Our response to Rezo: The mockery of the press

Rezo has reported once again to the word. With his Video "the destruction of The press" he wants to, allegedly, on abuses in the German media landscape indicate that he sees as partly responsible for the Belief in conspiracy theories. What comes under the guise of the enlightenment, therefore, is in truth a piece of mind do its own thing, the Rezo those manipulative Tricks and gimmicks uses lush, he claims to expose.

an editor for the Frankfurter Allgemeine objection.

up to 10. June, 2.8 million Times retrieved Video does Rezo serious allegations against the media in General, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in Particular. Supposedly, 66.67 per cent of our posts about him are in error; we would be cut off so it is worse than all of the other 36 in this document, or 20 closer to the examined publications. However, a number of other Newspapers before throwing Rezo high "false-assertion-rates" in the reporting about him. For example, in the case of the "world" to a percentage of 54,05 percent, in the case of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" on is 41.67 percent.

the basis of this allegation is an evaluation of in the year 2019 published articles about him, which is in the methodological approach of nonsense, and in the implementation biased. So were collected from the 186 in the period of investigation, the F. A. Z.-products published texts that contain the word "Rezo", only 70 and 15 are investigated. Of the 10 allegedly erroneous texts, we are able to understand this allegation only in 3 cases, wherein it is in all cases to marginal error. This we have corrected in the meantime.

A lesson in Manipulation and expression

for Example, Rezo tears do, in many Places, individual sentences out of context and stamping critical opinions of our authors as the (allegedly false) statements of fact. It is therefore not surprising that, of all things, the Newspapers, the Rezo and his CDU-Video-2019 is probably the most common and most heavily criticized, the highest rate of such alleged "errors" has. A detailed written statement to the methodological weaknesses of the study, as well as to the individual allegations against the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung finds itself at this point.
