Dagbladets three Ms
In this piece, which appeared in the Norwegian daily Dagbladet on 4 October 2009, Hege Storhaug takes on three of that newspapers female journalists, Marie Simonsen, Marte Michelet, and Martine Aurdal, who in Storhaugs view have betrayed Dagbladets proud historic role in the Norwegian womens movement by turning their back on the plight of their Muslim sisters in Norway. In this regard, of course, the three Ms (as Storhaug calls them) are hardly unique to Norway: Storhaugs critique is equally applicable to great swaths of the supposedly liberal media throughout the Western world.
