First of all, there actually isn't a "President of the European Union", which he is questioning as a leader of the EU. Which tells how fucking lousy this "reporter" trying to show the ignorance of the people is.
There are, just to give an example of the horrible bureaucracy:
President of the European Council (since 1 December 2014, Donald Tusk)
President of the European Commission (since 1 November 2014, Jean-Claude Juncker)
President of the European Parliament (since 17 January 2017, Antonio Tajani)
Presidency of the Council of the European Union (since 1 January 2017, Malta - Joseph Muscat)
Likely he is asking the people for the President of the European Council, which is Donald Tusk. Which is a position that changes every +2 years. So it would be a question like asking Americans who is the President of the Senate in the US is.
Anyone of you know that without googleing it? Besides clubgop.

That would matter if you were talking to people in the EU protesting about leaving the EU.

Re: Europe Boring Until it's Not
Agree he framed the question poorly. My answer would be Jean Claude Juncker, since he's leading the executive branch of the EU political system.ssu wrote: Likely he is asking the people for the President of the European Council, which is Donald Tusk.

I don't expect people to know EVERY "president" in the EU, but people really should be expected to know Jean Claude Juncker, and Donald Tusk. Especially Jean Claude Juncker, as he's the real "President" of the EU.
The EU parliament, and the council of the EU? Not important. Donald Tusk is more like Jens Stoltenberg in his role as Secretary General of NATO. People should know it, but it's also not the most important role.
Everyone, EU proponent, and opponent alike should know about Jean Claude Juncker though.

Anyway I don't like this kind of biased reporting to show how ignorant/stupid/racist/whatever people in some demonstration are...that the reporters is basically against. Don't care if it's pro- or anti-Brexit, Trump-supporters or Trump-protesters. It's simply degrading: yes, in a big crowd there is always the one uninformed the one who's a freak and so on. The simple question "Why are you demonstrating?" will do, if then the people show their ignorance, then they show their ignorance.Otern wrote:Agree he framed the question poorly.

Yeah. But this is Rebel Media, don't really expect any sort of balanced unbiased reporting from them. It's for people who want to further reinforce their beliefs.ssu wrote:Anyway I don't like this kind of biased reporting to show how ignorant/stupid/racist/whatever people in some demonstration are...that the reporters is basically against.

I think this whole era is about reinforcing one's beliefs too much.
