“We Failed”: Danish Newspaper Apologizes For Publishing Official COVID Narratives Without Questioning Them
Trade For Profit ^ | 01/12/2022 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 01/12/2022 9:03:50 PM PST by SeekAndFind

In August, Germany's top newspaper, Bild, apologized for the outlet's fear-driven Covid coverage - with special message to children, who were told "that they were going to murder their grandma."

Now, a newspaper in Denmark has publicly apologized for reporting government narratives surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic without questioning them.

"We failed," reads the article's headline from tabloid Ekstra Bladet, which goes on to admit that "For ALMOST two years, we - the press and the population - have been almost hypnotically preoccupied with the authorities' daily coronavirus figures. "(translated).

Whoa https://t.co/QPMsFxnal6 — Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) January 12, 2022

Read the rest below:

WE HAVE STARED at the oscillations of the number pendulum when it came to infected, hospitalized and died with corona. And we have been given the significance of the pendulum's smallest movements laid out by experts, politicians and authorities, who have constantly warned us about the dormant corona monster under our beds. A monster just waiting for us to fall asleep so it can strike in the gloom and darkness of the night.

THE CONSTANT mental alertness has worn out tremendously on all of us. That is why we - the press - must also take stock of our own efforts. And we have failed.

WE HAVE NOT been vigilant enough at the garden gate when the authorities were required to answer what it actually meant that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona. Because it makes a difference. A big difference. Exactly, the official hospitalization numbers have been shown to be 27 percent higher than the actual figure for how many there are in the hospital, simply because they have corona. We only know that now.

OF COURSE, it is first and foremost the authorities who are responsible for informing the population correctly, accurately and honestly. The figures for how many are sick and died of corona should, for obvious reasons, have been published long ago, so we got the clearest picture of the monster under the bed.

IN ALL, the messages of the authorities and politicians to the people in this historic crisis leave much to be desired. And therefore they lie as they have ridden when parts of the population lose confidence in them.

ANOTHER example: The vaccines are consistently referred to as our 'superweapon'. And our hospitals are called 'superhospitals'. Nevertheless, these super-hospitals are apparently maximally pressured, even though almost the entire population is armed with a super-weapon. Even children have been vaccinated on a huge scale, which has not been done in our neighboring countries.

IN OTHER WORDS, there is something here that does not deserve the term 'super'. Whether it's the vaccines, the hospitals, or a mixture of it all, is every man's bid. But at least the authorities' communication to the population in no way deserves the term 'super'. On the contrary.

Will other news outlets have the journalistic integrity to follow suit? Perhaps CNN's ratings wouldn't be down 90% from last year in the key 25-to-54 demographic if they simply owned up to their complicity in breathlessly spewing government propaganda.

We have to get rid of most government. Big Government demands fealty and not questioning it. Reduce govt drastically, in fact.

I was standing in the middle of a graveyard and heard a voice say apology not accepted.

Keep in mind that Positivity Rate is not a medical term.

It was coined by CNN about March of 2020.

Expect a similar apology out of the NYT shortly after they apologize for Walter Duranty. In other words, never.

The apology is too little, too late.

Had you not jumped on the leftist political bandwagon, many might have been treated by Ivermectin and similar already-available drugs. Those who instead had to wait for and be given one, two, three, four jabs and DIED or have serious complications, that too is on YOU.

A simple apology falls far short when compared to the damage you leftist sycophants have done.

You should be held criminally liable for disseminating lies and misinformation.

Do not be fooled by their apologies. They are not admitting an error. They are spinning reality. They are say, in effect, “now that it’s clear that vaccines and shutdowns do not work, it doesn’t matter, because Covid is no big deal anyway.”

Another example...CDC is now talking big time about co-morbidities inflating death counts, only because deaths are greater under Biden than Trump. I guarantee CDC will eventually adjust the death count downward, but ONLY for 2021.

For me it was a common sense drill.

If we pull back and take a look at what is/was going on at 50k feet, that was enough.

Forget quibbling down in the details.

Gov, you have not sufficiently explained why we are all wearing paper masks against a deadly virus. Absolutely STFU right now, until you sufficiently explain this.

I saw photos from the Wuhan lab. They were wearing pressurized suits. And it escaped.

You’re lying Gov. FU.

And then I tuned them out entirely.

As I recall, Bild in the past used to publish anti-American Soviet/KGB disinformation about AIDS being created and released by the US.

That some European media is beginning to buck the “official” narrative is a very good thing. The dam is breaking. When in Berlin, many of our German friends were learning to distrust the state-manipulated media.

Even to believe the “official” data, Germany has not had a “pandemic” to justify lockdowns and “official” hysteria. Consider how small an event this has been, even with the :official” stats:

31 December 2021
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/germany

( 111,929 “official” German dead from Covid / 83,783,942 Germans ) x 100 = 0.134 %

The anomalies in the worldwide “official” numbers are so numerous and glaring now that the pandemic edifice must topple. The European press is breaking ranks with the Covid politicians. This is a very good thing.
