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)

ÖRR Blog wrote that the ZDF audience service responded to a complaint about the Böhmermann show, claiming the vehicle had been visible repeatedly during the show without reference to specific individuals. This was incorrect, explained ÖRR Blog: Ulrich Siegmund was shown on a Simson during the program. The blog asked why the ZDF audience service had lied. #OerrBlog #Böhmermann #ZDF #Medienkritik (translated)

The case of Roland Weißmann shows that despite massive accusations of sexual harassment, not everything is as clear-cut and unambiguous as it seems, and we should learn from this case for the future that media coverage is not always balanced. #MeToo #SexuelleBelästigung #Medienkritik (translated)

Miró wrote that Böhmermann's show, in which Ulrich Siegmund was depicted as being run over by a truck several times, was broadcast on October 2. So far, the journalists' association has not filed a complaint about it, even though it labeled Siegmund's question to Köster about his professional future outside of the broadcasting service that Miró referred to as "forced broadcasting" as intimidation. Miró questioned what connection the association still had with journalism. #Journalismus #Medienkritik #Satire (translated)

Gert Wöllmann wrote that Manuela Schwesig, Karl Lauterbach, and Lars Klingbeil spoke of "inhumane" statements without citing specific examples. According to him, the SPD as well as media outlets like Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, ARD, ZDF, and taz also did not provide any examples. #SPD #Medienkritik #Politik (translated)

Mathias Priebe wrote that Bärbel Bas' stepdaughter died at the age of 53 at the end of September. He described the loss as sad, but stated that the grief only affects Bas. He called the connection of the death with alleged excessive criticism of Bas dishonest. In his opinion, Bas must come to terms with the situation. Other people must also continue to work, deliver performance, and endure criticism, Priebe wrote. After several weeks, her environment should no longer have to take her feelings into account, least of all the whole country. He also stated that he could no longer bear it when people portrayed themselves as victims. Grief is individual and, in his opinion, not divisible, Priebe wrote. He generally feels sympathy only for people who are close to him. While he knows compassion, he would have failed as a journalist if he had immersed himself in all the fates he had to report on, he wrote. Moreover, he accused many of allowing themselves to be deceived again by socialists, for whom he used a derogatory term. In conclusion, he asked whether Bas had been attacked too harshly. #Priebshow #Trauer #Medienkritik #BärbelBas (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)

Communication scientist Nadia Zaboura warns that many German-speaking media are poorly prepared for right-wing extremist communication strategies and criticizes the inadequate categorization of anti-democratic actors as well as the media double standards in handling different political groups. #Medienkritik #Rechtsextremismus #Journalismus (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that the AfD has learned to always carry its own camera during discussions and to not give interviews if only the journalists' camera crew is filming. In his view, this shifts the interpretative authority and shows that many journalists from established media are poorly prepared and shameless. They asked provocative questions to elicit negative reactions and then built a multi-minute defamatory report from a single edited sentence, GFrei.News wrote. Furthermore, GFrei.News demanded the abolition of established media in Germany as well as established parties. They only cause harm and have long been overtaken by the internet, the article stated. https://t.co/kNpyy02C3T #AfD #Medienkritik #Journalismus (translated)

The article accused reporter Anne Herzlieb of adopting the perspective of the AfD opponents in Saxony-Anhalt in a news lead from ZDFheute. The author criticized that two women, whom he referred to as "panic demonstrators," were given a voice – the same number as AfD politicians – and that Herzlieb had struck an indignant tone. In conclusion, he asked whether that could be called "false." #Medienkritik #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #DE (translated)

Leah von Roden criticized a ZDF report on the election of the President of the State Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. The piece, perhaps unintentionally, struck the tone of a condolence piece and showed only 17 seconds of Mr. Rausch's speech during a total duration of 4:14 minutes. She believed that more content from the speech might have been of interest, especially considering future criticism. #Wahlbericht #Medienkritik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

The author wrote that subversion had been portrayed as tolerance. Those who had warned against it or counted cases had been labeled as right-wing or inciting hatred. He accused the German media of portraying knives as everyday weapons, group actions as acts of youth groups, and fatalities as marginal notes. Moreover, he referred to Angela Merkel in retirement and included a link. https://t.co/KBuAZVAurf #Toleranz #Medienkritik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Hayali has been criticized for years due to serious journalistic deficiencies. Both Deutsche Bahn and ZDF accused her of professional errors and the use of AI-generated material. Additionally, she made questionable statements in the context of the Middle East conflict and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which brought her into the headlines. Ultimately, she only stands out for her bias and lack of diligence, but not for critical journalism. It is absurd that Hayali receives this award, as she is anything but critical and instead is much more characterized by hate against all who are not left-leaning. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Medienkritik (translated)

After watching the news for 5 days, my recommendation is clear: turn it off. The reporting is not balanced, it frames and creates enemy images, so in my opinion, one should avoid such content in the long run. The first three days of my news analysis are available for free on my YouTube channel: https://t.co/9eEEEbHhEY The remaining two days (Thursday-Friday) are exclusive to my channel members: https://t.co/gBQSt01wGz Follow me on Telegram: https://t.co/wC1x0C7toA https://t.co/wC1x0C7toA #Medienkritik #Tagesschau #YouTube (translated)

It's audacious: First, @BILD headlines, "Pilot (Russian) wants to kill himself, Co-pilot (Ukrainian) prevents plane crash!" and now, after the facts have completely changed, the headline and article have been altered without making the correction known. Now it says in BILD: "An Israeli source claims there is suspicion that the co-pilot from Oman wanted to bring the plane down, and the chief pilot from the United Arab Emirates was able to overpower him with the quick thinking of Israeli passengers." Focus also quotes an Israeli official who speaks of a terrorist attack: "One pilot stabbed the other and tried to commit an attack like on September 11. Either he wanted to hijack the plane and crash it. The plane began to descend. Another pilot team on board took control of the plane." Additionally, the Israeli portal "ISRAEL HAYOM" now reports that a Ukrainian-Russian couple who were also on the plane landed it. What BILD has done, especially in these times, is journalism from the gutter. The preceding story was not only completely illogical – why would a pilot stab himself if he wanted to crash the plane anyway? – it was also wrong, given that the co-pilot holds Omani citizenship and the pilot comes from the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, it is now reported that the attack is said to have originated from the co-pilot. That's the current situation – which is now proving to be completely different from what BILD initially reported. Further information is pending. #Journalismus #Faktenlage #Medienkritik (translated)

Dass die Linke jetzt quasi zur größten Gefahr für die Demokratie hochgejazzt wird, während eine in weiten Teilen faschistische Partei kurz vor absoluten Mehrheiten steht, gehört zu den grotesken Verdrehungen einer Medienlandschaft, die sich in falschen Balancen zu verirren droht. #Demokratie #Faschismus #Medienkritik #DE
