Am I missing something? There is a huge list, which are rebuked here or somewhere.
But where exactly?
edit: additionally, needs 2018 in the title?

#13Would have been more useful for a breakdown/fact check on where the basis "myth" came from.
Otherwise it's useless as you have no way of knowing what the reality is/was.

#14Good. 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.

Just curious, why not?

#15It 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.
Probably because they don't want to be sued for libel.

#16Boris Johnson essentially made his career at the Telegraph writing these. Brussels
Correspondent was a pretty lowly role before he arrived. The condoms, the manure smelling, the bendy bananas, ‘Mumbai’ mix - all him.
“[I] was sort of chucking these rocks over the garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in England as everything I wrote from Brussels was having this amazing, explosive effect on the Tory party – and it really gave me this, I suppose, rather weird sense of power,”

#17The 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 sa…
I could give you tons of bogus euromyths, but this is a legit complaint. How about "overprotecting children by closing down playgrounds is evil"?
Right, except that I am willing to bet money that in 99% of cases, playground closures happen because overprotective parents complain "my litle jimmy scraped their knee, you should close it until everything is made ouf ot foam!" and councils find it easier to just close a playground rather than fight a battle against parents, especially if they find few other households who think the same.

My guess is they “just don’t trust it” without a reason. This type of person never has a reason, they just parrot what they’ve heard without thinking critically.

#19I can't believe official government resources are designated to this kind of stuff.
It sounds authoritarian to me.
No matter how you disprove the selected "euromyths". This action itself just directly prove the broader point: EU has an overarching government.
Wow. Got tons of downvotes. By the end of the day, the simple logic is that the false reports do not hurt truthful reports. If the truthful reports prove their point, no matter how many false reports exist, the truth is the truth. So this action itself is purely propaganda to prove a false point with a false logic.

#20>Broadband speeds, red tape – EU red tape force down broadband speeds, May 2016
I know all of these are nonsense, but this one is particularly funny to me.
In London I was limited to 80mbps copper cable, but since moving to a European city I now have gigabit fibre for around the same price (and 10 gigabit is available too for a small extra.)
