I disagree with this. What spooks me out about headlines in Germany is how relatively silent they are about this. I'd say there is WAY more money in oligarchy than there is in all the media in the world selling every single paper and ad, every day. Because in the end, it will include that profit, too.
But I still agree that it's never over, but not because there is a hope that some other group might do something, but because tens and hundreds of millions of people can actually do a lot, if they do something.
- Propelloni 2y agoGermany, besides domestic topics like an upcoming election, is more concerned about the havoc Trump is heaving on the international stage and how it impacts Germany and the EU (see Tagesschau, SpOn, FAZ, TAZ, etc. the whole spectrum). I can't blame them. The USA has itself basically downgraded from "friend and ally" to "necessary partner", still better than Russia or China, but we are not done yet ;)
- computerthings 2y agoTrump firing FBI and DOJ staff for doing their job, deleting archives, all that stuff? If you just translated English reports on that, just translated some choice quotes and put it on page #1 Germans would probably be more shocked than Americans. And it's directly connected with upcoming elections, and the meddling with them. Media that don't find a coup in the US terribly noteworthy would probably enable the same here.
