The article addresses criticisms about the journalistic standards and independence in Norwegian media, focusing on a recent controversy involving iNyheter, which published serious health claims about Thorbjørn Jagland. It argues that rather than upholding the values of a free press, certain organizations are resorting to disparaging language that undermines the credibility of independent outlets. The accusation that iNyheter is merely a blog is criticized as an inappropriate attack on the legitimacy of media that should be defended by the Press Association.

Specific allegations were made against iNyheter regarding its reporting on Jagland’s health information and supposed undisclosed agreements between his lawyers and certain editorial leaders. The author refutes these claims by highlighting that the assertions were misrepresented and misattributed, insisting that the information was attributed correctly to Jagland's legal representation, refuting the idea of any conspiratorial collusion.

Overall, the piece underscores a broader issue in media discourse where the credibility of independent journalism is undermined by powerful media institutions. This emphasizes the need for a defense of press freedom and the importance of being able to report independently without being relegated to the status of an illegitimate source based on biases or institutional competition.
