This is just a small snippet of what goes on in media Norway. It is interesting to see that as elections draws closer, opposition parties are much clearer that they want better control over money donated to the PA and/or…

Dagbladet seems to be trapped in a parallel universe, where they just don’t get it – they are seriously out of touch with what ordinary Norwegians think. The dust has not settled on the cartoon issue, before they got themselves…

An art historian from the NTNU (where else?) has published his thoughts on the ongoing Dagbladet cartoons controversy. As expected, the learned historian turns to dirty rhetorical tricks to present the cartoon as an argument against child cruelty, and therefore…

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.…

Dagbladet responded to the harsh condemnations of its vile and anti-Semitic cartoon by claiming that they now have a situation similar to the one which occurred in Denmark after the publication of the Muhammed cartoons in Jyllandsposten in 2005. It…

Interestingly, as Syria continues to churn out victims, as Lebanon more and more spirals into a new civil war, Norwegian media continues to focus on Israel, as if that were the main problem. Of course, Norwegian mainstream media covers…

Is it just me, or does anybody else share the idea that people who wrap their whacky ideas in ethical robes, very often are deeply unethical, immoral and actually quite insensitive people. This suggestion by the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance…

Sales continue to drop, no amount of silly sex stuff or football nonsense can improve the commercial agony, even after they fired half the journalists. Perhaps Dagbladet’s editor think their fortunes can be reversed by serving some blood libelous cartoons…

just a quick snap shot to demonstrate that when the rest of the Middle East (which of course is being reported on) any minor sniffle in Israel immediately pushes the horrors in Syria or the disintegration of Lebanon (even Jordan)…
