text: Does anyone else see a particular bias in the presentation of facts here?  The reporter starts by gushing about the triumph of the Green Left:   “. . . major gains for the Green Left, a pro-EU party led by a charismatic 30-year-old with Moroccan heritage.”
  
  But when we get into the substance of the article: 
  “. . . the Freedom Party was expected to end up tied with the Christian Democrats and D66, both pro-European parties, with 19 seats in the 150-seat legislature. And Green Left was only slightly behind at 16 seats.” 
  
  They finished fifth! They finished behind The Liberals, Labour, Christian Democrats, D66, and the Freedom Party.  Sure, they gained ground, but so what?  But why is this author turning himself inside out to fawn over what is barely more than a fifth place fringe party?  It couldn’t be because they’re leftists, could it?
