[QUOTE=Fraqrat;195498]Itâs fantastic how you always tell us about things going on in our country as if none of us watch or read any news (real or fake).[/QUOTE]
Not everybody on this forum are Americans, or may not catch the same news as you or me.
BTW; If I remember right you are quoting facts about Norway from time to time as well.
I donât treat anything I read on the internet about Norway as fact. If you take it that way itâs just to have fun with you. I donât live there and outside of a handful of Norge Techs Iâve met during shipyard periods I donât know anyone who lives there. So I admit I donât know anything other than what I read and I take that with a grain of salt. You constantly post links about what goes on here like itâs fact and you have a full picture of how things are in America. You donât know shit except what the author of the particular article thinks. This is the larger part of the âfake newsâ and âalternative factsâ nonsense everyone is consumed with. It appears a vast majority of news sites are posting opinions and editorials with factoids in them as unbiased news when itâs far from it.
I take your postings about Norway as just fun as well and usually answer in the same tone. Sometime I do bring you links to facts about Norway, or anywhere else, but not without a critical assessment of those âfactsâ. Like you I have a healthy scepticism about what I read on the internet, or anywhere else.

As to the links I post to articles on American and other medias, I am fully aware of the biases and political bents that exists between the various sources, as I assume you and other informed Americans are. I take it that you make your own judgement on the opinions expressed and reliability of âfactsâ presented by those media I link to.
For myself I have NEVER claimed to know EVERYTHING about anything, but I do have opinions about most things. Being an avid ânews junkieâ I have been reading and watching a variety of news and opinions from a wide range of sources for many years. I form my own opinions from that and from talking and listening to people from all over the world, incl. Americans from all walks of life and all levels of education.
So you just keep on ribbing me with âfactsâ about Norway and Iâll keep yâll up to date on the goings on in Norway, in USA and elsewhere, based on more or less reliable sources for you to make up your own mind what is âalternative factâ, what is âfake newsâ and what is unbiased reporting.
