Media Participates in Cover-Up -- and Thus Enablement -- of Rogue Representatives and Mischievous National Delegates Inside the EPO

Summary: The lack of participation by the media, which conveniently ignores almost every EPO scandal these days, has enabled a culture or recklessness and a lack of accountability, which generally breeds corruption

THE above video is longer than usual and it's a bit of a rant about how the media treats the EPO regime. Even those who blasted Benoît Battistelli for his illegal acts are either saying nothing about António Campinos or pretending that he's some nice guy (or that the Battistelli abuses are a thing of the past). This sort of revisionism or just outright apathy has enabled the rigged courts to persistently issue rulings in violation of the EPC (e.g. 'ViCo' or European software patents in 'simulation' clothing).



"This sort of revisionism or just outright apathy has enabled the rigged courts to persistently issue rulings in violation of the EPC..."The video goes through this article and meme. We have quite a bit more on the way.

In the meantime or meanwhile we've receive more input about the status quo. "Thinking about EPO coverage in the mainstream press," an associated has told us, "it seems that one of the obstacles is the way the member state politicians exploit the EU. The local press never covers what's going on in the EU and the member state politicians use that as cover for making problems, which they then vote through. Then after voting the problems through they go back to their country and whine that their hands are tied and that the EU is 'forcing' them to make problems. They have some kind of symbiosis with the mainstream press in that the early developments are never covered, except by a few outliers."

"EPO, being the second largest institution (not in the EU though) in Europe, gains a bit of shelter from the above symbiosis, as far as I can tell."

"Other groups of politicians seem to play on all of the above to flirt with the populist / nationalist vote and rile subpopulations up against the EU. Yet they are involved in creating the very situations they then exploit all the while pretending to be absolved of involvement in the process."
