Re: Spinning the German left swing (4.00 / 7)

With what spin was the election commented in your media, if at all?

(We already saw another example from afew.)

*Traitor*, n.
A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.

I hardly listen to MS-media anymore, so cannot tell. Just called to say: what a magnificently enlightning article!

Added observation: when Metatone asked me to do this diary, he said the Times piece is a prime example of Foreign Correspondent's Disease. But from the quote in the Salon, I thought this is more an example of ignorance from afar. Reading into the article, it's possibly both: local reporter with FCD, desk editor with absolute cluelessness.
