Did the BBC publish anything like that?
Do the German police raid you if you write “[Politician X] is corrupt”?
Don’t get me wrong I prefer to live in a world where anyone can debase themselves by throwing insults at anyone, but I don’t see the paralels with the BBC raid.

- krisoft 4y ago> or do you think that stating them without answers will make readers assume the answers are both obvious and supportive of the case you're making? Yes? There is no allegation that the BBC called anyone a penis. I don’t have proof that i can cite because how do you proove a negative? I can prove that there are media who called a German politican corrupt.[1] I cannot prove that they haven’t raided them, all I can say is that if they did we haven’t heard about it. > You haven't said anything to be wrong about. And yet you understood me, didn’t you? 1: totally random article calling one german politican corrupt https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-conservative-politician-alfred-sauter-bribery-accusations/amp/ https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-conservative-politic...
