Pressure on Orban grows amid child sex abuse scandal

Hungarian opposition leaders gathered in front of the prime minister's office on Feb. 15, denouncing Orban's silence on the issue and saying it indicated deeper structural problems within Fidesz.

"Orban's regime has fallen into a moral and political crisis," said Andras Fekete-Gyor of the opposition Momentum party.

As the backlash has grown, the scandal has expanded beyond the controversial pardon into direct criticism of Orban's government and associated #cronyism and corruption.

Former Orban ally and Varga's ex-husband, Peter Magyar, released a widely viewed video on Facebook on Feb. 11 denouncing corruption in #Fidesz and across Hungary.

"It must be said now that this cannot go on," Magyar said, rhetorically questioning whether Hungarians think it is "normal" that "a few families own half the country."

When the #NewYorkTimes lost its way

America’s media should do more to equip readers to #think for themselves

Whether or not American democracy endures, a central question historians are sure to ask about this era is why America came to elect Donald Trump, promoting him from a symptom of the country’s institutional, political and social degradation to its agent-in-chief

...

It is hard to imagine a path back to saner American politics that does not traverse a common ground of shared fact

...

A #journalism that starts out assuming it knows the answers can be far less valuable to the reader than a journalism that starts out with a humbling #awareness that it knows nothing

...

Even columnists with impeccable leftist bona fides recoiled from tackling subjects when their point of view might depart from progressive orthodoxy

...

Illiberal journalists are not out to achieve social justice as the knock-on effect of pursuing truth; they want to pursue it head-on. The term “objectivity” to them is code for ignoring the poor and weak and cosying up to power

The United States before the 2024 #election

Many are asking me before the US elections in 2024 why Donald #Trump might win the presidency again - despite numerous scandals, his announcement to use the presidency for political retaliation and shocking eye witness accounts from this #administration.

But what is the answer and would Trump's re-election as #president be the end of #democracy?

#Glyphosate, a herbicide extensively employed in modern agriculture, has become the focal point of a growing controversy due to its potential hazards to the human body. While its usage is widespread across the globe to combat weeds, mounting scientific evidence suggests that glyphosate may have adverse effects on human health. #scandal #health https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/18741/the-dangers-of-glyphosate-for-the-human-body

Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?

In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (💩) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.

That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.

I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

The #Kissing #Scandal After #Spain’s #Women’s World Cup Win

Attitudes are changing. You could see it in the course of the week—how standing ovations turned into critical statements, how #Hermoso herself at first uncomfortably laughed the #kiss off, before acknowledging that it was demeaning and disrespectful, at the very moment the women should have been celebrated for their #triumph.

The support for a player who endured an unwanted kiss during the trophy presentation shows how attitudes toward women’s soccer are changing, but not fast enough.

#SelenaGomez and #HaileyBieber: A Complete Timeline of Their #TikTok #Drama

Source: https://www.glamour.com/story/selena-gomez-and-hailey-bieber-a-complete-timeline-of-their-tiktok-drama

However, the drama between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez reached a boiling point in February 2023 when #KylieJenner seemingly joined the fray. Here’s a complete timeline of what went down on TikTok—and everything that came next.

...

According to BuzzFeed, Hailey Beiber has lost around 1 million followers since the TikTok drama began. Meanwhile, Elle.com reports that Gomez gained 10.5 million followers on #Instagram and Jenner has lost around 500,000 #followers.

First of all congratulations if you have no TikTok & #Instagram and never heard about the drama.

The rest urgently need lessons in more #media #literacy. On the one hand, you make yourself a #bully if you bully supposedly other bullies, and on the other hand, it's not healthy if you devote yourself to every nuance of your stars as a hobby psychologist and interpret them.

A huge scandal shaking Iranian football.

Stories of a long and horrifying sexual abuse of young children at a football school in city of Mashhad, east of Tehran has shkabe the country and the government authorities who did nothing to stop the abuse even after many people tried to alarm the authorities.

The details of the case is not clear and judging by the reaction of the regime, it seems like some government connected people were also involved in it.

This is a blow to the Islamic Republic's image that has been working hard to portray itself as a government with highemoral values unlike those "corrupt" western societies.

The report mentions that the abuse were on going for decades and were well known among the locals who tried hard to stop this.

It is an unbelievably tragic revelation on top of the horror of IRI treatment of protesters and political prisoners.

One of the more #comprehensive #reports from #UN #Special-Rapporteur-on-Torture #NilsMelzer (aside from his book) into the case of #Assange with details of the #false #Swedish #allegations that fueled his #public #mobbing and #persecution. The #case is a huge #scandal and represents the failure of #Western #rule-of-law. If #JulianAssange is #convicted, it will be a #death-sentence for #freedom-of-the-press.
