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)

Morten Messerschmidt criticized Lars Løkke Rasmussen for allegedly saying to Berlingske that the voters of the Danish People's Party lacked knowledge and education. Messerschmidt felt that the statement suggested that the voters were idiots, and he called it disrespectful to the 14 percent of Danes who, according to him, would vote for the party – over 600,000 people. He wrote that voters could be called uneducated if the desire to protect Denmark, deport criminal foreigners, lower VAT and taxes, or give families more time together was viewed that way. Messerschmidt stated that he himself saw the desire to take care of Denmark as an expression of education and thanked the voters of the Danish People's Party for their courage. #DanskPolitik #DF #Vælgere (translated)

Regarding the shortage of experts in institutional inspection, Szilvia Gyurkó announced that due to the inadequacy of the previous examination methods, a new approach will be introduced, as part of which the duration of the inspections will increase to 6-8 weeks. #szakemberek (translated)

Mona Juul wrote that she rarely gave space to political opponents and colleagues on her side, but this time she thought it was important to highlight their warnings about misinformation. She mentioned, among other things, that Stinus Lindgreen from the Radical Left had written about daily Russian misinformation on social media and his concern that parts of the population had lost trust in the authorities. According to Juul, Karsten Hønge from SF had described lies and manipulations from the Kremlin, while Troels Lund Poulsen from the Liberal party had talked about anonymous profiles, conspiracy theories, and accusations directed at him. Alex Vanopslagh from the Liberal Alliance had written that Russia spread propaganda, and Ida Auken had warned that actors from St. Petersburg influenced who won Danish elections. Juul wrote that she herself saw conspiracy theories, deliberate misinformation, AI-generated lies, and Russian bot accounts on social media. She called the development a challenge for Danish democracy and believed that politicians must stand together because the truth was under pressure. She highlighted Danish news media and journalists as important for democratic information because the media had accountable editors-in-chief and were responsible to the Danish people and the Press Council. At the same time, she warned against videos on X, whose authenticity could not be established. Juul thanked her political colleagues for addressing coordinated misinformation and said that Russia wanted to create distrust among people. In response, she called for solidarity. #Misinformation #Demokrati #Sammenhold (translated)

Peter Rasmussen wrote that several employees at B.T. had sent a so-called "concern letter" to editor-in-chief Simon Richard Nielsen because they believed, according to his presentation, that the newspaper's editorial line was too right-leaning. He described it as a showdown between the newspaper's line and left-leaning journalists. Rasmussen believed that B.T. lacked enough value-politically right-leaning journalists to run the newspaper without such a showdown. He also wrote that the newspaper was under pressure to moderate its line but claimed that the Danish population lay significantly to the right of the media. According to him, B.T. therefore filled a gap in the media landscape that no other media covered. He urged Simon Richard Nielsen to maintain the editorial line and wrote that a change could make B.T. unnecessary. #dkmedier https://t.co/IZEtDErAVd #dkmedier #journalistik #venstreorienteret (translated)

“Yes. The pneumonia-plague, if we want to call it that. It is a disease that we could previously control. But somehow these microbes have become stronger and smarter. They are like an army. The pathogens have indeed become relatively stronger than they were before, and the methods that used to work against pneumonia are no longer as effective.” U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the death is “a big problem for Russia” and offered to help Moscow handle the situation. #pestis #Oroszország #DonaldTrump (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the blue bloc stood united in rejecting Henrik Frandsen as a candidate for the position of Speaker of the Folketing. After the Alternative also stated that the party would reject him, it was, according to Messerschmidt, the government majority along with the Red-Green Alliance that determined the outcome of today's meeting. He criticized the Red-Green Alliance for overlooking what had recently come to light about Frandsen and called it a sign that the party had become conformist. Messerschmidt wrote that for him, the issue concerned the institution of the Folketing and not Frandsen as a person. He believed that the position of Speaker required parliamentary experience and authority, and that the Speaker should safeguard the independence of the Folketing from the government. Messerschmidt also wrote that, in his assessment, Frandsen would not become the trusted man of the Folketing, but was primarily Lars Løkke Rasmussen's man. This strengthened his belief, according to the post, that it was the right decision to make himself available for the Presidium of the Folketing. He added that the Danish People's Party would ensure the greatest possible resistance to what he described as the government's overreach leading up to the next parliamentary election. #Folketinget #politik #Demokrati (translated)

Mr. Bedrock mentioned that he had been seeing mods that mixed video games, like Elden Ring and Minecraft, for days, and that he would like to try them and record them. However, he pointed out that he had little time to research what was needed to run them. He also asked if anyone had experimented with them and if they were accessible to the public. #mods #EldenRing #Minecraft (translated)

Mikkel Bjørn wrote that the government and the Social Democrats would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for over 3,000 individuals, even though the party had previously promised not to present it. He stated that over 70 percent of the applicants were from non-Western countries, including MENAPT, and that nearly 40 percent were from MENAPT. According to Bjørn, the largest single group was Syrian refugees, whom he described as temporary. Bjørn pointed out that the Social Democrats had previously referred to the reception of Syrian refugees as temporary, and wrote that Syrians who marched on the motorways in 2015 now constituted the largest group in the bill ten years later. He also claimed that the party had promised to introduce a new model designed to prevent Islamists, anti-democrats, and terror sympathizers from obtaining citizenship, as well as a new system to investigate applicants’ criminal records. According to Bjørn, the bill would be presented without screening, and he questioned whether the plans for criminal investigations had been abandoned. He wrote that Islamists, anti-democrats, criminals, and individuals with limited Danish skills could thus obtain citizenship. He called it a failure and criticized the Social Democrats for entering into government with the Radicals. #danskpolitik #flygtninge #statsborgerskab (translated)

Mikkel Bjørn wrote that the government apparently intended to reintroduce L98 on the granting of citizenship without screening, even though, according to him, it had claimed the opposite. He also wrote that Islamists and anti-democrats could soon again receive citizenship, despite the fact that the Social Democrats had promised the opposite according to him. #statsborgerskab #politiksdk #danmark (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that leftist educators who cannot tolerate dissent, and conservative students who must self-censor, are thankfully only a problem in the USA. With a rhetorical question, she suggested that similar conditions could also be applicable in Denmark. #undervisning #ytringsfrihed #politikk (translated)

Today, the Parliament showed its ugliest side. Before the election, Pelle Dragsted promised that his first political proposal would be to reinstate Great Prayer Day. An hour ago, when we voted on the Danish People's Party's proposal to reinstate Great Prayer Day now and not in 2030, the Unity List voted against it. Before the election, Pia Olsen Dyhr promised the students that she would not cut their student grants. Now she and the Socialist Party are cutting the student grants to finance the government's budget. Before the election, Mette Frederiksen promised that the punishment should fit the crime. Nevertheless, the Social Democrats voted against it when we voted an hour ago on the Danish People's Party's proposal that murderers like Elias Shegow, who stoned a 13-year-old girl, should not receive a reduced sentence. And do you know what the worst part is? That these arrogant politicians probably don't even feel the slightest shame over their blatant lies and voter deception. Just think... They stand on nationwide TV and promise the Danish people one thing. And when the election is over, they go right down to the Parliament and vote the exact opposite, hoping that the Danes won't notice it. They should be ashamed. #politik #valg #fagforening (translated)

Jeg har egentlig for længst besluttet ikke at svare på Poyas perfide personangreb eller hans skriverier om en region, han intet ved om eller har nogen som helst erfaring med at dække – men selvmålet er simpelthen for stort til ikke at pointere det håbløst absurde i, at han velvilligt og utrætteligt de sidste par år har gentaget udokumenterede påstande fra Hamas. Det er f.eks. helt okay at videreformidle historier og tabstal fra Hamas’ “sundhedsministerium”, som ikke skelner mellem kombattanter og civile (Hamas er en valid kilde, må man forstå -modsat IDF der jævnligt publicerer dokumentation for deres påstande). Altså Hamas, som selv offentliggør nekrologer over barnesoldater, der alle ryger i statistikken over dræbte i Gaza – men som civile, selvfølgelig. For et par år tilbage ville jeg være røget i flæsket på Poya over hans ekstremt provokerende og nedladende angreb – både på min person og mit professionelle virke. Over, at han vitterligt ingen respekt har for den erfaring, jeg har som journalist, eller de historier, jeg har dækket og stadig dækker for store internationale medier. At jeg ofte sætter livet på spil for at viderebringe de historier til jer derhjemme. Han deklarerede hånligt på et tidspunkt, at den værste krigsskade, jeg havde pådraget mig, var en solforbrænding i Tel Aviv. Et opslag, som folketingsmedlemmer fra Enhedslisten og Radikale Venstre rask væk likede i deres iver efter at nedgøre mig. Men i dag vælger jeg at holde igen med den tirade af modangreb, jeg ellers mener 100% på sin plads – specielt når det kommer til Poyas faglige kunnen eller mangel på samme. For den slags angreb har skadet mig langt mere, end de har gavnet mig har jeg lært med tiden. Derfor ligger jeg heller ikke længere i åbne slagsmål på sociale medier, hvilket nogle af jer måske har noteret. Jeg vælger derfor i stedet at skrive, at jeg oprigtigt har ondt af Poya. Virkelig. Det må ikke være sjovt at blive så indigneret over, at en dansk journalist viderebringer information fra en part i en krig, alt imens man lystigt viderebringer information fra en af verdens mest ondskabsfulde terrorgrupper. Jeg har sagt det før, Poya - jeg har absolut ingen interesse i at hverken skrive eller diskutere med dig. Det er langt under mit niveau. Jeg håber derfor du vil kanalisere din vrede en anden vej. Det ville klæde dig. #Journalistik #Mellemøsten #Ytringsfrihed
