VVD-bewindslieden Geoffrey van Leeuwen en Eric van der Burg waren de afgelopen dagen in Nigeria, om te praten over handel en met teruggekeerde migranten. „Jullie toekomst is in Nigeria!” nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/02…

De klassieke metafoor van kikkers in steeds heter wordend badwater lijkt van toepassing op een deel van de Nederlandse journalistiek. Zo lang meegegaan met de mainstream retoriek, dat we niet eens meer weten wanneer de grens is bereikt.
