Miró wrote that the current reporting on Fabian Köster is meant to portray critical inquiries from media figures of the left establishment as mere insults, thereby stifling critical questions in general. In this process, reporters are redefined as streamers and critical questions as attacks, in order to shield media people from further criticism. According to Miró, Köster and others can continue to criticize without being questioned about their work. Miró described the campaign as transparent and ridiculous, stating that media people must accept questions about their actions when adhering to journalistic standards—especially when the public has to finance their professional existence and they regularly mock others. #Journalismus #Medienkritik #Pressefreiheit (translated)

Daniela Seidel wrote that sharing content that glorifies violence is punishable. However, documenting a brutal act of violence and disseminating it out of outrage is not automatically glorification of violence. Section 131 of the German Penal Code explicitly exempts reporting on current events, she wrote. A blanket threat of punishment strikes her as an attempt to intimidate the public and critical voices. #Gewalt #Meinungsfreiheit #SozialeMedien (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki wrote that he had hoped for a stronger public outcry for a long time, but he was mistaken. He described the actions of the Hamburg judiciary against the editorial staff of "Die Zeit" as an unacceptable interference in press freedom. He warned that if the state could access confidential research, independent investigation and free reporting would be at risk. Kubicki contrasted the case with what he termed the expulsion fantasies of leftist activists and the Left Party against the editorial staff of "Apollo News" in Berlin. He urged the public to raise their voices as soon as the press is threatened or restricted; otherwise, the country could one day be unrecognizable. The Hamburg judiciary must provide explanations and return the laptop of the "Zeit" journalist untouched, he wrote. #Pressefreiheit #Meinungsfreiheit #Journalismus (translated)

Richard Schmitt criticized that ORF referred to the AfD as "far-right" in its morning news at 6:30 AM without explaining or providing evidence. He accused the broadcaster of having a leftist orientation and claimed that everything to the right of Marx is classified as far-right there. Schmitt demanded either neutral reporting or the privatization of the broadcaster. Since he believed that neutral reporting was no longer attainable, he advocated for privatization and said that leftist activists would then have to raise 800 million euros themselves to maintain their propaganda offerings. He also urged the AfD to file a lawsuit. #Sonntag #Medienkritik #AfD (translated)
