Susanne wrote that she received similar responses almost daily and that her energy and motivation were decreasing. She described the cabinet as very harmful and characterized the D66 Prime Minister as incompetent and lacking leadership qualities. According to her, nothing was changing and the opposition offered her little support. She stated that parliamentary journalism continued to fall short: in her view, too much information about the cabinet was not shared with the public and many journalists lacked dossier knowledge or connection with right-wing voters to ask the right questions. Susanne wrote that she found national politics just as bad as many of her followers did, and she would prefer to stop. However, since many people relied on her tweets, she wanted to continue for now, but with less enthusiasm. #TweedeKamer #Politiek #Democratie #Oppositie (translated)

Dr. Sc. Ferdinand Meeus wondered why the same messages appeared at the same time with the same one-sided story. He stated that most media in the Netherlands and Belgium are controlled by one Belgian family, Van Thillo, which he claimed had received loans of 220 million euros from the European Bank to support EU objectives. Meeus sarcastically remarked that this, of course, had no influence on the editorial offices. #media #journalistiek #NLBe (translated)

Claudia van Zanten referred to a report from Het Parool stating that the Israeli army questioned the interviews without providing evidence for it. According to Van Zanten, the interviews with 24 IDF soldiers were anonymous, it was not proven that the interviewees were actually soldiers, and their motives were unknown. She wrote that Het Parool should have critically evaluated the interviews themselves if it took journalistic codes seriously. Van Zanten stated that many media present opinions they agree with as facts, and as a result, facts no longer count. https://t.co/MWtPnSO57t #media #journalistiek #Israël (translated)

Hans van Tellingen referred to the NOS news coverage about flooding and wildfires in Spain as a journalistic failure and disputed the suggestion that climate change was to blame. He wrote that, in his view, wildfires were not occurring more frequently and that there was even a slight downward trend. He also stated that autumn flooding in Spain would not increase. Van Tellingen pointed to DANA, a natural phenomenon that, according to him, has affected Spain for centuries, and argued that poor water management worsened the effects. He asked whether Franco had diverted the Turia River in the 1950s to protect Valencia from flooding. Van Tellingen described himself as a geographer and data expert. #klimaatverandering #journalistiek #overstromingen (translated)

Susanne predicted that the PR machine of the VVD would promote Annemarie Jorritsma and Halbe Zijlstra in the following week. According to her, this trio was always deployed whenever the VVD fell in the polls and talk shows were used for that purpose. She referred to it as "journalistic prostitution." #Journalistiek #VVD #Politiek #Journalistiek (translated)

Marianne Zwagerman wrote that the VVD, after what she described as a disastrous budget debate, stood at twelve seats in the latest poll by Maurice de Hond. With that, according to her, the party of Dilan Yeşilgöz matched its low point from 2008. Zwagerman stated that the VVD had abandoned its principles in the debate. She also wrote that nearly seven out of ten voters expected, according to the poll, that new elections would not yield a stable government. In a broadcast of *Dwars door de Politiek*, Zwagerman and De Hond would discuss the political options available. Furthermore, she reported that complaints had been filed with the Advertising Code Commission regarding their radio commercials and that on October 16 the case of De Hond against Maarten Keulemans would be heard by the Press Council. On October 8, De Hond would have been an opinion pollster for fifty years. Zwagerman announced that the broadcast could be followed live on Sunday at 8:00 PM via YouTube, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. https://t.co/NSPlGEhUuA #VVD #Politiek #Verkiezingen (translated)

Mick van Wely wrote that earlier that week he was shocked by reports in which the thwarted terrorist attack on a FlyDubai aircraft was described by some media as a fight in the cockpit.
