Norway (and Europe in general) get such a distorted view of the United States, with physical distance and leftwing biases combining to skew any news they do get on our country.

Keep this in mind whenever people like jergul or Seb claim they have a good grasp on what goes on here.

Here are more examples of this (from the UK, the Netherlands, and Brazil):

If you are a non-American and you have read local news coverage of the Rittenhouse trial, there is a very good chance that you were fed the lie that Rittenhouse shot three black people.

Why do you think this is the case?

The only person there with black heritage was Rittenhouse. Take a look at any picture to see.

I have said this many times.

Yeah, when I watch Euro news the narrative tropes have been baked in.

I Guess that isnt unique though. Most people probably would think foriegn coverage is different from being there.

What's different I think is that the scale and scope.Is any nations news more followed by the world as the US?

Love us or hate us, the worldnis obsessed with us.

” Norwegian media peddles fake news”

Most likely it was just sloppy journalism. A journalist did not do his/her job to verify and check the facts before writing his story.

The journalist probably only reported on what he had read elsewhere on the internet.

Actually, that is not journalism, it is lazy reporting and he/she should lose a month's salary because of it.

I think we can agree this happens ALOT.And is not journalism.Journalism requires independent verification.

He does look black.

So if the journalist would have done their job properly, they would have said that: ”Black kid shot 3 white people”.

"Jury acquits Gifford man who claimed self-defense after girlfriend killed by sheriff's SWAT team in 2017 raid"

I wonder why this story is getting so little coverage? Is it because he is black?

"Norwegian media peddles fake news"

It's only fake news when you don't correct yourself.

Fake news is when you say bullshit ... especially when you know it's bullshit ... and keep repeating the bullshit after getting corrected.

With the Norwegian story if the correction got the same attention as the original story then yeah just piss poor journalism. You should always have two verifiable sources at a minimum.

If the story was front page and the correction was somewhere in the back with obits then it ranks up there with fake news.
