Extinction Rebellion (XR) plans a protest at the NOS Media Park, aiming to address concerns about the accuracy of News reporting in the Netherlands.
- The protest targets "the heart of the media."
- The location is chosen for NOS's central role.
- Martijn Dekker is the spokesperson for XR.
- Research shows NOS news leans to the right.
- NOS does not provide an honest picture.
XR states that the location was intentionally chosen due to the central role of the NOS in Dutch news provision. The group asserts that the NOS fails to inform citizens accurately about significant national and international events.
Martijn Dekker, spokesperson for XR, claims that misleading frames and false balance in NOS news reporting create an inaccurate perception of reality. He emphasizes the need for accurate knowledge to address issues like the climate crisis and migration.
“De NOS stelt zich tot doel ‘de Nederlandse burger zo goed mogelijk te informeren over nieuws, sport en gebeurtenissen van nationaal en internationaal belang’. Helaas is dat niet wat de NOS doet.”
— Martijn Dekker, spokesperson for XR
