"Alle titels moeten redactioneel onafhankelijk blijven." Zo werkt praktijk niet. VK, AD & NU durven nu al geen onderlinge journalistieke kritiek te leveren (wel op NPO!).

eens: in mijn 4 mei lezingen in Leiden en Zeist somde ik de uitspraken en acties van Trump c.s. op en legde die langs de lat van fascisme. De overeenkomsten zijn akelig.
