The mainstream media has largely ignored the EU budget discussions. There have been some brief references to the difference of views between the European Parliament and the member states, concerning the rate of growth of 2011 expenditures, as well as a few pieces about the British initiative to cap future allocations. But no detailed comment about the contents of the budget. Notwithstanding the fact that some funding decisions would be politically difficult to justify, if the public scrutiny was properly done.
What explains the media silence?
