Once again, those Scandinavians are at it again.

quote:

Three Norwegian brothers have been arrested on suspicion of a “terrorist bombing” at the US embassy in Oslo that caused minor damage at the weekend but no injuries.

The police prosecutor Christian Hatlo told a press conference that the brothers, who were Norwegian citizens of Iraqi origin, had been arrested in Oslo and that police were investigating the motive.


Bonus: The Gaurdian has this at the bottom.

At this unsettling time
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you close this tab, we want to ask if you could support the Guardian at this crucial time for journalism in the US.

In his first presidency, Donald Trump called journalists the enemy; a year into his second term, it’s clear that this time around, he’s treating us like one.

That is simply a crazy level of spin in that headline. Wow.

I don't understand your melt

They are Norwegian citizens and the article even clarified their ethnicity for people like you

What is factually incorrect about that?

I'll donate to the cause, right after they publish a full two-party independent audit of the sources of their financing for the last 10 years.

They are also Iraqi citizens. Why didn’t they use that in the title?

ETA- I’m assuming they’re Iraqi citizens too. Iraqi origin doesn’t sound like it’s just their ethnicity.

People like us understand that people should not be citizens of a country they don’t assimilate into

Cultural suicide

It’s not factually incorrect, but it is dishonest journalism. The headline should capture the main point. Many people read only headlines. Those three had many characteristics that could have been the focus of the headline - their nationality, gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, etc. Their Norwegian citizenship was chosen as the most salient. Do you believe it was the most salient characteristic of those three? Of course not.

This headline shows why Trump is correct.

From Hungary to Russia, authoritarian regimes have made silencing independent media one of their defining moves. Sometimes outright censorship isn’t even required to achieve this goal. In the United States, we have seen the administration apply various forms of pressure on news outlets in the year since Trump returned to office.

But the Guardian is free from billionaire ownership and free to spread their brand of leftist propaganda.

Buried in the story, but they damned sure didn't mention it in their headline and that's the point. For the masses who just read headlines or only lightly skim the story, they'll miss that point and that is by design.

The Scandinavian countries were largely homogenous prior to the invasion of Northern African and Middle Eastern military-aged males claiming "immigrant" status. Those groups are almost exclusively responsible for the growth in violent crimes across those countries while their governments bewilderingly seek to do everything in their power to hide that fact.

It’s misleading on purpose. They’re Iraqi brothers. You know ppl of color. But the headline of the article wants you think that white brothers bombed the embassy. Don’t be dense.

“Typical muslim terrorists terrorizing again” should be the title.

A lot of people just read headlines and you and the media know that. Don't play stupid.
