VGs dekning av DOGE og det amerikanske statsapparatet er et klassisk eksempel på ensidig journalistikk.
Gang på gang velger norske medier å male et svart-hvitt-bilde av USA, der Donald Trump og Elon Musk fremstilles som autoritære trusler, mens de etablerte byråkratiske strukturene fremstilles som garantister for demokrati og stabilitet.
Denne vinklingen er ikke bare misvisende. Den er direkte skadelig for den offentlige debatten.
La oss starte med realitetene. Det nye dpartementet for myndighetseffektivitet (DOGE), ledet av Elon Musk, har fått tilgang til det amerikanske statsapparatets betalingssystem.
Dette fremstilles i VG som en konspirasjon for å drive utpressing og lojalitetskontroll. Det de unnlater å nevne, er at DOGE har som mandat å rydde opp i et massivt byråkratisk sløseri. Ifølge investor Marc Andreessen er store deler av den amerikanske statsforvaltningen preget av ineffektivitet og pengesluk, der hundrevis av milliarder dollar forsvinner i prosjekter som aldri materialiseres, skriver William Lindholm:

@ImMeme0 I think it helps to actually put in all the zeros
$8,700,000,000 in military aid for Israel
$8,000,000,000 in military aid for Ukraine
$567,000,000 in military support for Taiwan
$750 one-time emergency assistance payment for American victims of Hurricane Helene
Shameless. No other way to describe Kamala Harris’ photo op at Southern border, promising to secure it after allowing 10+ million illegal aliens in the past 3.5 years as border czar. A shameless person feels no shame because they have no conscience. That’s Kamala Harris.
🇺🇸BILL ACKMAN: GROWING EVIDENCE KAMALA NEGOTIATED DEBATE QUESTIONS AND CAMERA ANGLES
“A whistleblower alleges that a presidential candidate negotiated debate questions in advance, controlled camera angles, and required opponent fact-checking while avoiding scrutiny herself.
“If indeed this turns out to be true, which is looking increasingly likely, consider the character of the presidential candidate that would cheat in a debate, allowing her staff to negotiate the questions in advance, the camera angles, the required fact checking of her opponent, and the lack of fact checking of her own answers.”

Kamala says she believes in freedom, but I was put on a secret terror watch list after I publicly criticized her. No one will be safe from political retaliation under a Harris administration. I put my life on the line for this country. Now the government calls me a terror threat.
France is actually going to throw Telegram founder Pavel Durov in jail for up to 20 YEARS for refusing to censor the truth.
If this happened to Mark Zuckerberg in Russia, every Western government would be going crazy.
The hypocrisy and double standards are astounding.
My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to.
Today’s Democratic Party is doing the opposite.
A wall of negative headlines was so predictable. They’re such NPCs 🤣🤣
All this does is drive even more people to listen to the conversation themselves and realize how much the legacy media lies to them!
CNN IS FREAKING OUT.
According to ELON MUSK the Trump/Elon space has crossed over 1 BILLION views/discussions on other pages combined.
Legacy media is DEAD…
