Shocking data.

Remix:

A new study by the Technical University of Dortmund has found that nearly two-thirds of German journalists show political preferences leaning toward left-green parties, confirming what critics have claimed about an ideological bias within the mainstream media.

The study, conducted with 525 journalists between March and June 2024, reveals that 63 percent of respondents support the Greens, the Social Democrats (SPD), or the Left Party.

Of those with a political leaning, 41 percent back the Greens alone — a figure nearly four times higher than the party’s general support among the German population.

When isolating only journalists who expressed a party preference (77 percent of respondents), the alignment with left-green parties rose to 82 percent, highlighting an overwhelming skew in favor of liberal parties.

Notably absent from journalist support is the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), which wasn’t even listed as an option, despite the anti-immigration party maintaining between 15 to 20 percent support among the general public.

In total, the Greens garnered 41 percent of support followed by the SPD (16 percent), CDU (8 percent), the Left (6 percent), FDP (3 percent), and BSW (1 percent).

Some 2 percent of respondents opted for “other parties” while 23 percent said they have no party preference.

…

Despite the prevalence of left-green preferences, most journalists believe that their political affiliations have little impact on reporting. According to the study, 37 percent of journalists think their political leanings do not influence their coverage, while 27 percent admitted their preferences may affect the emphasis of their reporting.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s fine.

Political bias has never effected Daily Stormer’s news coverage.

If diversity’s so great, why are there no white people working at Deutsche Welle?

Oh.

So it was all a big hoax?

Interesting.

Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior has been accused of exaggerating the number of attacks by suspected right-wing extremists on asylum centers.

An investigation by the German news outlet Nius found that just eight of the 80 cases reported by Interior Minister Nancy Faesar’s department in the first half of 2023 were direct attacks on inhabited asylum accommodations, and just one case had been attributed to a known suspect with right-wing sympathies.

Nius published the findings of its investigation on Monday, having spoken to the relevant local police departments and public prosecutors to ascertain the facts of individual cases included in the federal department’s figures.

Germany’s interior minister is a fat woman

Of the eight attacks on asylum accommodations corroborated by the news outlet, six of the cases had no known suspect, yet all cases had been assigned to right-wing perpetrators. Five of the attacks in question pertained to the smashing of windows, while there was one case of arson. In the last confirmed attack, the suspect was a Syrian national who attacked a Lebanese security guard outside an asylum center and was lumped into the category of right-wing extremism by the interior ministry.

This means that 90 percent of the cases the department claims were right-wing attacks on asylum centers did not involve inhabited accommodations, and just one in 80 cases was a confirmed attack at an inhabited refugee center by right-wing suspects. This one relates to an incident in Teterow on June 6 when three drunken German nationals attacked a security guard and set off firecrackers at a premises being used to house refugees.

Nius provides a case summary of every incident detailed by the ministry. A majority of the cases have no known suspect but are labeled as right-wing attacks, while other tenuous links used to categorize incidents as examples of right-wing extremism include the spraying of graffiti on uninhabited refugee centers and, in one case, a German suspect who is said to have made inflammatory statements toward a person of another nationality.

In one instance, a 59-year-old who insulted a police officer during a demonstration in Schleusingen on May 10 was included in the figures, despite the town having no refugee center and there being no involvement of any refugee accommodation or asylum seekers.

Similarly, on June 26, a case of right-wing extremism against refugees involved a fire in a garbage can in Beckum, which the local police stated was “near a refugee home.” The authorities told Nius that there was “no damage to buildings or people” and “there is still no suspect.”

Under this definition, this could be considered a “right-wing attack”:

Seriously. There’s a white guy there, and there’s violence. Right?

In reality, white people are abstaining from violence in an absurd way. There is no other group of people who would tolerate the amount of abuse whites are suffering without resorting to violence.

Of course, I don’t encourage violence. I’m just saying as a basic matter, this is the first time in history any group has tolerated this level of oppression and physical displacement without responding with mass violence. Western governments are doing things now that Stalin never would have even imagined doing, for fear of revolt.

It proves the media system is working, I guess.
