Everybody must be peeking!!
No one listens to a word I say :>{
"Bild" is a daily paper that people will pick up on their way to work and read when they have breaks or pauses.
They have a good soccer / sport's section, a lot of humorous news articles, usually a novel that runs as a serial, and , of course, the 'Girl on page 1'.
"Bild" takes a slant on major news stories that will usually express what joe six-pack out on the street is thinking. "Bild" doesn't try to be something they're not.
I actually learned German by reading the sport's section and the novels in "BIld". It's written at about a fourth grade level. I don't mean that in a condescending way, either. It's a paper that you take with you to work and read parts of during the day, opposed to your main paper that you would read at home when you have an hour or so to read the news.
The German's say that if you roll the "Bild" up, blood drips out, referring to the scandals it likes to cover.
It's probably like the 'National Enquirer" and "USA Today" combined in one paper.
It has an impact, though, because readers know "Bild" doesn't pull punches on major news stories. They get to the middle of the action and call the shots as they see fit. They're Schroeder's worst nightmare. He sued them at least once, I think.

Well explained...
" The German's say that if you roll the "Bild" up, blood drips out, referring to the scandals it likes to cover.
Another common joke is this one:
MAN (36) FELL INTO A MEAT GRINDER!
BILD WAS THE FIRST TO INTERVIEW THE BURGER!
"It's probably like the 'National Enquirer" and "USA Today" combined in one paper."
Exactly... Springer tried to copy the British "SUN",
after he got the allied license to publish a paper.
