Here in Norway the state media leaders openly admit that their coverage of American politics is guided by personal preferences and political agendas. Our state media is called NRK. The statements from former NRK chief Thor Gjermund Eriksen and the former head of the Broadcasting Council Per Edgar Kokkvold... about their coverage of the American presidential election in 2016 are quite shocking. We are witnessing a systematic manipulation of the public conversation. The consequence is that the Norwegian people largely have had their perception of American politics shaped by a one-sided, controlled narrative.

Helt utolig å se på dette. Hvem tror de at de er, heve seg selv opp som tankepoliti for befolkningen. Men dessverre er jeg nok ikke overrasket.

Ja, jeg snakket med Hans Rustad fra @DocumentNo om dette fenomenet da han var gjest i podkasten min.

Sjekk denne stortingsmeldingen, @Silje_Schevig . Der forteller regjeringen til @jensstoltenberg at den konspirerer med medier og utvalgte organisasjoner i form av "politisk påvirkningsarbeid".

Ene personen i panelet: "Vi skal ikke dekke nyhetene om Trump nøytralt" Den andre personen i panelt: "Vi skal styrke demokratiet" Absurd!

Husk Gro om «vi har snart ikke kontroll på hva folk blir fortalt» Og Erna’s «nå skal vi ha mer ensretting».

Det er helt vanvittig. Særlig når man ser hvordan det har utviklet seg

Hvis NRK ikke har som hensikt å være nøytrale, men jobber for 1 side av det politiske spekteret, så har de ikke livets rett. Legg de ned.

trist at vi alle er tvunget til å betale for dette her

Han sier i bunn og grunn at han syns mer enn halve USA er sinnsyke og at den folkevalgte presidenten er en vits. Det er en drøy uttalelse. NRK er ikke til å stole på og er selv blitt en vits sammen med VG, Nettavisen mm. Det er mest boomers generasjonen som sluker propagandaen som pumpes, mens de unge i større grad skjønner hva som foregår

Even outside NRK, most media stories about the USA here have long been translated directly from what we now know was USAID funded media such as Politico. Often they have mistranslated material because the authors themselves were fooled by the propaganda. For example, during the Russiagate storyline, some Norwegian outlets claimed the 2016 election was a Russian "datahack", which American publications didn't claim. When they said Russia "hacked" the election, they were of course inviting readers to believe it was a data hack, but their cover for saying that was that buying advertisements (they were both for and against Trump policies but they ignored the against) was a *metaphorical* hack of the democratic process.
