I am Dutch. I don't follow the news that as a I currently am very depressed. Not by the current affairs but also issues in my household. Recently there was a television show called Lubach (Dutch rip off of John Oliver) and he addressed all the uproar of the Dutch farmers. He investigated the source. The top 10 family owned agricultural companies are behind all this. Technically most Dutch are duped. We are not talking about issues in farming but really specifically about mass production of meat. This is a really small group but the specific pr campaign set up by large hired pr company emphasized the need to call it the farmers protest not the meat industry. The companies that paid the farmers so that they could protest while not loosing income, not because they where pro farmers but against losing money. These companies are going to loose millions (maybe even billions) when the co2 reduction rules are actually in affect.

- BurnGpuBurn 4y agoArjen Lubach and John Oliver are comedians, not journalists. It's important to realize this, because they have no obligation at all to be truthful.
