🙃 ~ Michael Grunwald: I went to an obscure hearing today in the Danish Parliament. It blew my mind, not because of the substance, but because the US Congress has totally warped my view of hearings. And I’m just dorky enough to do a thread about it ~ | Blogger: [🤭O-M-G! Journalism, 'Fake News' & Disinfor- mation? If only MG knew how corruption is feeding the Danish Parliament, like Ghostbusters slime river😒] ... MG: "Anyway, the weirdest thing about this mostly banal experience was how weird it seemed. The lack of speechifying, grand- standing, partisanship or fake umbrage. How seriously they all took their responsibilities. The absence of bullshit. In conclusion, we suck. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded how much we suck, and how it’s possible to suck less."... |

First of all, there was a dais in the hearing room, just like any congressional hearing, except the politicians weren’t on the dais. The six experts who were testifying were on the dais. Can you imagine? As if the hearing was about them and not the politicians? 2
