In the wake of the shameful Dagbladet cartoon, some journalists are questioning why this cartoon, which has caused such international condemnation, has not triggered even the slightest debate about our “satirical culture”, which more than once has landed us in…

Dagbladet thought they were oh so clever to publish their ‘defense’ of their tasteless and wildly anti-Semitic cartoon, and claim that the reactions received were similar to the Islamist rage caused by the Muhammed cartoons. Of course, it backfired. Badly.…

Today we lost a giant in Norwegian politics, conservative politician Jo Benkow. A man of conviction and integrity, he fought tirelessly for social justice, for the inclusion of minorities, and for a better and more open society. All of…
