Voici le contrat du match Russie – Cameroun avec paiement direct à Samuel Eto’o C'est un véritable stratagème qu'a monté Samuel Eto'o pour encaisser la quote-part de la Fécafoot pour le match Russie -

That's quite the scoop from CamFoot, who've got hold of the contract they say shows that the money paid by the Russian FA for their friendly v. Cameroon went straight to Sam Eto'o's Qatar Bank account. www.camfoot.com/actualites/v...

Kanskje snakker han sant, kanskje ikke – vi vet ikke fordi Fifa/Qatar ikke har kommet med sin «versjon».

I jakten på den falske balansen har de sittet på intervjuet i to uker (eller noe) og ventet på svar fra Fifa/Qatar.
«He said/she said»-sak uten det «she said». Fakta i saken er redusert til noe Ibhais bare «mener».

Endelig sendte NRK intervjuet med Abdullah Ibhais.
«Ibhais mener varslinga er grunnen til at han fikk en rettssak mot seg.»
De reduserer saken til «han mener».
Et godt eksempel på NRKs «journalistikk» – frykten for å si det som ting er, frykten for å bruke riktige ord, jakten på falsk balanse.

If you’re watching on DAZN, reminder this is the network that has lost billions (with a b) on streaming sports and somehow found $1bn to pay FIFA for CWC that rest of market was ignoring at $500m all while putting French clubs on brink by pulling out of €500m TV deal. Oh Saudi invested $1bn in DAZN

In limbo: families hoping for change to UK income rules for spousal visas Photographer Frankie Mills documents the lives of nine families whose stories illustrate the human cost of this policy threshold

This is also our daughter's story, a very hard read for a parent. But I'm also so proud of Camille and Mo, who were willing to share it; and so angry with the UK governement, which is inflicting such pain on people whose only crime is to love the 'wrong' person. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
