Many US news sites have yet to comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation after more than two months, leaving European visitors blocked.

Digital outlets run by Tronc, Lee Enterprises and GateHouse Media are among the hundreds of US news websites that remain unavailable within the EU, according to NiemanLab.

The General Data Protection Regulation, also known as GDPR, is designed to give the EU's 500 million citizens greater control over how their information is used online. Adopted in April 2016, its provisions became directly applicable in EU member states after a two-year transitional period.

    Here is what you missed in US media: "Trump! Trump! Wildfires in California. Is this because of climate change? Trump! doesn't believe in climate change. People sneaking into the country are really asylum seekers, and Trump! is cruelly arresting them. And if they bring children along, the Trump! government is putting them in holding facilities. Trump! is jailing children! Could Manafort finally be the key to a Trump! impeachment? Today a bank loan officer testified that Manafort said he would use his house as a residence, but he was actually trying to rent it out. Trump?"

    For reasons that must make sense to the management, NedSpace has a HUGE projection TV in a lounge that I would otherwise avail myself of.

    No one ever watches it.

    Well someone does from time to time, because once a week or so it will have a different channel.

    But no one ever turns the damn thing off.

    Lately it's been left tuned to MSNBC. I pass through the lounge when I go to or from the can. MSNBC is running two or three different Trump stories, Manafort and that Congresscritter who just got busted for giving his son an illegal stock tip.

    Over And Over And Over Again.

    Those are the ONLY stories that MSNBC has been running this week. Surely _something_ else has happened? Somewhere? Please for the love of God let something _else_ be newsworthy!@

      MSNBC has turned into the anti-trump channel ... which may explain why its rating are up the last two years.

      They are bombing kids in Yemen with US made and supplied bombs. For example. But no news for American consumption.

      Did MSNBC report that? It's in the record too; the judge pointed it out. The dude was seriously crying because his case against Manafort is a failing mess.

      Here it is, highlighted:

      (search for one of: tears, watery, cry... and the rest of the stuff is great reading as well)

      MSNBC would have you believe that there is some major Trump-related issue that will ultimately lead to impeachment over Russian stuff. Really, it's a collapsing case over old stuff that long predates working for Trump. Manafort might be sleazy, and probably violated the law (far less than democrats did), but at this point it is clear that he is facing malicious prosecution.

    Very biased, the Fake News MSM doesn't report the great economic news. 157,000 new jobs in July, prices VERY STABLE, millions dropping Food Stamps. Much better reporting from Fox News, Sinclair & OANN!!!

    Haven't you guys kicked that guy out yet?!??? I sure hope you have a POTUS candidate that isn't just stupid for next time. Damn. Right, yes. We Europeans have moved on already since a few months. This circus show in the US was just too stupid. That BTW doesn't mean you need to start organizing witch hunts and spraying stupid propaganda about Russia. Germany is going to buy their gas and not your LNG. Get over it already and stop waging proxy wars all over the place. We're done with it.

    Fix your country already.

    Oh and if you want to sell LNG, start investing in LNG terminals in Rotterdam and Antwerp. We are not going to pay them for your industries.

      Why would we kick the guy out? He was elected and his current term goes to 2021.

        What's worse, if we kick him out, is replacement is even worse. Trump is just a stupid, greedy, bigoted traitor. Pence is additionally a religious maniac.

          Trump is just a stupid, greedy, bigoted traitor.

          Lets unpack that.

          Stupid. He beat Hillary Clinton, supposedly the smartest person to deign to serve... after you said the same of Obama of the sealed academic records of course. He beat her with the Full panoply of power set against him, the Democratic Party machinery is a given but he had pretty much all of the News and Entertainment industry calling him Hitler reborn and a good part of the Republican Party agreeing with the Democrats and the Media including the Party Chair, the Speaker of the House and the premiere publications on the Right (National Review, Weekly Standard, WSJ Editorial Page) denouncing him as a menace to the Republic unprecedented in our history. Many Republican "Thought Leaders" outright endorsed Mrs. Clinton. And even with the October Surprise of the Access Hollywood tape he still won. Since then he has gone on winning. And you either still think he is stupid or think you can convince one of his supporters of it.

          Greedy. He pledged his Life, his Fortune and his Sacred Honor on his mission to Make America Great Again. The net worth of Obama, Bill Clinton and most of their minions increased enormously while in government service. Somehow. Meanwhile most estimates are that the Trump Organization has suffered from the retaliation from the Left upon the President's business and his net worth has actually declined. And if he fails in his mission to drain the swamp it is very likely it will imprison Mr. Trump and probably his children and utterly ruin his business empire. Assuming he doesn't suffer the fate of the last POTUS to tangle with the CIA, President Kennedy. Anyway, interesting definition of greed you have there. Isn't exactly projection since YOU aren't the one who fed at the trough for decades, you just blindly support her and project HER corruption onto Mr. Trump.

          Bigoted. I suppose if we are using the modern definition of anyone who disagrees with a Democrat I have to award this one to ya. But he is a most curious bigot in that until he ran for public office every civil rights organization in NYC seemed to prefer handing him awards for his service to their causes.

          Traitor. Come again? You can't be pissed off at his America First policies, MAGA slogan and lack of concern for how the feelings of the rest of the world AND think he is a traitor. Isn't your real complaint that he isn't displaying the proper loyalty to (((globalist))) ideals and policies? Isn't your actual problem that he IS a "traitor" to the U.N. but more loyal to the United States of America and Americans than any President since Ronald Reagan? Nobody actually believes that Russia! Russia! Russia! garbage. Please don't tell us YOU fell for it, it was just a reason to get a special inquisitor installed to harass and obstruct for eight years. Most important of all to prevent revealing the corruption and treason within the Intelligence Community, Justice Department and FBI.

          So every word of that was either bullshit, utterly wrong or a knowing falsehood. And you guys still expect to see a Blue Wave in November because you are smarter and more moral than us mouth breathing retards on the Trump Train. Good luck with that.

            I like how you see someone attack Trump and then just instantly assume that they're a hardcore democrat. I despite Trump, Republicans, and Democrats. I'm not a partisan retard like you are, so stop assuming everyone else is as partisan as you.
