is even more beholden to governments and bureaucrats.

Denmark News, eh? They know how to deal with Reporters there.

Danish inventor is charged with killing and dismembering reporter Kim Wall on his submarine.

It's probably true that fake news is more obvious from a distance, and phony anything invites ridicule.

It's also true that Europe is sinking as its very foundations are undermined by scorn of truth. In some European nations, it is a crime, punishable by severe penalties, to speak the truth. How could anything be more absurd?

Probably because our media over-does the hate Trump coverage and their bias is so obvious.

Has your son-in-law said anything about the Muslims?

From what i've been reading, saying anything bad about Muslims, even the truth, can get you arrested.

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.

I remember that.

The media is our greatest enemy.
