Und wenn die LINKE jetzt noch Wagenknecht rausmobbt, ihre intelligenteste Spitzenpolitikerin, gehen sie den gleichen Weg: steil abwärts. Die LINKE droht sogar an der 5%-Hürde zu scheitern. Wenn ihnen dann auch noch 3 Direktmandate fehlen, fliegen sie aus dem Bundestag.

„Objektiver“ Journalismus: Wenn Til Schweiger sich mit einem „Corona-Schwurbler“ trifft.

Was soll bitte ein „Corona-Schwurbler“ sein? Ist ein Corona-Schwurbler jemand, der die These vertritt, das Virus könnte aus einem Labor stammen? Ist ein Corona-Schwurbler ein Bürger, der die ja nicht so völlig in Abrede zu stellende Auffassung vertritt, auch in einer Pandemie dürften „Grundrechte keinen Ausschalter“ haben – so wie unsere ehemalige Bundesjustizministerin Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger? Genauso die Bezeichnung „Querdenker-Journalist“. Was soll das denn jetzt sein?

Starpianist Martin Stadtfeld: „Wer möchte in einer solchen Dystopie leben?“

Als der Schauspieler, Filmemacher und Produzent Til Schweiger am Sonntag seinen knapp 500.000 Instagram-Followern mitteilte, dass er mit Boris Reitschuster befreundet und dieser sein Held sei, trat er damit postwendend eine breit angelegte und massenmedial begleitete Diffamierungskampagne gegen sich und den Gründer von reitschuster.de los.

Dieses Risikos war sich sicherlich auch der deutsche Starpianist Martin Stadtfeld bewusst, als er seinen Gastbeitrag für das Magazin „Cicero“ schrieb…

Die Hetzjäger – Medien auf totalitären Abwegen: Til Schweigers Foto mit mir und der Sturm im Medienglas

Nur eines ärgert mich an der Sache: Dass man, statt schönen Analysen, gelegentlich Artikel wie diesen schreiben muss. Die Hetzjäger sind Zeitdiebe. Und damit sie damit nicht wirklich erfolgreich sind, beende ich diesen Text hier. Ich könnte die ganze Hetze selbst nicht einmal annähernd so gut beschreiben, wie sie das durch ihre Hetze selbst tun.

Yet Another Media Tale — Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op — Collapses

The IG‘s conclusion could not be clearer: the media narrative was false from start to finish. Namely, he said, “the evidence did not support a finding that the [U.S. Park Police] cleared the park on June 1, 2020, so that then President Trump could enter the park.” Instead — exactly as Hemingway‘s widely-mocked-by-liberal-outlets article reported — “the evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install anti-scale fencing in response to destruction of Federal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31.” Crucially, “the evidence established that relevant USPP officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential Presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day.“

Britain is still paying the price for the original sin of locking down

I remind you of these things not to mock the Government’s lack of foresight, but to question whether it has ever been straight with us. Suppose that back in March 2020 the Prime Minister had said that he would micro-manage our lives by law, not for at least three weeks but for at least 17 months. Would the British people would have submitted as meekly as they did? I doubt it.

It doesn’t matter what you say, Prime Minister – June 21 will still be our Freedom Day

No wonder the Brothers Grim, Whitty and Vallance, looked ill at ease as they attempted to pass off hugely encouraging charts as looming calamity. Because the physical Covid numbers are now so low, they resorted to percentages instead. Hospital admissions had increased “by 50 per cent in a week”, warned the Chief Medical Officer.

A 50 per cent increase in Covid patients sounds really bad, doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t. NHS England reported 137 Covid admissions on June 12
