Der Spiegel accuses the Russians of what the Germans are guilty themselves. The dissident journalist Boris Reitschuster has been excluded from the Bundespressekonferenz for no reason other than his permanent critical questions of government policies. The German justice system has become a political tool of the government just like it did in the USA. Judges who are doing their job and refuse to pull government line get their homes raided by police and their jobs threatened.

The cause for this development lies in the deterioration of the media (with Der Spiegel right at the forefront) into a new church that claims absolute truth and demonizes everybody who disagrees as "right-wingers" or "conspiracy theorists". Politicians have realized this development and learned to tap into this new church power by formally kowtowing before the media and pledging themselves for their gods, like the climate god, the COVID god, or race, gender and the rest of the usual insanities.

Maybe you're an Reitschuster expert, but when I just checked it says he was removed from the press group because he said he was based in Montenegro, while that group are only for Berlin and Bonn based press.

It has no bearing really on the article at hand, other than an attempt at whataboutism. And while you're at it,

everybody who disagrees as "right-wingers" or "conspiracy theorists"

I wonder, in your mind, do right wing conspiracy theorists exist? Are there any people out there who match that description? Or is the whole concept of "right wing conspiracy theorist" a fabrication of the press, in your eyes? If there are people for whom that description is true, then....why are you complaining about them being called as such? And if you dont believe anyone in the world is a right wing conspiracists, I'd suggest you stick around on saidit a bit longer, you'll run into them

Thats the official reason but it is obvious bullshit because many other journalists arent living in Berlin or Bonn and yet they are still members. Unlike many other members who rarely show up in person, Reitschuster was always present in person which means even though he might live abroad on paper, he actually spent most of his time in Berlin.

How would that be relevant?

obvious bullshit

Its not obvious

many other journalists

Are you pulling this out your ass?

How would that be relevant?

I don't know why you thought any of this was relevant. But seeing as you bought up how the OP publisher was calling someone a right wing conspiracist, I'd like you to make a counterargument explaining who you're talking about and why you decided Der Spiegel labeled them incorrectly.

Yes, it is obvious. If the Bundespressekonferenz (and many of its members including Spiegel journalists) had even the slightest interest in keeping a superficial air of freedom of press they would not have excluded the ONLY DISSIDENT JOURNALIST IN THE ROOM.

Needless to say Reitschuster was member for many years and never did anybody object to his residency in Montenegro. It was his permanent political criticism of COVID policies that made him a target, and yes it is FUCKING OBVIOUS you ridiculous tool.

Boring whataboutism. You big baby. Are you going to cry because some moron science denialists can't hang out with the press club anymore. Give me a break you whining child. What a stupid tiny thing for you to spend so much energy on

what i took the point to be is sure they exist, but not everyone who is called that title fits. and it is used to group people together, then disregard them. rather than just classifying them as you seemed to mean.

but that’s just my thoughts on what feldheld meant.
