As I think the previous thread clarified, many sexual assaults in Sweden were not reported by the media and anyone who spoke of it was accused of racism, It is good to be cautious/skeptical of the information we receive via mainstream media but there is an underlying trigger for the backlash that we are seeing in Germany now and it is not purely because of xenophobia. Maybe the lesson that should be learned is tell the truth, no matter how ugly it is, so that solutions may be found before things get worse.
I agree with you on reporting the facts and only the facts. However that often doesn't happen.
The thread didn't clarify anything. People expressed their opinions.
Almost all media (mainstream and even more so rightwing) sources have agendas. And more importantly, there are a lot of groups that seek to heighten anti-refugee sentiment. Getting some women to claim they were raped is not a new tactic. Unless you accurately RV'd all of the events you have no way of knowing what happened or not. What you do is choose what to believe.
