newspapers made no attempt to differentiate between rightwing radicals and ordinary people who were left feeling politically insecure or marginalised by the refugee influx. Instead of critical reporting, journalists had merely ?adopted the viewpoint and also the slogans of the political elite?.

The study, led by Michael Haller, a former senior editor at weekly newspaper Die Zeit, is the most comprehensive analysis of how the German media dealt with the migrant crisis.
Suprise surprise! |
Good report, for everyone with open eyes it didn't come out as a surprise though. This is just a confirmation for us. But what about the left and liberals, how do they react? Nothing....they gonna either reject it as pure lies or gonna start over-analyzing it to death until there is no truth left in the report.

Americans do mucho business in Mexico but don't want to live near Mexicans.
Bigots will bigot and hypocrites will hypocrite.
And fuck you bitchin' about the media -- no one give a fuck. No one with any intelligence accepts all of the viewpoint of any one media -- only stupids -- no shortage of them but then -- who gives a fuck?

I give a fuck, I care...
And regarding political power, middle east and Africa have always been a mess. Just a dumb liberal would state what you just stated. They run their own countries, they have power but most still fail apart from a few cause of corruption, chaos and undemocratic systems. Not that I praise the democracy we have in Europe today in any way. These countries need to develop by themselves, not escape to Europe for a better financial situation. Europe and USA have pumped money into Africa last centuries, for what?
And you want to give more power to those who can't handle power. We all seen what has happened with south Africa since black got power. I always favored aid and relief from our countries but it needs to go to the people in terms of development, jobs. They need to start somewhere, but most of the aid goes to the hands of corrupt politicians.
