From the Washington Examiner - a reply from the railroad company that she was riding:
'Your seat in first class': Train company hits back over photo of Greta Thunberg sitting on floor
Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg received criticism from the German railway company Deutsche Bahn after claiming her trip aboard a train was overcrowded.
"Traveling on overcrowded trains through Germany. And I’m finally on my way home!" the 16-year-old posted Saturday evening, along with a photo of her sitting on the floor of a train. Thunberg has explained her refusal to travel by air by citing concerns that planes cause environmental damage.
"love #Greta , thank you for supporting us railroad workers in the fight against climate change! We were pleased that you were on the ICE 74 with us on Saturday. And with 100 percent green electricity," Deutsche Bahn responded in a Sunday tweet before adding, "It would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competent you were looked after by our team at your seat in first class."
Re-read that last sentence one more time:
"It would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competent you were looked after by our team at your seat in first class."
Yeah - fake news. And what is it with the picture of her looking up to the right facing some light. I had posted about this yesterday - very popular visual trope for propaganda - here is the image once again:
I wish her well and hope that she is not too crushed when the people manipulating her decide that she is no longer of use to their agenda and throw her under the bus. Anyone hear of David Hogg or Cindy Sheehan any more? They used to be 24/7...
