class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview is entitled: \u201cEnlightenment instead of apocalypse \u2013 Too many opinion journalists are taking sides in favor of climate protection\u201d [00:23].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What follows are the key statements by Stefan Russ-Mohl: Journalists tend to dramatize issues in order to attract the audience\u2019s attention [00:46]. Russ-Mohl confirms that surveys show a \u201ccultural hegemony in the left-wing green camp\u201d among established media [01:46].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Patronizing, biased media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, he criticizes journalists for patronizing or proselytizing to the audience instead of presenting the different sides of an issue honestly and fairly [02:12], which leads to the phenomenon of \u201cattitude journalism\u201d [02:22].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitude journalism is described as a form of journalism in which personal political or ideological attitudes influence the selection and presentation of topics more than the neutral presentation of facts [02:31]. This is particularly evident in climate reporting, where dramatic scenarios and experts who present maximum risk are often emphasized [02:49].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics accuse this practice of creating a distorted picture of the scientific debate and undermining trust in the media [03:18].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lost trust<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program concludes by stating that public trust in the media can only be restored through a clearer separation between reporting and
