It would be nice if they could cut to the chase instead of playing pretend Dostoyevski.
I'm sure the key points will be hashed and rehashed until many of the type of article you want are all over the internet.

Danish tax payers have lost around EUR 1.7B. That's around EUR 300 for every Dane. Still a lot, but a lot less than they claim. I have two takes on this: 1: The Danish tax authorities have been extremely careless in the administration of the rules. They didn't even check that the people owned the shares they claimed to own. Virtually all of it was approved by one employee with zero oversight. 2: Different internation…
The Danish tax disaster has a long history beginning in the early 00's when it was decided to reform and digitalize the tax collection. Contractors were brought in to develop a nation-wide tax collection system that would reduce the cost of collecting tax. This system was to take many years to develop and a plan was made to gradually lay off employees in the tax collection agency as the system was made ready so that…

> it seems that journalism is more and more responsible for work police should be doing I think this echoes a lot of sentiment , if perhaps without concrete evidence, across the world. How can we solve this?
1) Become a career politician yourself. 2) Put yourself in the top 0.1% wealth bracket, and share your opinions with money.

There is no such thing as an unbiased press; the choice of what to report and what counts as "news" is inherently an opinion. It is also ridiculous to pretend that there isn't a substantial rightwing bias in a large number of media organisations, through their funding, ownership, and clickbait willingness to support manufactured "controversies" that harm real people. A latest example: https://www.politico.com/story/2…
> Given this the only thing you can do is find reporting that does a reasonable job of finding the answers, is consistent with your own values, and doesn't have to issue too many retractions for obviously stupid things they got suckered/biased into printing. Alternatively, you can just read multiple news sources (ideally some from other countries as well) and compare them on their coverage of the same event. It's pre…

"For people in democratic republic countries" So obviously people from the UK, Norway, Netherlands, and Spain should not get involved /facepalm
First we have to address our ridiculously outdated structure and actually government sanctioned class system. Having a queen and a ridiculously nationalist political parties has to be the most embarrassing parts of being British. God (lol) divinely gives power to the queen (lol) through birthrite (lol) and we are her subjects (lol). It is so deeply offensive that I am meant to he her slave, and its shocking how much…

To be fair, the journalists put a lot of effort and money into this story. I think they should be allowed to tell the story as they see fit. I'm sure the key points will be hashed and rehashed until many of the type of article you want are all over the internet.
