Political indoctrination of the crudest kind! Kim Jong-Un would be proud!
(D)DR, you serve your political masters well. Here, have another 1 bn DKK of tax payer money to further educate and shame the dissidents.
The first episode of season 3, or more like the 10 mins I saw by accident, almost made me throw up in my mouth. I had my fears, but didn't think the bias was so obvious. How can intelligent people stand this state-directed agitprop garbage.
I don't know anything about DR's relationship with the Danish government but I don't find this series anything near as deferential or smaltzy towards the government as West Wing.
sharePerhaps you view it a 'just fiction' because you are from a country with free media. But I can assure you that to the citizens the 'education' that we are handed down from the state's media corporation DR is intolerable.

After 1968 (as in many Western countries) the communists took power in institutions like the media, education system and cultural institutions. The goal was to influence the people in such a way as to prepare for communism, either through revolution or a foreign takeover (by the Soviets).
One group called the cultural marxists believed that by undermining the culture and values and basically creating self-hate in the population they would open their minds to a communist society.
Artists became dependent on state funds in the 60s, but the government did not want to give out the funds directly. Instead the distribution of these funds fell into the hands of the marxists, appealing to their ideology and taste is one of the reasons why these viewpoints are so prevalent in Danish music, theater and film.
Ingolf Gabold, former head of drama productions at DR, has now come clean about the political bias in all of DR's productions.
"As the former head of drama productions I want to say: I am political."
"Art is political, and Danish People's Party was right when they called me a 'red lackey'"
The hero is the female prime minister, who is against spin, machinations and populism. She fights for humanism, decency and progressive environmentalism. Her opponents support agriculture, pork and the regular Dane.
Pretty much every state broadcaster is either biased to the party in power or in a political ideal. It's obvious as promoting that agenda ensures it's survival. Proof of this can be seen by simply googling 'BBC bias'.
