Was für ein wildes Framing vom #Spiegel
#Bareiß von der #CDU hat keinen schweren Unfall 'gehabt' sondern einen schweren Unfall verursacht und 'synthetische Betäubungsmittel' klingt viel harmloser als "Drogen". Und er nimmt auch keine 'Auszeit' - die Staatanwaltschaft ermittelt.

Die Opfer kommen gar nicht vor.

Korrekt lautet es also:

"Thomas #Bareiß hat unter Drogeneinfluss einen schweren Unfall mit drei Schwerverletzten verursacht."

Echter Journalismus.
Das wär' mal wieder was.

A fascinating article about how a group of journalists working for the Hungary state news agency quietly documented all the ways the news was manipulated under the Orbán regime. They have now released a detailed report.

Among many things, this is a terrific example of resistance during the rule of authoritarian regimes. Document, document, document the abuses because one day the sun will shine and the truth can be revealed.

Done: "Let's add a delay so malware can be discovered while many haven't installed it yet"
Next up: "Everyone uses the delay now so nobody finds the malware"
Then: "Let's assign people to take a look at packages during the delay phase"
Then: "Our reviewers can't keep up so malware still slips through. Let's replace the time-based delay with a flag reviewers need to set once they're done."
