Euronews Radio Play, Greek Village Protests and Media Censorship

The hosts critique a Euronews segment that uses dramatic voice-overs to translate the complaints of Greek villagers in Mitilini who oppose a new refugee center. The villagers express fears of crime and disease, which the hosts liken to a "radio play." Additionally, a story from the Netherlands is shared where a local newspaper's staff resigned after being forbidden from reporting on a new asylum center.
