      Sorry, but no.

      There is nothing left even remotely resembling journalism and they only focus on Trump so they can ignore the MAGA friends in Germany’s goverment doing variations of the exact same shit.

          Yeah, actually just minutes after this comment I saw the latest joke at Spiegel writing about far-right European parties and the AfD in Germany in particular building up connections with MAGA in the US… while just -and totally concidently of course- forgetting to say a single word about the fact the the governing CDU did exactly the same and there are several loud massive MAGA-fanbois in their leading ranks right now.

          That’s not journalism. That’s a laughable “Look over there! Nothing happening here”-diversion.

            Honestly. Nobody remembering Spahn going to visit with maga and heritage foundation, obviously building networks and learning strategy… Yeah it’s not great that the afd is doing it but the press needs to do a better job showing similarities between these actions

      What do you mean? The German press has always been both Anti-Trump and Anti-Putin. Even way before 2022

        Largely they have been pretending that Trump is in any way sane and not totally unhinged.

        The problem of him very obviously being a Russian Asset has also been downplayed a lot.

          I guess same with Putin – he was painted a pragmatic villain and not a senile man with nukes that he is.

          How could Trump with his known Russian connections get past the American billionaires?
