Tuesday night brought TV2 news related to the coverage of the Republican National Convention a long

The accelerating, U.S. election is a welcome opportunity to get cemented one's prejudices, about Americans in general, but perhaps particularly for Republicans, whose political views are often far removed from Danish voters, whose support base sometimes stand out in a way that is difficult to understand . If you have to put it kindly.
Thank you now for example. the recent history of the Republican Senate jcpennies candidate Todd Akin, who is opposed to abortion and who in an interview was knitted to a noose around his own political throat. Not just because he happened to say "legitimate" front "rape" in which he presumably meant something else, but just as much because he advocated for views on the female body and medicines that say the least, unorthodox. Again, if you will, a little friendly.
But even with that in mind, it is-if one is very interested in American politics-sometimes wonder how easily Danish media by throwing all the self-discipline and self-criticism overboard when it comes to Republicans and American politics. Danish journalists who would normally seek to remain aloof and analytical to the Danish political parties seem more than willing to engage in sometimes rampant caricaturing of Republicans, it seems, often for no apparent resistance from his own conscience or editorial managers. One could write entire jcpennies books about the examples, but a small daily topical example to illustrate:
Tuesday night brought TV2 news related to the coverage of the Republican National Convention a longer feature jcpennies about just abortion issues and with reference to the aforementioned Todd Akin and presented thus: "Romney can not avoid abortion talk. Not only Hurricane Isaac teases Mitt Romney. Also from the ranks, he is distracted ... ". The host Divya Das presented jcpennies a nice little portrait of a female Republican, Ann Stone, jcpennies who leads a group of Republicans, Republicans jcpennies for Choice, which (unlike the majority of the delegates at the party icon waited) is a legal right to abortion. Nice story, but after the feature gave Das ball on to TV2's U.S. correspondent, Jesper Steinmetz, jcpennies and then asked him why "she should not speak at the convention?".
The question was really more out of place than to ask why the Democrats do not do their former. running mate, Senator Joe Lieberman to speak at their convention next week. Yes, you actually have not even invited him. Lieberman is extremely critical of the Democrats' jcpennies foreign policy and supported in 2008, John McCain, but he is still someone while Ann Stone strictly speaking, is a total "nobody" in American politics, and why on earth would Republicans use their convention to exhibit internal disagreement and division? In other words, a pseudo-journalism problem.
But it was only where the wheel began to fall off TV2's reportage cart. Steinmetz then explained that Republicans would like to focus on the economy and not, for example. abortion and then it went wrong:
"And therefore jcpennies damage is also party to the example. Today it has emerged that guy Todd Akin ... Congressman who wants to be elected to the Senate ... who had interesting opinions on abortion last week, he has recently stated that if just babies, infants receive breast milk, well, then they do not homosexuals. The kind of interesting observations are helping to shed grit in winning machine. "
But ... really? A Republican who believes that breast milk "cure" infants jcpennies of homosexuality? It sounds good enough almost too good to be true, and for most things that make it apply, jcpennies it usually indicates that they are also not true.
Akin, who has said more than enough, have probably never touched that subject. It circulated in return Tuesday profusely on Twitter, where people referred to it as a true story, based on a article from The Daily Currant. That is a satirical website with conscious pseudo-news, some a la the excellent Danish Rococo item.
About TV2 News had the story only from Twitter or just did not understand that The Daily Currant is satirical, it is hard to say. One fact is clear: The fact that you had not done his journalistic homework but instead conveyed something that was completely fictitious and without either research or reservation. Period. In turn, built TV2 News an entire feature-from intro to end-up on that this was a problem for Mitt Romney and the Republicans.
It fit the hand in glove. A bit like when you like big kid pleased to see that reality fits so perfectly to one's very stodgy attitudes that you do not need to check facts or revise jcpennies views.
To say that Lieberman is still "Democrat" because he cooperates with the Democrats in the Senate (or perhaps r
