It doesn’t seem to show which publications these were in. Some of these headlines only show up in this article itself, when I Google for them.

Without knowing what the sources are and what the articles say, there is no way to make sense of this list.

The EU is evil because it protects children :facepalm:

* Playgrounds, safety – EU safety directives to ban playgrounds, trapeze artists and bagpipes, Aug 2005

* Playgrounds, safety – Safety rules force the closure of UK playgrounds, Oct 2003

* Playgrounds, safety, speed limits – Speed limits to be enforced on children’s roundabouts, Oct 2004

* Playgrounds, safety, swings – A village has to remove its swings due to safety rules, Jan 2003

Plus they could be false or true based on some technically or interpretation...

I could give you tons of bogus euromyths, but this is a legit complaint.

How about "overprotecting children by closing down playgrounds is evil"?

I keep hearing about all of this pro brexit propaganda and fake news and such, but close so 100% of everything I see it pro EU.

Would be nice to also see the Brexit myths. I'm not holding my breath though.

I would hazard a guess: Murdoch-owned papers. Because having the most powerful papers in England owned and ran by a foreigner from the opposite side of the planet is good for British Sovereignty.

Good. Sets precedent for other major powers to document misinformation efforts by 'international media'. I never consult the world news section of big name media publications.

> Other stories include speculation that curved bananas are to be banned

It’s acting not so far fetched as there was an actual regulation for this:
