EU referendum in Norway - 6 days to go!

[Trond Andresen <Trond.Andresen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today's (Tuesday) opinion polls are 51% (0) - (Scan-Fact Co.),
59%(+2)-(MMI Co.) and 54(0) - (Gallup Co.) for NO, correspondingly for
YES. Numbers in parentheses are changes from yesterday's corresponding
polls.  The mean of those three polls is 54.7, just as it was
yesterday.

But pressure is mounting steadily as especially the two largest TV
channels, including the news program of the state owned Norwegian
Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) are shedding all inhibitions of being
balanced in their reporting. Now they just follow the PM and other
ministers around, faithfully reproducing any propaganda ploy from that
side, even if it has no news content, thus substituting independent
journalism for a more "North Korean" brand. And outright falsities are
not corrected, even if they are pointed out to news editors by viewers
reacting to this. Anyway, my hope is that this Kim Il Sung type
propaganda is so blatantly transparent that it will lead to a backlash
from the public.

And EU resistance is still remarkably stable....
