Complaint to the German Press against THE WORLD succeed!

Saturday, June 26, 2010

logo On 3.2.2010 appeared on WORLD-Online, the infamous call to WORLD-author Daniel Pipes "Obama should bomb Iran". A particularly striking and repulsive case of warmongering in a German medium. WORLD-author Pipes recommended the bombing specifically target poor poll ratings of the American president.

At this point I had in the WORLD items and then also my complaint letter to the German Press Council from 4.2.2010.

In this I pointed out that the WORLD call was still covered in a war of aggression, neither by the Basic Law of the Press Code in force.

And:
"As a German, it fills me with great shame that 65 years after the end of World War 2 from German soil, ie from a German newspaper [THE WORLD-line], can be called back to a war of aggression. Resist the beginnings! "

Today I received a letter from the German Press Council now, the complaint of 4.2.2010 was finally answered on 24.6.2010. Here is the text of the letter: (more ...)

Sunday, April 18, 2010

A little over two months I had at this point in relation to a particularly blatant example of warmongering position, which is becoming socially acceptable in parts of the German media landscape.

These were a world-online article the most experienced in this sector Daniel Pipes, "Obama should bomb Iran" , in which he quite openly and advice given for the attack on the Middle Eastern country the US president and thereby to hurry drives.

I had allowed myself to make the German Press this derailment attention - the Council will meet.

At the same time I had at the earliest prosecutor (for online publications of the "Flying jurisdiction" applies) filed a complaint for incitement to a war of aggression against the WORLD and its author. Similar as criminal charges was also independently collected by different readers.

My ad has been forwarded to the prosecutor Berlin, and from there I received on 30.3.2010 post of Attorney Kamuf. (more ...)

THE WORLD of criticism - massive complaints against bomb on Iran call

Tuesday, 09 February, 2010.

Daniel Pipes, "studies" -Director of the Middle-East Forum and self-proclaimed expert on Iran seems a certain Gegenwindchen to blow in the face: On its home page, he writes under the title:

"Support Sarah Palin, Bombed Iran '":
My National Review Online column last week carried the provocative headline: How to Save the Obama Presidency: Bombed Iran ', and that was provocative indeed.

Leftist from websites such as Think Progress and DailyKos responded irascible and slightly crazy way by presenting my argument wrong, even while they betitulierten me unrepeatable names. The German paper Die Welt published the article in translation, but got so vehemently that the editors of my analysis retreated under fire. "

Then he describes that he had learned from the US rights which consent and encouragement (eg by Palin, Buchanan)

Following are excerpts from an interview with the TV channel Fox last Sunday with his declared favorite politician - the former vice presidential candidate US Republican Reminder: Sarah Palin fundamentalist Christian is (Pentacostal movement). (more ...)

Re .: WORLD-Online v. 3.2.2010
Daniel Pipes: "Barack Obama should bomb Iran"

Dear Sirs,

The Press Code applies since 1.1.2009 for online media.
Therefore, I would like to bring to you the aforementioned WORLD online articles on knowledge that is compatible in my view in any way with the ethical principles of the Press Code.
Neither is it compatible with those of the German Basic Law. The Press Code refers in its preamble expressly to the same thing and explained this preamble while his part.

Justification:
The cited article calls for a war of aggression:
"Barack Obama should bomb Iran"
And: "He must be, to destroy Iran's nuclear command."
World-Online thus incites an illegal war of aggression on. (more ...)

After concrete offer Iran: WELT newspaper calls for bombing

Thursday, 04 February, 2010.

Against the Springer Journal THE WORLD must be reimbursed to a war of aggression and criminal charges of sedition journalistic aid for incitement. It is also understood that the sheet a complaint by the Bundespresserat must be granted because it violated the most important principle of the Press Code, which reads: respect for the truth and respect for human dignity. This Code of Ethics applies since 1.1.2009 for online media.

Background:
On 3.2.2010 is widely by the media that Iran wants to enter into concrete negotiations with foreign countries, so that uranium could be enriched there. "Ahmadinejad said Iran was ready to sign a contract for uranium exchange with the nuclear powers. Low-enriched uranium can be sure also brought from Iran abroad, he says. "(GA Bonn, 3.2.2010, p 2). Low-enriched uranium (3.5%) abroad concrete terms, then (France, Russia) are brought to 20% and then sent back as fuel for a research reactor in Iran. This solution to the nuclear dispute became apparent for weeks, if you followed the media reports carefully.

The Iranian president continued:
"We are not opposed to broadcast our low-enriched uranium abroad because we want a constructive cooperation and because we can always produce low-enriched uranium in Iran again," Ahmadinejad said. For his departure from the current position he called "technical reasons."

Instead of this offer to respond constructively-specifically, the United States, however, go further obviously a delaying tactic - to keep other options open?

Even worse: US hawks who win in the US after Obama's election defeats momentum again, now calling for even more so the bombing of Iran:
World online from 3.2.2010: Iran has to be bombed, which would at the same time the advantage of carrying Obama's poll numbers that are in the basement, upwards.
Quote:
"Barack Obama should bomb Iran,
By Daniel Pipes, February 3, 2010, 12:18 pm clock, Barack Obama's poll numbers fall into the basement. On the issues of unemployment and health system he has failed, he has also lost three elections. A dramatic gesture is needed to change the public perception. He must be, to destroy Iran's nuclear command. " (more ...)
