When the pack hunts, many become foolish

Columnist Hanne Kjöller has criticized journalists who readily adopt the same narratives, arguing it reveals more about professional positioning than genuine argumentation. She specifically points to the treatment of Agnes Wold, suggesting Wold is deliberately misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Kjöller expresses a strong dislike for these "drives," not primarily for the impact on the targeted individual, but for the way they make her profession appear lazy and unintelligent. She contends that during such campaigns, it becomes acceptable to misinterpret and exaggerate information, ignoring context and failing to conduct basic fact-checking.

The columnist further laments that journalists feel free to offer opinions on interviews they haven't seen and comment on matters they do not understand, without making any effort to inform themselves. This behavior, she argues, undermines the credibility and independence that journalists often claim to uphold.
