"Tendency- and ideology-based reports": Scientists and doctors call on ARD and ZDF to return to facts when it comes to human biology
A group of scientists and physicians has issued an appeal against what it sees as ideology-based reporting on public broadcasters. Especially in youth programs, contributions on sexual identity, for example, would violate journalistic standards.
Transgender ideology in the "Sendung mit der Maus," videos about drug sex and vampire fetishes: a group of scientists and doctors has launched an appeal and demanded a return to fact-based reporting of biological issues in public broadcasting (ÖRR) in an article in the "Welt."
"We call on the ÖRR to present biological facts and scientific findings more truthfully," reads the appeal, which the authors say has already been joined by 120 scientists, physicians, psychologists, educators and representatives of other professions from across Germany. "We as scientists resolutely oppose the idea that women and men are merely social constructs or perceived identities," it continues.
They criticize the fact that, especially when it comes to the trendy topic of "trans," neither biological facts nor scientific findings are presented truthfully. In a 50-page dossier, the initiators list numerous examples of reporting in the ÖRR, which they describe as "tendentious" and "ideology-based". In particular, they criticize the term "multisexuality," which is used numerous times, as it constitutes a false statement.
The dossier lists numerous reports, especially from the youth programs of ARD and ZDF such as "Funk," "Reporter," "Die da oben" and "Y-Kollektiv," which the authors believe are unreflective and also fail to meet journalistic standards. As examples, they cite reports on cannibalism (over 2.5 million views), vampire fetishes (over one million views) and "What's it like to be raped?" (over three million views).
Also freely available, for example, was a contribution by "Y-Kollektiv," a YouTube channel of "Funk," about so-called chemsex. There were well over half a million views for this reportage, in which a teenage reporter films gay men having group sex with other homosexuals and introducing the drug crystal meth anally, as the initiators of the appeal write.
The initiators object to the fact that gender reassignment surgeries are portrayed as a "child's play" in articles for children and young people. The psychological and physically irreversible consequences of using puberty blockers, administering opposite-sex hormones and surgically removing the penis, breast and uterus are mentioned at best in passing, they write.
"We are therefore expressly not concerned with the abolition of the ÖRR, but with its return to its broadcasting mandate. After all, the fee-financed formats are particularly committed not only to the principles of the press code, respect for the truth and careful research," the appeal says.
