Far-right nationalism is on the rise all around the world. We've experienced a rise in white nationalism in our own country. Most of it, even world-wide, is the last remnants of white privilege left over from European Imperialistic attitudes. White ethnocentrism came with the push for world colonial rule.

I'm not familiar with "The Local" media publication. When I encounter new sources I have taken to researching them since there is so much non-credible sources being cited recently.

For everyone's FYI, this how "The Local descibes itself: Our philosophy
We believe that the better you understand the world around you, the more you can contribute to it. People who live and think internationally are agents of progress. They spread ideas and knowledge, connect minds and resources, and increase tolerance and understanding.

The Local supports these modern pioneers by boosting their understanding of the countries they live in, move to, visit or do business with.

Balanced and accurate local reporting is fundamental to democracy and to our individual audience members' ability to participate in their community. We recognize our responsibility to cover our countries faithfully and we will challenge willful misrepresentations of these countries by other media, commentators or politicians.

Our audience
The five million people who read The Local each month are well-educated and well-informed. They have influential jobs in forward-looking sectors and an outward-facing perspective on life that makes them internationally adaptable. They want their news to be sourced locally, not delivered through the filter of a national news brand thousands of miles away.

Similarly, news desks around the world trust The Local's coverage as the basis for their own foreign news articles, regularly citing our reports and seeking guidance from our journalists.

The Local is a multi-regional, European, English-language digital news publisher with local editions in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Each site, while alike in appearance, has separate editorial teams, each focused on its respective market. Coverage is purely domestic in each country, and includes current events, politics, business, sports and culture, as well as analysis and opinion.

The parent company The Local Europe AB, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, also owns English-language discussion forums in Germany (Toytown Germany) and Switzerland (English Forum).

Websites are not likely to write negative reviews of themselves . . .

I advocate installing this browser extension :

Journalists rating the journalism of websites -- who better to do so ?

@FearlessFly I agree. I'm just curious about some background on new media sites I encounter. I'll investigate your recommended site. Thanks.

@FearlessFly

Here's what I found out:

NewsGuard Technologies was founded in 2018 by Steven Brill and L. Gordon Crovitz, who serve as co-CEOs.[2] Investors include the Knight Foundation and Publicis.[3] The NewsGuard extension is installed in browsers and warns users when they view content from what it considers are fake news websites. Professional journalists employed by NewsGuard Technologies score news sites on their reliability and general trustworthiness. The analysis is designed to be transparent and includes the name of the staffer who analyzed the site. Sites that score at least 60 out of 100 points based on nine criteria display a green icon next to their name, and ones that score lower get a red icon. Users can optionally read more information, including how the sites fared in each criterion.[4] The extension can also highlight potential conflicts of interest, such as websites that do not disclose that they are financed by lobbying groups.[5]

NewsGuard determines a website's overall credibility score based on a number of criteria. These include:

The frequency of publication of inaccurate information
The extent of sourcing and original reporting of information
The degree of demarcation between news and opinion journalism
The accuracy of headlines, including the use of clickbait headlines
The degree of disclosure of the website's ownership, as well as the political position.

Apparently, controlled immigration is racism nowadays. Many people want to hold on their cultures while the globalist economy wants to flood European countries with cheap labour. The extremists are a natural response to this. They tend to think of immigrants as the enemy when it is really their governments who are obeying the dictates of big business.

Done.

I would respond that controlled immigration is the way to go about bringing in new people at all times.

It’s very worrying...not just in Germany but in most of the Eastern European countries which were formerly Warsaw Pact countries prior to the fall of communism.
