Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Treacherous De Telegraaf Going Berserk

by Oui Mon Nov 17th, 2025 at 06:19:00 PM EST

The Dutch incarnation of Murdoch's Wall Street Journal (WSJ) ... unlimited propaganda for extreme right-wing policy and wholly benefiting the very rich and representing corporate Western powers. Very, very ugly ... devastated by losing a majority in October general election ... 🗳️

De Telegraaf: historic collaboration with Nazi Germany during WWII and occupation with extermination of Jewish citizens and opposition of Dutch resistance groups.

Attacking centrist parties in forming a new coalition as it is their first call, Rob Jetten (D66), assuring a stable government with a broad support from parliament (Tweede Kamer).

Former NATO SG Warns Europe Is Threatened by America's MAGA

Translation:
Mark Koster: Twan Huys in Buitenhof represents everything that is wrong with the NPO (Dutch National Broadcaster)


Another rightwing columnist with Iranian roots ... living in exile?

Translation:
Afshin Ellian this way of doing politics will ultimately harm D66

Very, very pro-Israel, anti-Islam and no problem with Gaza genocide or apartheid. VOC

Display:
Damage of false reporting irreversible as seen in Dutch politics of forming a new coalition.

NRC corrects reporting about informant Hans Wijers

We are correcting our reporting. This concerns articles published on Thursday, November 13th, Friday, November 14th, and Saturday, November 15th.

We apologize to the reader. We have also apologized to Mr. Wijers (D66) [key appointee to form a new coalition].

This outcome is extremely painful for NRC, but necessary for our careful, reliable, and fact-based journalism. You can expect more from NRC.

We previously promised to review our handling of sensitive news and refine it where necessary, to ensure that sufficient time is always taken to weigh the facts and provide context. We reiterate that promise here, and we will do everything we can in the coming period to live up to your trust.

In the past I had a subscription for daily delivery ... until I noticed a hidden agenda, running vendettas on politicians. I ended the subscription ... corporate ownership in now in the hands of a Belgian corporation of rightwing signature with influence on content published or censored.
