(Some people call it “Pallywood“)
Via 10news.dk, translated from Aftenposten:
After several hours of discussion, the Broadcasting Council decided to criticise NRK’s (Norwegian State Broadcasting) Middle East coverage. …
After several hours of discussion the council came to the conclusion that NRK has not been critical enough concerning Hamas, and that they have failed to distinguish war propaganda and verifiable information, and NRK should provide more information about the causes of the conflict. …
Former foreign editor at Aftenposten, Kjell Dragnes, defended NRK with the words, “Do not shoot the pianist if you do not like music. NRK’s coverage has been good. It does not differ from international media such as BBC and CNN.”
The Broadcasting Council believes that NRK has been insufficiently critical about Hamas’ role.

Robert, one former AP correspondent said that most of the reporters believe their job is to report on how Israel is oppressing the Palestinians–not report the “news”. That’s the narrative that “sells” back home.

“Doesn’t differ from CNN and BBC” sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
Charli Main says
Palliwood producers are masters of creating smoke and mirror videos. They have taken the “one picture is worth a thousand words” concept to an art form.
All it takes is one video clip of a “poor, victimised” pallikid, wrapped in a blanket, being rushed into an ambulance, surrounded by hysterical, screaming palliwomen, ripping their hair out and they have the global MSM hooked.

And the Norwegian State Broadcasting still wonders why Anders went bonkers.
Could it be their complicity with anything Muslim?

“Do not shoot the pianist if you do not like music.” That does not apply here. News is supposed to inform people of current events, not entertain them.
