Even the more liberal-progressive Norwegian media figures and politicians etc are now openly saying US media are completely off their rockers #MeToo

The tragic suicide of former princess' husband has gripped the entire nation and overshadowed everything else completely, since Christmas Day evening, when it was made known to the public.
Not even the Soleimani news got much airtime in Norway - seeing as the ceremony/funeral for Ari Behn took place that same day. (On CNN it was all Soleimani and nothing else, all day - not even impeachment news, on that day.)
The sorrow here is so heavy and it's all still so fresh that the aspect of how the US media (or any other media) portray it, has not been given big headlines - but from the articles that have apppeared, it's clear that everyone, even the most well-known leftist commentators and media analysts, or progressive politicians - of those who have yet noticed it - have a hard time grasping how it's possible that most US media are spinning this personal tragedy as something at all related to Kevin Spacey. It's just too absurd. It's like it's from a different realm, some bizarro world.
No, this wasn't even remotely about Spacey. It has zilch whatsoever to do with him or any #MeToo-matter. Forget about it. When Ari mentioned that Spacey groped him at a party, he did so smiling and fully intended it as a funny anecdote. It was supposed to be just a "good story".
So, damn, if this is possible - that even your relatively trustworthy and solid media sites can spin it like this - then what the hell else can they be completely off their rockers about.. ?
