<i>Curious to know why it hurts!</i><p>It hurts because the claim of conformist media (german: &quot;gleichgeschaltete Medien&quot;) is a standard neonazi narrative of the dumbest kind.<p>There is no &quot;coordinated media spin across the EU&quot; because the EU is a conglomerate of 28 nation states, many of which are in strong disagreement about which kind of media spin they would prefer for the current situation.<p>Look at the mainstream media in Germany, Austria and Hungary and you&#x27;ll see very different spins and emphasis. The internet makes this very easy to do, there really is no excuse for naive conspiracy theories anymore.<p><i>That&#x27;s democratic choice; offering directives is a tad authoritarian, is it not?</i><p>My tolerance towards stupidity ends when it is directed against people who can&#x27;t defend themselves. In case you missed whose horn generic_user is tooting then I suggest to take a brief glance at his comment history.
