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)

Thorsten Alsleben wrote that the outrage of the SPD does not fit the events that preceded Bärbel Bas's resignation. Robin Alexander and Rosi Dagi investigated the SPD's campaign against the Union and, according to Alsleben, showed that it was staged, based on baseless accusations, and consciously burdened the coalition. https://t.co/tef3qPoFHQ #SPD #Politik #Koalition (translated)
Julius Böhm accused Lars Klingbeil of lying to protect his campaign against the CDU, in which he portrayed the party as "inhuman." As an example, Böhm referred to a report that Reiche would be absent on July 21, as well as a Bild report from August 1 criticizing Reiche. This was one of dozens of examples, he wrote. https://t.co/8xrAPeEn8Q #Politik #CDU #Kampagne (translated)
Ben Krischke criticized Bärbel Bas and wrote that her statements at the Employers' Day 2025 triggered spontaneous laughter. Within the black-red coalition, she blocked and delayed reforms and once accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of talking "bullshit." He wrote that Bas was not a miscast, but a miscast. Krischke described the SPD's approach as contradictory: the party accused the Union at Bebelplatz, with Boris Pistorius and Matthias Miersch, of paving the way for fascism, but a week later complained about a rough tone in the political center. At the same time, he accused media outlets like Der Spiegel and Handelsblatt of supporting the SPD campaign and portraying the CDU as heartless. Bas, as Federal Minister of Labor, had a large administrative apparatus at her disposal, Krischke wrote. He criticized that the SPD prioritizes a minister's feelings over the welfare of the population and wants to make the Union appear inhuman. According to him, the dismantling of a party involves both those who carry it out and those who allow it. https://t.co/9w5vhZcV4t #Politik #Bundesregierung #SPD (translated)
