PepijnFor some god-awfully dumb sycophantic reason both Danish and Dutch news today report on the "extremely high gas prizes in the USA".
Just for context. Petrol in the USA is currently just a bit over one euro per liter.
Our glaciers are melting.
I contacted both outlets btw. Just got a reply from the Dutch one. This might infuriate you:

"Our journalist did not realise a gallon is not equivalent to a liter. Instead of editing the article we have fully removed it and will work the relevant content in another article."
Søren Have@Pepijn Wow, what a blunder. But credit for giving an honest response and for taking down the article.
@sorenhave Yeah 2x. That said, how they didn't even talk around it ("oh, small editing mistake" or something) stunned me more than the original blunder.
It's one of the largest Dutch news-outlets and they basically say there's no editorial check on their main feed.
