Julian Adrat wrote that ARD, ZDF, FAZ, ZEIT, Spiegel, Tagesspiegel, Süddeutsche, ntv, taz, Deutschlandfunk, MDR, NDR, RBB, SWR, ORF, and SRF would remain silent. Without X, he claimed, one would know nothing about it, and that is why they wanted to ban X. https://t.co/2XZ4SiaveT #Medien #Zensur #Freiheit (translated)

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that without X one learns nothing about the destruction of the 150-year-old town hall of Limoges. He compared the extent to previous destructions by the Islamic State and stated that, according to Tagesschau, this time protesters against high living costs as well as possibly students or Yellow Vests had damaged the building. The campanile and the roof were lost, and the facade was largely destroyed. In his view, politics and media largely remained silent about the culprits and the extent of the damage. He concluded by asking if this was the "new normal." #Kulturdenkmäler #Zerstörung #Politik (translated)

The author described the German silence on Netanyahu's crimes as indecent and stated that everything is going wrong in the German debate on anti-Semitism. He asked whether it could be agreed that Jewish Germans are valuable members of their own people, but unfortunately Netanyahu is not...; the contribution was cut off at this point. #Antisemitismus #Deutschland #Netanyahu #DE #IL (translated)

The author described the events as open violence against Palestinian owners and wrote that this destroys any trust in the IDF and the military occupation. He also criticized the silence in Germany regarding the violence of settlers and stated that violence is sown with the Jewish faith. #Palästina #Gewalt #IDF #IL #DE (translated)

Julian Adrat asked whether young Germans would be criticized by the arts section and socially and professionally destroyed after singing a catchy tune, while their addresses would be disclosed. He contrasted this with the case where foreigners beat a young German nearly to death: Then the public should remain silent, and the police would prohibit sharing the video, he wrote. #Gesellschaft #Medien #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

This is my answer. After several seconds of prolonged silence, Zelensky smiled and said in English: "This is my answer." Furthermore, Zelensky dismissed accusations from the American president. I do not share operational details. Regarding the Ukrainian attacks on oil facilities, Zelensky said: "I do not share operational details." Zelensky further warned that in the event of a defeat of Ukraine in the war, 20 million Ukrainians could flee to the West. #Trump #Sprecherin #WhiteHouse (translated)

Christiane Richter wrote that, as a mother of a child who has experienced violence, she was angry about a video from Frankfurt/Oder. In it, a group beat up a boy while bystanders filmed. She hopes that all perpetrators will be held accountable and that the role of the spectators will also be examined. Richter reported that after an attack on her daughter, the threats continued. She also filed charges against all bystanders who did not intervene. The perpetrator and her friends later attacked other children as well. When Richter asked their parents to report the incidents, they repeatedly told her to stay out of it. She urged affected parents to report incidents, secure evidence, seek support, and consider civil action. Parents should not be deterred from demanding consequences when their children are beaten, Richter wrote. #Elternschaft #Gewaltprävention #Kinderschutz (translated)

Romina asked why alleged accomplices in a sixfold homicide in Stade, who were said to have been involved in the planning and attacked the injured, are still free. She criticized the silence of the media and wrote that NIUS had announced they would keep following the case, but she hasn't heard anything more about it since. #Stade #Justiz #Skandal (translated)

Aya Velázquez wrote that the cut had been made a long time ago in her opinion. She claimed that critical journalists were having their bank accounts canceled in droves and that criminal proceedings against government-critical journalists and authors were commonplace. Regional media authorities pressured journalists, demanded changes to articles, and threatened fines, she wrote. She also stated that house searches of publishers were nothing new: as examples, she mentioned Lars Winkelsdorf, concerning a weapon she described as fabricated, and author CJ Hopkins, whose book was the reason for the search. Additionally, she referred to the EU sanctions against Hüseyin Doğru, which she described as threatening to existence. Velázquez condemned the house search at DIE ZEIT, but stated that it was not a new turning point. It might be the moment when mainstream journalists finally recognized the situation, she wrote. #Journalismus #Pressefreiheit #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

The author criticized that ZDF reported for 15 minutes on the resignation of a minister, while a KfW study on the costs of the energy transition was only mentioned in a 37-second news block. He described the minister as incompetent. According to the study he cited, the energy transition is expected to cost six trillion euros by climate neutrality in 2045, which is 290 billion euros annually. The study mentions potential benefits such as reduced dependencies and savings. The author countered that, according to calculations by the Fraunhofer IEE, foreign dependence would still amount to 50 percent in the final expansion. He compared the annual costs of 290 billion euros to half of the federal budget, payments to more than 16 million pensioners, and the construction of one million apartments per year. In addition, he wrote that the study assumes the energy transition would succeed without deindustrialization and with a largely unchanged economic structure, including a steel industry that produces large quantities of green steel. #Energiewende #Klimaneutralität #Bundeshaushalt (translated)

Julian Adrat criticized what he sees as a double standard: When the 53-year-old stepdaughter of a 58-year-old minister dies after a long illness, social democrats expect national mourning across the country and consider criticism of the minister to be irreverent. In contrast, the relatives of teenage girls who have been stabbed or thrown in front of a train should, according to him, mourn quietly and preferably remain silent forever. #Politik #Trauer #Gesellschaft (translated)
