The Joop website was established by the left-leaning public broadcaster Vara in 2009 to act as a counter voice to right-wing online forums. It was modelled on the Huffington Post. It aims to trigger debates on current issues and positions itself against the right-wing populist politician Geert Wilders in particular, but so far has not developed into the broad forum it intended to become.
