On: Dutch secret service 'also has access to information from PRISM'

> Note that 'De Telegraaf' is a tabloid-y newspaper

Note that although, yes, De Telegraaf is more sensationalist (and less 'left wing') than other Dutch newspapers such as The Volkskrant and NRC, you should not compare them to the NY Post, The Sun or the Daily Mail.

Actually they compare pretty well to The Sun, which is also a sensationalist tabloid. But NY Post/Daily Mail, they're not!

Isn't the NY Post regularly 'speaking out' on behalf of homeopathy? I think they even had a post about how you should be an anti-vaccer if you're a parent or some bullshit like that…

I hate to defend the Telegraaf, but comparing the Sun to the Telegraaf is like comparing hardcore porn to the SI swimsuit edition.

Especially when it comes to issues related to security and intelligence, Telegraaf does some serious investigative journalism.
