KBSezWOW:
Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland
hospitalized after a suicide attempt amid a corruption investigation linked to the Jeffery Epstein files
Please Note: There seems be some question as to whether or not Jagland attempted suicide but he is hospitalized. His lawyer is saying it was not a suicide attempt -
I'm trying to find more information.

Joel VanderWerfWe can hope...
Vigdis Olden@kbsez What’s your source?
Simon H.@Vigdisol @kbsez The source is a far-right "news" site called iNyheter, led by Helge Lurås, known to fabricate, exaggerate and lie to create polarization and spread his xenophobic, hateful agenda – modelled after Breitbart. Nothing that comes from that source should be taken at face value.
What is known is that Jagland is currently hospitalised. What is not known is the cause.
And his lawyer has vehemently denied the iNyheter rumors, calling it a gross violation of press ethics.
Thanks for spelling out the details. I've been searching for larger news site stories on this.

Jack the Frosted Count@kbsez It's a start.
Kraksen@kbsez I don't think ‘BRICS News’ on Twitter is a very good source, and you should really check better. Especially since you're dragging sensationalist Twitter crap onto Mastodon.
Jagland has been hospitalised as a result of the pressure from the publicity of the case, but his lawyer claims the ‘suicide attempt’ is fake news.

Thanks for the link and pointing this out. I'm looking for larger news site stories on this.
@kbsez You're welcome. For what it's worth, VG is the second-largest newspaper in physical sales and by far the largest online newspaper in Norway. Many search results I get in English are from Russian or Russia-affiliated sources, like Pravda and Tass. None look credible.

Thanks. In the article on VG I translated it appeared that a reporter for VG said that they were told it was a suicide attempt
@kbsez If we're thinking of the same line, that specific line just proves why translation is after all a human art. The original says, in somewhat poorly structured language: “We were told something else according to our journalist, editor Helge Lurås from iNyheter tells VG”. It's supposed to be a quote from a different outlet, not VG's own reporter.
I believe @simonboba already covered iNyheter and Lurås pretty concisely in his own comment.
Yes.
Of course I wouldn't believe anything any of these asses's lawyers say for them....
Pedro Quixote ‽ aka MultiVax@BigGayShaun . From the replies this appears to be unreasonable. See Norwegian article at the bottom
Big Gay Shaun@PeterMLittle I wasn’t agreeing with the post; I have many questions about it too.
