You obviously can read and write English well. Germany doesn't, as far as I know, have some kind of national firewall blocking Germans from visiting foreign sites.
You should then be able to read American, Canadian, Australian, and UK media easily. There are also a large number of Arab newspapers in English [1]. And similar in many other countries.
I'd expect channels like those to be more useful than Twitter when it comes to becoming and staying well informed on any major issue.

- submeta 3y agoWell, I was complaining about German media, not CNN, Haaretz, Guardian. But to give you two examples: the whole discussion about why Candice Breitz was cancelled or why the city of Munich tried to cancel a talk of israeli historian Ilan Pappe happened on Twitter, by German intellectuals. German newspapers rather demonized them as antisemites.
