  • As independent media, we don't have to participate in the current Gleichshaltung. Apparently my fellow Dutch people need to be reminded about MH17. And the shameful #nietOnzeOorlog mentality Am I in the wrong country, and a populist is an outgrowth of the culture? I'm scared sometimes. Nope, I stay, and hold accountable. Here, Denys speaks directly, calling the prick a prick. https://youtu.be/d60xeI9n6WE?t=572
  • Wilders has threatened to deal with all of them at one point or another. During the campaign, he was silent on this part of his repertoire, in favour of talking about the cost of living and migration, but his party programme was as extreme as ever. Given that his BFF is Viktor Orbán, there is absolutely no reason to dismiss these threats as purely hypothetical." :https://sophieintveld.substack.com/p/the-hangover

Elections

  • On Russian state TV they're predictably delighted with the Dutch election result https://twitter.com/i/status/1727661454550073528
  • https://youtu.be/d60xeI9n6WE?t=572 Apparently my fellow Dutch people need to be reminded about MH17. The posting date, 1.3.2018 places Wilders' presence in Russia a year and a half after a Dutch-led team of prosecuters presented the evidence of Russian weaponry, and a Russian launch from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
  • Journalists, judges, civil-rights lawyers, teachers, academics - Wilders has threatened to deal with all of them at one point or another. During the campaign, he was silent on this part of his repertoire, in favour of talking about the cost of living and migration, but his party programme was as extreme as ever.

The event will comprise of two moderated conversations with a short break in between.

Against the backdrop of the war with Ukraine, the Russian government has sharply increased funding for state media, resulting in an unprecedented level of state propaganda spread on social media platforms. As a consequence, US and EU lawmakers and Ukrainian officials have jolted into action by pressuring social media platforms in an attempt to curb Russian misinformation. This seems to be a watershed moment regarding freedom of the press and internet freedom. We discuss what is at stake with internet activists and journalists directly involved in war-news production. https://www.spui25.nl/programma/the-european-internet-blockade-of-russian-propagandist-media

  • Van fact-checking tot argument-checking

Nieuwsverslaggeving lijkt steeds meer op een vorm van oorlog: feiten worden gepareerd met ‘alternatieve feiten’, fake news bestookt voortdurend de mainstream media, en men spreekt zelfs van ‘informatieoorlog’ of ‘informatieterreur’. Kunnen we aan de taal van journalisten en mediaorganisaties nog aflezen of het klopt wat ze zeggen, of is dat onmogelijk geworden? En wat kunnen we doen om de situatie te verbeteren? Vier experts op het gebied van het bestrijden van desinformatie gaan hierover met elkaar in gesprek. https://spui25.nl/programma/van-fact-checking-tot-argument-checking
