KBSezWOW:
Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland
hospitalized after a suicide attempt amid a corruption investigation linked to the Jeffery Epstein files
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....
