Essays on the decay of truth (Click titles or paste URL) Can we really believe the self-proclaimed objectivity of the established news media, when they see themselves as the corrective to biased social news and alternative facts? Or do the media also operate with what one may call alternative facts, by placing a magnifying glass over just the facts that suits a certain political and ideological agenda? Creating a truth that caters to certain opinion, ignoring that the magnified truths may conceal bigger lies.

Medie overskrifter i anledning af at Tyskland overtager formandskabet ”Merkel sætter Europa først” (Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten) ”EU med liebe Angela of liebe Ursula i front” (Politiken) ”Med Merkel ved roret er der mindst tre gode grunde til at tro på Europas genopretning” (Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten) ”I Tysklands navn” (Weekendavisen) Program for Det tyske Formandskab. Prioriteterne for det tyske formandskab er drevet af dets motto: "Sammen om Europas genopretning." Formandskabets program fokuserer på 4 hovedområder: • overvinde konsekvenserne af coronaviruskrisen på lang sigt samt økonomisk og social genopretning • et stærkere og mere innovativt Europa • et fair Europa • et bæredygtigt Europa • et sikkert Europa med fælles værdier • et stærkt Europa i verden Det tyske formandskab for EU-Rådet vil fokusere direkte på at overvinde covid-19-pandemien. Det skal ske ved at bekæmpe spredningen af virusset, støtte genopretningen af europæisk økonomi og styrke den sociale samhørighed i Europa. Tyskland forpligter sig til at opnå dette via godkendte fælles aktioner, europæisk solidaritet og fælles værdier.
