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.

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)
