Truth sandwich in de journalistiek:
Het kiesproces in Nederland is internationaal erkend als zeer robust. Er zijn géén aanwijzingen voor ongeregeldheden bij de TK verkiezingen.
Wilders doet ongefundeerde, democratie ondermijnende beweringen.
Nogmaals: er zijn geen enkele aanwijzingen.

This is what happened to my Grandfather in Frankfurt, Germany on 9th November 1938, commonly known as Kristallnacht.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
