>Major German print publications have played to the tune of the German government in presenting the migrant crisis to the public, ignoring critical issues in their coverage of the biggest refugee flow into Europe since WWII, a new German study revealed.
>Despite massive rallies against Berlin’s policies, the newspapers have overwhelmingly supported “the political elite” by spreading the concept of a ‘welcome culture’ (Willkommenskultur) in Germany, the research states.
>“Large parts of journalists have misunderstood their professional role and neglected the enlightenment function of the media,” the head of the study, Professor Michael Haller, is quoted as saying by Die Zeit.
>Haller said that a lot of the reports have ignored German popular opinion, and have failed to take into account the views of the expert community or the asylum-seekers themselves. The articles were often infused with the opinions of the journalist.
>Overall, the study found the articles to be too sentimental and with very “few critical inquiries to the authorities.”
>The paper noted that some media outlets had treated those opposed to the government’s ‘open door policy’ as racist.
>Furthermore, the authors of the study believe that some of the reporting had “massively contributed” to the division within German public opinion and the loss of confidence in the quality of journalism.

We knew this but it's nice to have it backed up.
>>134541608
and here the links and official reports confirming you claims?
All I see is a desperate attempt to pull idiots to you propaganda sites to weaken Germany in general.

Fuck off Verhofstadt and stop destroying Europe

Are they talking about it on German talk shows?
>>134542919
i rarely watch TV but afaik not yet. Maybe it will once this story gains traction.
Funny thing is that the extreme bias of our media was obvious for every critical thinking person even back then in 2015. It's always nice to have your subjective impressions backed up by actual studies though.

My arabic isn't good enough yet. So I wouldn't know if they do.
>>134541608
Why do they keep saying;
>biggest refugee flow INTO Europe since WW2
What migrants were flowing INTO Europe during World War 2?
>>134541608
How did this study not end up in the memory hole? Are Germans starting to uncuck?
>>134544246
>Why do they keep saying;
The same reason they depict Nogs in supposedly historical movies/series: Normalisation therapy.
"See goy, there have always been multicultural societies in Europe and migration to this place is nothing out of the ordinary."

No, this will change nothing.
