Marianne Zwagerman wrote that Maarten Keulemans did not appear at a meeting of the Dutch Press Council on the case that Maurice de Hond had brought against him. The chairperson called that absence unfortunate, according to Zwagerman; former KRO director Ton Verlind, who attended the meeting, felt that Keulemans should have been there. Zwagerman announced a report about the meeting in the program *Dwars door de Politiek*, focusing on De Hond's accusations and the defense by the Volkskrant. Additionally, she and De Hond would discuss, among other things, the unrest in France, a publication in Trouw about side effects of coronavirus vaccines, and the pressure on nitrogen policy. According to her, they also looked back at a celebration marking De Hond's 50 years as a pollster. Zwagerman reported that the broadcast would be live on Sunday at 9:00 PM and would later be available as a podcast. https://t.co/UQzZVVS9yF #Journalistiek #Politiek #Actualiteit (translated)

Susanne wrote that NU.nl proposed Laura Faber as an ordinary citizen in an article about people taking in status holders, without mentioning her work in the reception and integration of newcomers, according to her. Susanne called Faber the director of Bureau de Werkvloer, a teacher at PONT | Zorg & Sociaal, project leader for the Development of Municipal Reception at the municipality of Hengelo, and founder of the integration school and language school Iedereen aan Boord in Deventer. According to Susanne, Faber's income came 100% from projects and assignments that were directly related to refugee reception and the integration of newcomers and status holders. Susanne called the portrayal misleading and wrote that she had submitted a community note. According to her, it was ready for review and would only become visible to everyone after enough reviews. She thanked Hilda Spruit for her response under the article and provided two sources. https://t.co/htqtVhSm1c https://t.co/4GI1TXQwZR #journalistiek #vluchtelingen #integratie (translated)

Joost Jansen wrote that he had Chat prepare a speech for Rob Jetten in response to serious riots in Amsterdam. The proposed text stated that violence against society was unacceptable, while demonstrating and expressing criticism were part of democracy. The speech proposed three measures: maintaining the rule of law, supporting victims and affected entrepreneurs, and investigating the causes of social tensions. The text also stated that researching those causes was no excuse for violence. The recovery of trust, according to the speech, would depend on consistent action and rules that applied to everyone. #Amsterdam #democratie #veiligheid (translated)

Jan B. Hommel criticized Trouw for, in his opinion, only starting to investigate nearly six years later. He accused the newspaper of presenting itself as objective and highlighting both sides of the story but deemed that approach too late and insufficient. Hommel also criticized Agnes Kant, who, according to him, wanted to investigate the effects of mRNA vaccines. He wondered if Kant had previously stated that the side effects were manageable and claimed that Lareb had fallen short. According to Hommel, Kant's current stance showed that she poorly remembered her earlier statements. He expressed his aversion to the assertion that coronavirus vaccines were crucial for reducing the impact of the pandemic. Hommel said an article would soon be published that would, in his opinion, significantly nuance that assertion. As a meager consolation, he hoped that those involved had been vaccinated themselves. #mRNAvaccins #Trouw #coronavaccins (translated)

Māris Mičerevskis wrote that for some unknown reason someone had brought a woman, but no one had verified it.

He asked why there is such a strong reluctance to delve into it. #zinātne #mediji #uzticība (translated)

Michael van der Galien wrote that, according to him, talk shows had become public pillories for people who deviated from the prevailing opinion. He stated that Douwe Filz had made a remark about the war in Ukraine, after which the other guests at the table had turned against him. What RTL called a debate, Van der Galien described as a tribunal with commercial breaks. https://t.co/iK8dCnp7Vz #Talkshows #Oekraïne #Debat (translated)
