Man muss Charlie Kirks Meinungen und Positionen nicht teilen, um mit Anstand und journalistischer Sorgfalt über seinen Mord zu berichten. Das ZDF ist dieser Aufgabe an einem Abend gleich zweimal nicht gerecht geworden – mit Herrn Thevesen und Frau Hayali –, indem es Kirks Wirken durch irreführende Unterstellungen verzerrt dargestellt hat. Der dramatische Vertrauensverlust, den der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk derzeit erlebt, ist ein ernstes Problem, dem sich die Anstalten endlich stellen müssen.

🚨DEVELOPING: Germany is now launching an international manhunt (!) for a man, just to throw him into a women’s prison. You can’t parody this country anymore. BACKGROUND: Marla-Svenja Liebich is biologically male. For years, he was known as a right-wing activist in Chemnitz, constantly clashing with authorities. After receiving a prison sentence for calling queer people “parasites of society” and tattooing a Star of David with the word “unvaccinated,” he suddenly declared himself female and invoked Germany’s new Selbstbestimmungsgesetz, a law that allows anyone to legally change their gender based on self-identification. By doing so, he forced the state to classify him as a woman and assign him to a women’s prison. Instead of serving his time, however, he fled abroad yesterday. Now Germany is staging a full-blown international manhunt to catch a guy who outsmarted their own clown-law, just so they can lock him up in a women’s prison. 🤡🌎
