It is coming to light that the German government is directing journalists on what to report, and more so, what not to report, especially in light of the refugee crisis that has brought with it murder and sexual assasult. A former bureau chief of Germany's national public service broadcast said the news is to be reported to Chancellor Angela Merkel's "liking," according to Breitbart. Dr. Wolfgang Herles is the former chief at Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen and recently stated on Berlin radio that the freedom of the press in Germany is at best a "scandal" and described the closeness of the government to the state media as being led by an agenda "laid down by the political class."
"Today, one is not allowed to say anything negative about the refugees," Herles said. "This is government journalism and that leads to a situation in which people no longer trust us. This is a scandal." Herles continued: "There are many topics that would be more important than what the government wants. But they, of course, want to deflect attention away from what doesn't happen. Yet what doesn't happen is often more important than what does happen â more important than gesture politics."
Showing how bad things have gotten in Germany, very little has been reported about Herles' accusations against the government, but what has been said is very critical and "vehemently" denied by media bosses...

Reading the web address of this story from January 12 tells me this is not new information. However, it’s nice to know it’s an ongoing pattern. What this means is that (1) we’re lucky to still have a First Amendment, more or less, and (2) Merkel knows that she is wrong or she would not have to hide the truth.
Yes we do.
Merkel is certifiable
