This assassination had almost no coverage on the continent. EU institutions and member countries apparently have more important issues than billions of euro vanishing without a trace (time to increase the contributions for those employed; those single, childless, and employed soon will not be paid with money at all).

  > This assassination had almost no coverage on the continent. Wow, really? Can I assume, then, that continental Europeans stereotype the Maltese as backward and corrupt? That's the excuse for ignoring such things in pretty much every society.

  This assassination was covered in the US. However, I don't understand the coverage either here or in Europe and am hoping that a local Maltese reader might be able to help out. In all the coverage, she's praised to the skies as a tough investigative journalist who uncompromisingly challenged authorities and followed through on corruption. But then you go to her blog, which was her primary reporting outlet, and it's nothing of the kind. Her last post was literally belittling a politician for his posture [1]. The rest of her posts include gossip and snark ("Opposition leader’s wife says convicted drug dealer’s girlfriend is 'one of my closest and most trusted friends'"). [2] And so on. For locals in Malta, or anyone who actually followed her before she was killed, was she viewed in Malta as a serious investigative reporter? TIA.
