Elmo just started #Grokipedia. I took a quick look at the "racism" entry since I was wondering if it might be slightly(!!) biased. I asked #Grok, who would be a fairer judge, to compare the entry with #Wikipedia. The results speak for themselves...

Wie kommt man auf die Idee, die trump'schen Entgleistungen im Wortlaut wiederzugeben? Welches Verständnis von Journalismus soll das sein? Nach dem zweiten Absatz hätte ein "dabei wiederholte er pauschale und teils falscher Aussagen, die in der Vergangenheit widerlegt wurden" ausgereicht.

AfD & BSW communicated almost exclusively in attack mode and heavily relied on migration issues. FDP & CDU joined that trend but were more positive across other issues. When focusing on “owned” topics (e.g. climate for Greens, social justice for SPD/Left), tone was mostly positive.

More than half of the videos addressed young people or future generations directly.
Most active: Greens & Left Party.
Most restrained: AfD & CDU/CSU.

Affordances like selfie mode, infographics, or interaction formats were used – but not consistently.
The Left Party stood out: most dancing, highest infographic use, creative remixing.

How did parties and politicians communicate during the 🇩🇪 federal election 25? Together with @dpzberlin.bsky.social & @bertelsmannst.bsky.social we analyzed 18,000+ videos on #Instagram & #TikTok focusing on how they addressed younger voters. spoiler: there is room for improvement 🧵👇

Together with the @machine-vs-rage.net team, I examined how group-focused enmity finds its way into memes and how that shapes their outreach on Telegram. Our chapter is part of a rich vol on visual communication with a stunning cover. And it’s #openaccess 👉 www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

Specifically, we found that more frequent media contact with refugees leads to more negative attitudes toward refugees from the Middle East among right-leaning respondents and to more positive views on refugees from Africa among left-leaning respondents.

Our results show no significant main effects of media contact with refugee persons on attitudes nor do we find significant differences in the effects of media depending refugees' gender. Rather, our models suggest that respondents’ political orientation and refugees’ origin play a crucial role.

How do media portrayals of refugees affect attitudes toward immigration? Linking content analysis data with a panel survey we find that respondents’ political orientation and refugees’ origin play a crucial role indicating motivated reasoning. #openaccess 👉 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 🧵👇

Wir haben die Akzeptanz, Erkennung und Wirkung von KI-generierten Kampagneninhalten untersucht. In 🇩🇪Bevölkerung herrscht Skepsis und der Wunsch nach Regulierung. KI-Bilder werden kaum erkannt. Wir brauchen verpflichtende & prominente Kennzeichnung sowie wirkungsvolle #Regulierung von #KI! 🧵

Fehler entdeckt? Beim Organ der Niedertracht kupfert man jetzt ganz unverhohlen bei rechten Alternativmedien, um die bürgerlichen Proteste der vergangenen Tage zu diskreditieren. Demokrat*innen sollten sich gut überlegen, ob sie diesem Medium zukünftig noch Interviews geben wollen.

Wir leben in einer Realität, in der es normal zu sein scheint, dass der Finanzminister a.D. einem rechtsextremen Medium, das verschwörungstheoretische, geschichtsrevisionistische und antisemitische Inhalte verbreitet, schamlos ein interview gibt. Aus Sicht CLs nur konsequent - mich widert es an.

Hej journalists, Elmo, Alice, and Hitler hit news values, but amplifying far-right provocations plays right into their hands. It might bring short-term clicks, but the long-term boomerang will hit—not only grabbing attention, fueling their agenda, but also undermining trust in the media.
