A German television news reporter was suspended after a video showed the journalist smearing herself with mud in an apparent attempt to look more authentic while reporting on devastating damage caused by flooding.

RTL presenter Susanna Ohlen was in the town of Bad Münstereife to ‘help out’ with flood recovery efforts, but the clip shows the reporter deliberately dirtying herself by running the dirt on her forehead and cheeks.

Another video shows Ohlen reporting live for RTL at the same location.

An RTL report initially claimed, “Numerous prominent helpers also lend a hand and actively support the local people. One of them is Susanna Ohlen.”

However, as soon as the video clip of Ohlen’s behavior emerged, the article was deleted from RTL’s website.

“Our reporter’s approach clearly contradicts journalistic principles and our own standards,” said RTL in response to the incident. “We therefore gave her a leave of absence on Monday after we heard about it.”

Das Vorgehen unserer Reporterin widerspricht eindeutig journalistischen Grundsätzen und unseren eigenen Standards. Wir haben sie daher direkt am Montag, nachdem wir davon erfahren haben, beurlaubt.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan defended the impending placement of a statue of John Chilembwe, an anti-colonial activist who ordered the decapitation of William Livingstone in front of his children and then displayed his head on a pike, saying it served to “reflect London’s achievements and diversity.”

Yes, really.

Chilembwe was a Baptist pastor and educator who became a militant resistance fighter who railed against the treatment of Africans working in agriculture on European-owned plantations in Malawi in the early 1900’s.

Chilembwe led a violent revolt against the Bruce estates, which culminated in William Jervis Livingstone and other European colonizers being decapitated on his orders.

In 1915, Livingstone was beheaded in front of his own children and Chilembwe subsequently displayed his impaled head on a spike during a church service.

In recognition of his struggle, a bronze statue of Chilembwe is being installed in London’s historic Trafalgar Square, which one website describes as “an act of resilience and revival for an aware British society that is experiencing how centuries of slavery perpetuated by Europeans has hindered African society.”

A statue of #Malawi Baptist preacher, freedom fighter and pan-Africanist John Chilembwe by #Malawi artist @kambalu_s will now stand on Trafalgar Square in London. Congratulations Samsonhttps://t.co/Q5sQf68F7w

“The Chilembwe statue will help bystanders and British citizens reflect on some of the historical grievances that took place so that the social betterment of a western country doesn’t harm another community or race of people,” reports Travel Noire.

When challenged on his decision to green light the statue, even as a ‘woke’ statue commission works to remove sculptures of historical European figures, London Mayor Sadiq Kahn said the statue “reflect(s) London’s achievements and diversity.”

Shaun Bailey (who is black) told Khan, “this is a man who sanctioned the murder of people… he did sermons with the head of his opponents on a pike.”

However, Khan answered that unlike in the case of “colonizers” and other statues he is seeking to topple, the Chilembwe statue is “art” therefore it should be erected.

“I think art has an important role in stimulating conversation,” said Khan. “I also think we should challenge different perspectives when it comes to history. History is complicated and it is always worth getting a different perspective.”

Gee, I wonder where all this is heading?

One of the “racist” incidents that prompted a week of media moral panic over the treatment of black England football players has been revealed to have no racial connotation whatsoever.

Whoops.

Following the Euro 2020 final, where England were defeated on penalties by Italy, a wave of supposed racial abuse originating with England fans against their own players ensued.

This was exploited to push for further mass censorship and a call for people to be forced to provide official identity documents before being allowed to open a social media account.

It subsequently emerged that a tiny fraction of the abuse had actually originated in England and that the vast majority of it had come from fake bot accounts or people living in South Asian and Middle Eastern countries.

Another incident that played into the narrative was the apparent “racist” defacing of a mural of striker Marcus Rashford in Manchester.

This prompted a wave of support which turned the mural into a bizarre kind of shrine that looked more like a memorial.

This is the scene at the Marcus Rashford mural in Withington this morning. Messages of love have covered up racist graffiti daubed on the portrait.

Black Lives Matter and ‘Refugees Welcome’ activists then descended on the site to ‘take a knee’ against racism.

“iTs nOt aBoUt mArXiSm oR iMmIgrAtiOn” screeched the woke football fans in my mentions yesterday.

Try investigating the groups behind this, and their overt, far-left political affiliations.

It has now been revealed that the words used to deface the mural, originally blurred out in media reports, had no racial connotations whatsoever.

Sky News Reports: “Graffiti sprayed on to a mural of Marcus Rashford in Manchester is “not believed to be of a racial nature,” police have said.”

The graffiti included “swear words” but did not refer in any way to the ethnicity of the three black players who missed their penalties, Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka.

Greater Manchester Police said they were “keeping an open mind as to the motive” behind the person or persons responsible for defacing the mural and that no arrests had been made.

While the original fury over the “racist” incident in addition to the offensive messages sent on social media received wall to wall press coverage, the fact that the messages originated mainly abroad and that the mural incident wasn’t racial are being quietly reported well below the fold.
