More EU Propaganda on TV
Reported in the Irish Examiner Margot Wallstrom, complains that television stations give EU news less than a tenth of the airtime they give national news, undermining citizens’ right to information and preventing them having a democratic input, she said the public wants more information about the Union.
Information is only important as part of the democratic principal, Wallstrom wants to use it instead of democracy
To overcome this, she plans to help television stations throughout Europe increase their coverage by co-operating with one another, by providing them with news and documentaries about what is happening in Brussels and beef-up existing information for the public and journalists.
Wallstrom said; “We shape the everyday lives of people in Europe so it’s necessary to provide them with the information.”
