The national broadcaster TV 2 is facing a crisis of judgment after its editor-in-chief admitted the outlet printed 1,000 pages of secret police documents for a source known as Fasar. The documents were reportedly intended to help Fasar "smash" a witness, a service the editor now concedes was a serious error.
While the media debates its ethics, the agricultural sector is weighing the cost of animal welfare. A parliamentary majority is moving to ban 'turbo chickens,' a breed favored for rapid growth; experts warn the move will simply drive production across the border. Meanwhile, the successful alcohol ban in Greenland has prompted calls for Copenhagen to tighten its own regulations on drinking among the youth.
