If the statement is true, then the logical conclusion is that the Dutch media are neither incompetent nor censoring. If the statement is false, then the logical conclusion is that the reporter got his information wrong, not that the Dutch media are incompetent or censoring, because, being Dutch myself, I *know* that they are neither incompetent nor censoring.
