@stratosnyc @MBrgger @frihedsbrevet @informeren @nikolaithyssen @radio4dk I’m talking about the Danish media’s coverage. That sort of planet, which you clearly have no idea about.

Qatar’s former World Cup media manager just exposed their entire propaganda machine.

Qatar secretly profiled journalists worldwide—labeling them “friendly” or “problematic” to control coverage.

They spent $300B in an image-laundering campaign.

Abdullah Ibhais, former media manager of #Qatar2022, says authorities confiscated his passport. The move prevents him from attending @OsloFF and from participating in a witness deposition linked to allegations of forced labour and human trafficking.

🧵The sponsors of Manchester City

Okay, so I tried to look into some of the sponsors of #ManCity – the state-run project from #AbuDhabi.

It’s long but I hope it is worth it. https://t.co/ujulvADzT8

Interessant og relevant indlæg 👇fra @StanisElsborg om (fraværet af) den kritiske dækning af VM.
Mit korte svar er nedslående: Medier kæmper i forvejen for at tjene penge, og forbrugerne vil ikke betale for bl.a. sport.
Skyd på forbrugerne. Journalisterne vil gerne lave dem.

[Stanis Elsborg @StanisElsborg]

@MartinFlink Ja. Vi har dog to store public-service stationer også.

Journalistik om sport behøver i øvrigt ikke kun finde sted på sportsredaktionerne eller sportssiderne.

Legal authorities from the U.S. and Argentina cooperate in tracing money that apparently was spent on luxury goods rather than returned to the Argentine football federation 💵🔍

Suspicious betting activity on youth competitions has risen sharply in recent years!

@CSegalen and Samuel Wahlberg argue that betting on under-18 sport must be banned worldwide, and that operators, data providers, and regulators must be held accountable.
