This project sets out to demonstrate that media coverage can degrade a country's image by using selective news without context. It uses the Netherlands as an example. It is a reaction to the frequent misrepresentations of Israel in many ways in major media, including those of the Netherlands.

Minister Praises Company She Recently Attacked
Lilianne Ploumen, Minister of Foreign Trade (Labor) has praised the CoolCut Textile firm as a firm which is ahead of others because its code of conduct forbids child employment and exploitation. She also praised the company because of the way it promotes sustainability. In November however, she said that CoolCut didn’t take its responsibility toward workers seriously. Thereupon, Roland Kahn, Director of CoolCut, took Ploumen to court. Perhaps to avoid the court case, Ploumen changed her opinion. On a hidden camera, Kahn called Ploumen “a c*nt minister.”
