Pretty big story, and not a peep from MSM because it is counter to their agenda. This also was reflected in the fact that almost no one here was aware of the Australian Covid interment camps or Trudeau seizing assets of political opponents. Something is going to have to give soon.

Ugh...a simple google search turned up plenty of stories regarding this from what you call MSM. Be better.

How it was reported is significantly different considering those two links are from far right sources and ABC and Washington Post are on the other spectrum.

My assumption based on that, and like most everything else, is that the actual story is somewhere in the middle.

I'm going to the Netherlands next week to visit some friends. She has yet to mention this. This is the first I've heard of it.

Another friend I have from Australia, who contracted COVID while she was physically in Australia, didn't mention anything about being taken to an internment camp either.

I'm not saying there's NO truth to these stories. I'm just saying that PERHAPS they are somewhat exaggerated. Just a little bit. Maybe.

OK, so I use Safari, but I’m game, maybe Google turned up something different. Nope. It was not reported by ABC, CBS or NBC. You just like to argue for the sake of arguing.

Either these things are happening or they are not. They are, and are not being reported. That is my only point.

Looks like some MSM is starting to take more notice in the Netherlands since police shot at a tractor a day ago. Attached is a pretty good article from the AP last week. From research I’ve done, seems like the more aggressive protests started around June 10th when the new regulations were proposed. Looks like protests actually started in fall of 2019.

What I don’t understand is why are they doing this to an extremely important part of their economy? Not to mention the millions who rely and consume these products. Oh yea, those jobs that will be affected as well.

What is known, this will have some impact on the 54,000 agricultural businesses and the billions of exports. What we don’t know is the actual impact on climate change. I’m all for helping the environment, but come on!

If that was you're ONLY point, then I guess you now have no point.

Exactly - that was my original point... Instead, we get into a pissing match on whether the facts come from right wing or left wing news outlets.

Apparently, some on this board have a hard time discerning facts from hyperbole, and therefore resort to labeling.... So sad that these people apparently were educated at Xavier but came away with an inability to think critically.

That's not what you call "the pissing match" was about at all and you know it, or you have reading comprehension issues that rise to a whole new level. Lying once again. Shocking!

You got that right.... He gets off on attacking conservatives and conservative media, while telling us he's not a liberal....
