You are correct.
I had a wonderful dinner in the Nuremburg home of two German friends last Feb.
We discussed many topics and what it clearly evident is the squeaky wheels make all the noise.
They had worried concerns about what is going on in Germany with immigration, jobs, and social lunacy.
A lot, a lot of decent Germans in that country but the media seems to only give play to the lunatics.
you mean just like here in the USA
... as it is in every modern country. Bad News sell. If you can't set-up an enemy you don't get the masses around you - not only true for Schröder but for the papers either. Fear is a feeling easy exploited and all that...
Imigration by the way is a solution - not a problem. We should have controlled immigration in germany to compensate against our societies aging problem.
