-B.K- wrote that a student at the University of Copenhagen (KU) was agitating to mobilize thousands for a left-wing demonstration in the middle of a class, while a teacher stood in the background. He believed that the campuses were breeding leftist voters and Antifa types at society's expense. https://t.co/d9YJUZXLHv #København #Venstrefløjen #Studieliv (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that she did not see it as a problem that the left was critical of B.T.'s conservative profile. On the contrary, she believed that praise from left-leaning politicians and commentators would be a cause for concern, as it could indicate that the media had deviated from its conservative line. She argued that B.T.'s direct conservatism scared a left that had had a significant influence on media debate for decades. According to Selsing, the left only supported conservative viewpoints it could control, and the more subdued conservatism had followed the left's norms of shaming, censorship, and cancellation. She wrote that this type of conservatism had dominated the Danish media landscape until a few years ago, and that the situation still prevailed outside of B.T. Selsing believed that B.T.'s success was partly due to the media offering conservative perspectives and analyses that the readers and viewers, according to her, could not find elsewhere. She criticized other media for presenting uniform headlines and analyses and for expressing outrage over differing opinions. She wrote that actors with interests in conformity and censorship therefore reacted strongly to B.T., and that she would be more concerned if they did not. #Borgerlighed #MedieDebat #Ytringsfrihed (translated)

Emilie Jäger wrote that she was proud to work at B.T., which she described as a free and independent media outlet with a civic foundation. According to her, this was reflected both in the newspaper's debate section and in the choice of topics. She believed that Denmark needed different media and mentioned Information, Politiken, DR, and B.T. as examples. Jäger wrote that she often received calls from dissatisfied politicians and their advisers, and occasionally even ministers. However, she had not experienced internal pressure from bosses regarding her political beliefs or about covering anyone in a certain way. She believed that B.T. also adhered to fundamental journalistic principles of hearing all parties, faithfully representing their viewpoints, and describing facts. According to Jäger, sources she interviewed both within and outside Christiansborg were sometimes dissatisfied, but her impression was that sources on both the right and left generally felt professionally treated. She also wrote that her management and colleagues, along with her, had turned a large deficit into a million-dollar surplus, while the newspaper played an important role in Danish democracy. #journalistik #demokrati #BorgerligtMedie (translated)

Jotam Confino wrote that several B.T. employees had publicly criticized the development of the media. According to him, they believed that B.T. had been used for an ideological project, that journalistic independence had been compromised, and that employees had allegedly been called in for discussions about their opinions. Confino wrote that he was not aware of any of the critics resigning, and that he personally believed it was free for both employees and others to criticize the media. As one of B.T.'s public profiles, Confino described his own experiences. He wrote that he had never received instructions about journalistic angles or been pressured to follow an ideological line. He also had not been in a conversation about his opinions or been told to be more critical of the left than the right, he wrote. Confino described his bosses as skilled and professional and said that he felt he had full journalistic freedom. Confino highlighted B.T.'s bourgeois profile and wrote that an editorial line did not in itself mean that the media was politically controlled. He asked why there was no corresponding criticism of Information, Politiken, or TV 2. He also criticized colleagues from other media, ministers, and party leaders for, in his opinion, contributing to doubts about B.T.'s independence. He pointed to B.T.'s coverage of the mink scandal, Enhedslisten's support for a terrorist organization, which according to his post was involved in the murder of a 21-year-old student from Tanzania, and anti-Semitism, among other things, in Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. Confino wrote that B.T. had made significant progress both in readership and economy, and that he was proud to be part of the media and supported the management. #BT #journalistik #medier (translated)

Steffen W. Frølund wrote that middle-class Danes had for decades had to pay for media that, in his opinion, had a political bias against their beliefs. He described it as a great injustice and believed that the left reacted violently when a media outlet moved to the right. #Politik #Medier #Debat (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that it had been three years since Hamas and other terrorists attacked Israel, describing the attack as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He stated that families were killed in their homes, young people were attacked at a music festival, and children and grandparents were taken hostage. According to Vanopslagh, antisemitism surged significantly in the wake of the attack, even in Denmark. He wrote that Jews here at home were hiding their Stars of David and that Jewish children were met with Nazi salutes and threats. He described it as shameful that students at Carolineskolen had to attend school under armed police protection, and noted that Danish Jews were now facing even more harassment and threats. Vanopslagh wrote that Israel had the right to defend itself but also bore responsibility for its actions. He described the civilian suffering in Gaza as terrible and believed that Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank deserved serious criticism. He wrote that peace required a confrontation within Palestinian society regarding the notion that Israel could be wiped out. At the same time, he urged the far-left in Europe to stop supporting those who maintained that idea and criticized the alliance between the left and radical Islamists. Vanopslagh wrote that he would fight for Jews to live safely in Denmark, to wear kippahs and Stars of David, to go to synagogue, and to send their children to school without fear or armed guards. He wrote that Liberal Alliance would wholeheartedly stand by them and defend their freedom. #Antisemitisme #Danmark #Israel (translated)

Jotam Confino wrote that the other day he had photographed a father and daughter in Tel Aviv, as they looked at pictures of the victims of the massacre on October 7 and fallen soldiers. The image made him think about how difficult it must be for a parent to explain to their daughter what had happened that day, and what he described as the subsequent wave of antisemitism. Confino wrote that the massacre had been celebrated by millions around the world, including in Denmark, and that civilians had been executed, kidnapped, tortured, raped, burned, and beheaded. He claimed that the event had triggered the largest wave of hatred against Jews since World War II, and that Hamas was planning attacks against Jews in Europe, while Islamists and the extreme left demonstrated with Hamas flags, including in Copenhagen. He further wrote that Western professors praised the massacre, and that educators at Copenhagen University wished for the destruction of Israel's military. He described Israel as the safest place for a girl of Jewish background to grow up, despite wars and terrorist attacks, and wrote that one day she would have to serve mandatory military service. He also mentioned that Jews were being killed in Sydney, that synagogues were attacked and subjected to demonstrations, and that it had become common to declare oneself anti-Zionist. According to Confino, memorial services for the victims required extensive police protection due to demonstrators. In conclusion, he wrote that he had great respect for parents who could explain to children how cruel the world could be without taking away their hope. He was not sure that he himself would be able to handle that task. #Israel #Antisemitisme #Fremtid (translated)

Eva Gregersen wrote that the government, according to her information, would reintroduce a bill on Danish citizenship for 2,055 applicants and their 1,039 children without first screening them for anti-democratic views. She believed that the Social Democrats were thus yielding to the value-political left. In a column in Berlingske in February, Gregersen had predicted that at least 600 people with the same ideological standpoint as an applicant, whom Stoklund had allegedly rejected the year before due to their values, would obtain citizenship. She also referred to Wilkes' study for Jyllands-Posten from 2024, which according to her showed that 54 percent of Muslims living in Denmark believed that the dictates of the Koran should be followed fully. Gregersen pointed out that Mette Frederiksen had stated from the podium of the Folketing that it was incompatible with Danish society to take the words of the Koran at face value. Gregersen agreed with that assessment and called it national self-harm to continue granting citizenship to so many people, whom she believed could be expected to follow the dictates of the Koran. #udlændingepolitik #danskpolitik #statsborgerskab (translated)

Steffen Larsen wrote that, in his opinion, it did not help to burn down a school if one was dissatisfied with it, and that it was easier to improve the school if it still stood. He added that he was not a Marxist, and related this to his understanding of causality. Larsen claimed that the left and the Islamists were united in a struggle to destroy France and Europe and the secular French societies as well as the norms on which the country's education was based. He wrote that it was crucial that they did not succeed, because in his view it would be devastating both in the short and long term. #dkpol #danskpolitik #uddannelse #samfund (translated)

Henrik Dahl described a post as odd and wrote that Le Figaro had documented, according to him, that the uprising was led by the far-left party La France Insoumise (LFI). He also claimed that the LFI mayor of Saint-Denis had explicitly supported the riots and that many protesters carried Palestinian flags. Dahl therefore characterized the protests as a form of intifada led by LFI. #Frankrig #Demonstration #Politik (translated)

I betragtning af hvor utrolig meget advarsler om nazismens og fascismens genkomst har fyldt hos store dele af venstrefløjen post-WW2, er det alligevel lidt pudsigt hvor fraværende, de synes at være i nogle ellers ret oplagte sammenhænge. https://t.co/c4J25RBKCG #nazisme #fascisme #venstrefløj

Venstrefløjens ord: Klimaet er det vigtigste overhovedet, og det næstvigtigste er at løse at folk ikke har råd til noget mere. Venstrefløjens handling: Lad os gøre grønne biler dyrere. https://t.co/RbJduBqQM3 #klima #økonomi #venstrefløj

Under Muhammedkrisen blev det igen og igen fremført af den islam-apologetiske venstrefløj som argument mod publiceringen af tegningerne, at vi nok har ytringsfrihed. Men vi har ikke ytringspligt. Efter Ed Sheeran og Macklemore-balladen står det nu klart, at det har ændret sig. Nu har man ifølge den samme fløj ytringspligt. Ed Sheeran har, uanset hvad han selv ønsker, pligt til at angive sin holdning til konflikten mellem Israel og Hamas. Fra scenen, tak! Eneste fællesnævner er de brændestabler, der falder ned, hvis man ifølge islamisterne og deres allierede på venstrefløjen formaster sig til at sige eller tegne noget, der på mindste måde anses for forkert. #ytringsfrihed #ytringspligt #islam

Hvorfor stemmer islamister på den yderste venstrefløj? Det gør de, fordi den yderste venstrefløj hjælper med at fremme deres dagsordener. Et eksempel er kønsopdelt svømning, som @Enhedslisten medlem af Borgerrepræsentationen, @KlausGHenryksen, her kæmper for. I indlægget udviser han en komplet mangel på forståelse for emnet og for de dynamikker, han understøtter. »Kønsopdelt idræt er hverken nyt eller specielt muslimsk. Dansk foreningsidræt har i generationer haft pigehold, drengehold, kvindehold og herrehold.« Her ignorerer han fuldstændig det faktum, at en mand godt må være tilskuer eller dommer, når et pigehold spiller fodbold. Denne form for kønsblanding er ikke tilladt i den muslimske kønsopdeling i svømmehallen. Her må far blive væk, ligesom mandlige livreddere eller rengøringspersonale er et no-go. Denne form for religiøst begrundet kønsapartheid er lige præcis ret muslimsk og væsensforskellig fra den almindelige kønsopdelte idræt, som man kender den fra det danske foreningsliv. Jeg mener ikke, at vi som stat eller kommune skal understøtte den slags kønsdiskriminerende, patriarkalsk praksis. Det mener Klaus og Enhedslisten, at vi skal. Og derfor stemmer islamister på dem. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #kønsdiskrimination #islamisme

Konservative i sin nuværende form er helt sikkert den flinke fyr i den borgerlige klasse, der tiltrækker folk, der enormt gerne vil se sig selv som de pæne borgerlige; det er bare ikke tilstrækkeligt med de udfordringer, vi står overfor. Konservative har ikke længere særligt meget vægt på Gud, Konge og Fædreland andet end på papiret; partiet er reelt Radikale Venstre light: samme globalisme og progressivisme, bare lidt langsommere, da Konservatives nuværende linje følger overtonvinduet, som den radikale venstrefløj har lavet spillereglerne for — og det vil altid ende i progressivisme, aldrig konservatisme. Men der skal da nok være stemmer i det. #politik #konservatisme #samfund

Hvornår stopper det med at pible frem med afsløringer af, hvad udviklingsbistanden bliver spildt på? Denne gang har man kylet et par hundredetusind kroner efter en aktivistisk forening, som har sendt "10 haveentusiaster" på studietur til Guatemala! Interssant. Disse haveentusiaster er så taget tilbage til Danmark for at bygge en "klimahave" efter guatemalansk forbillede. Muligvis ganske hyggelig for de ti særdeles heldige haveentusiaster, som får lov til at spilde skatteyderes penge på deres hobby. Men hvordan det ligefrem hjælper værdigt trængende i udviklingslandene er dog lidt uklart for mig. Til gengæld kan jeg sikkerhed konstatere, at det er så grotesk respektløs, at vi finder os i det her. Og jeg kan simpelthen ikke forstå, at Lars Løkke i en uhellig alliance med venstrefløjen fortsat insisterer på, at der ikke er plads til den mindste forbedring her. #udviklingsbistand #klimahave #skatteyderpenge

Valg i Sverige🇸🇪 Et mandat er flyttet fra venstrefløjen og over til højrefløjen - men mere flytter der sig med al sandsynlighed ikke. Dermed ender venstrefløjspartierne med en valgsejr, hvilket i bund og grund sker som følge af at mange indvandrere og efterkommere som har fået stemmeret. Må det blive et wake-up call for ikke bare Danmark, men også for resten af Europa og Vesten. #Valg2023 #Sverige #Politik

Igen i dag leverer Danmarks Radio værdipolitisk venstreorienteret journalistik af netop den type, jeg har kritiseret hen over sommeren. Socialdemokratiet holder årsmøde denne weekend, og som optakt har DR forberedt et angreb på Mette Frederiksens linje i spørgsmålet om tildeling af statsborgerskab. Aktuelt er tildelingen sat på pause, mens man afventer en ekspertgruppes anbefalinger vedrørende en screening af ansøgerne for antidemokratiske holdninger. DR har ringet rundt til 183 socialdemokratiske kreds- og foreningsformænd og spurgt: "Da der blev udskrevet folketingsvalg, bortfaldt et lovforslag, der ville gøre godt 2.000 udenlandske ansøgere til danske statsborgere. Selvom de opfyldte alle kravene for statsborgerskab, venter de nu på ubestemt tid svar på ansøgningen. Mener du, at det lovforslag skal genfremsættes, så de bliver statsborgere, før der næste år skal forhandles om en ny indfødsretsaftale?" Af de 59 lokale formænd, der har svaret, siger 30 ja, og nogle af dem taler DR så med. Herefter kan DR berette om en "uro" i partiet, som DR selv har tilvejebragt. I P1 Morgen hører vi også fra en amerikansk ansøger, der står på lovforslaget og som er lektor på DTU. Ham vil samtlige politikere i Folketinget garanteret gerne give statsborgerskab. Igen har DR altså udvalgt en vestlig case, selvom kun 30% af ansøgerne på lovforslaget er fra vestlige lande, og selvom det ikke er de vestlige ansøgere, hvis demokratiske sindelag der er grund til at betvivle. P1 Morgen afspiller også klip med tidligere fremført kritik fra indfødsretsordførerne Magnus Georg Jensen og Morten E. G. Brautsch @MortenEG fra henholdsvis @radikale og @moderaterne_dk. Til sidst konfronteres skurken i skikkelse af den socialdemokratiske indfødsretsordfører Katrine Evelyn Jensen @katrineevelyn i et fokuseret forsøg på at få @Spolitik til at bøje sig for presset og genfremsætte lovforslaget. Det skinner tydeligt igennem i det journalistiske fremstød, at Socialdemokratiets linje opfattes som indlysende forkert. Det er, som om journalisterne hos DR slet ikke kan begribe, hvordan man kan anskue det vigtige spørgsmål om tildeling af statsborgerskab fra andre perspektiver end den værdipolitiske venstrefløjs. Og den bias er altså et alvorligt problem, når vi taler om vores alle sammens public service-mastodont. #journalistik #politik #statsborgerskab
