Keep in mind that Germany is not sovereign at least since 1945 and that we are brainwashed ever since by our occupation powers i.e. the USA.

Trump demonized, Harris glorified: How German media paint a wishful reality in the US election campaign

In the German media landscape, Trump is being vilified, while Kamala Harris is being exalted as a shining light. The obsession is obvious, but not to the journalists who confuse their opinion with reality. Soon they will be surrounded by reality again - and again fail to learn from it. On November 5, Americans will elect their president for the 60th time. A good 233 million people are eligible to vote, excluding the six million or so who have been convicted of a serious crime. Germans are not eligible to vote either, yet the local media believe they must constantly intervene in the US election campaign. The roles have been clearly distributed for at least four and a half decades. The Democratic candidate, who is always a beacon of hope, even a shining light, is always favored, even if he can afford scandals like Bill Clinton. Obama was a “superstar” and messiah anyway, and Joe Biden's rapid decline was studiously ignored; after all, his rival was Donald Trump, the goddess of our time. Because the respective Republican competitor is always put down. It started with Ronald Reagan, who was ridiculed as an “actor” and who was thought capable of starting World War III because of a harmless joke at a microphone rehearsal (“Russia declared outlawed, the bombing starts in five minutes”). Later, it was Bush Senior and especially his son George W. who were portrayed as stupid and dangerous. With Trump, however, the hysteria reached a climax. The Republican candidate is always the bogeyman Let's talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome, a phenomenon first described by columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer in connection with George W. Bush as “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. It simply didn't matter what Bush did or didn't do, it was always wrong. The Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is even more pronounced. As soon as Donald Trump appears, his opponents go berserk. Not even the finest good hair is left on him. In 2017, a study by Harvard University analyzed the reporting of leading American and European media during President Trump's first 100 days in office, including ARD as the only German medium. Unsurprisingly, it turned out that nowhere was Trump reported on more negatively than there. According to the study, a whopping 98% of the evaluative reports in the main news program on ARD were negative. Not that Erste or other public broadcasters handled it any differently than Der Spiegel or Süddeutsche Zeitung, for example. On its covers, the Hamburg news magazine sometimes depicted Trump as a roaring King Kong, sometimes as a comet hurtling towards the earth, as a firebug, a Ku Klux Klan racist or as an executioner beheading the Statue of Liberty. Was there something with Joe Biden? Hatred of Trump oozes from every pore of the German press, he can never please them, he is even described as a warmonger, although the USA did not start a war during his term of office (2016-2020); on the contrary, Trump acted as a peacemaker between Israel and Arab countries in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords. Every word he says is twisted in his mouth. When Trump spoke of a “bloodbath” (in the sense of economic drying up) in March, this was construed as a threat of political violence: “If he is not elected, there will be a bloodbath.” The clarification came later in a very small font size. Even an assassination attempt on him was played down: “Trump brought to safety after blast” read the headline on ZDF. The transparent political nature of various accusations against Trump was overlooked, preferring to make him look like a criminal. He stirs up fears, it is said again and again, he has a “radical agenda”, “rages” and lies. No other politician is usually called a liar, especially not German ones. Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) even called on a psychiatrist and anxiety researcher to explain “why so many people believe Trump's lies”. The word “lies” appeared a whopping 25 times in the text. When Joe Biden made a disastrous appearance in the TV duel with Trump at the end of June, which not only horrified the US Democrats, the German media initially acted as if nothing had happened. According to Tagesschau, Biden and Trump had a “sharp exchange of words” and the president's lapses were not even mentioned. Only when it could no longer be avoided, the US media took up the issue and the videos circulated on social media, did they suddenly see a problem. "Competent. Quick-witted. Not white" No sooner had Joe Biden been dumped than Kamala Harris, who had remained in the background until then, became a shining light overnight. While Der Spiegel had written on March 28 about a “burden named Kamala Harris” who is unprecedentedly unpopular, the Vice President mutated into a “promise” on July 23. “Competent. Quick-witted. Not white.” ZDF today listed the Democrat's supposed strengths. The second channel also called her “a woman who makes history”, a “beacon of hope”, “strong in debating” and a “great role model for women”. When the Democrats officially nominated her as their presidential candidate, German fanboys indulged in “thunderous cheers”. The magazine stern put her on the cover and ran the headline: “The Savior?”, with the question mark only to feign at least a modicum of journalistic distance. Nothing was too stupid for the German media to glorify an unpopular politician who was clearly overstretched in her office as a pillar saint. At some point, the common attitude journalist begins to consider his own opinion to be the measure of all things - and of reality. If Trump is such a bloody idiot, then it can't be that Americans are voting for him, can it? So in the editorial offices, the wish becomes the father of the thought. And if you tell readers, viewers and listeners often enough how bad Trump is and how decent his opponent is, the audience will believe it too. It's hard to forget how Jörg Schönenborn presented an infratest dimap survey on DeutschlandTREND Extra in 2016, according to which, when asked who would win the presidential election in the USA, 82% believed that Hillary would win, with only 9% backing Trump. The result is well known. When desire and reality merge However, as true attitude journalists are completely resistant to learning, they repeat their mistakes over and over again. Recently, the ZDF political barometer showed that despite the extremely close race in the USA at the moment, 72% of people surveyed in Germany believe that Kamala Harris will win, while only 23% believe that Trump will. The gap between wishful thinking and reality is so wide that it gives the impression that the public media in particular have softened their audience to such an extent that they are no longer able to take a sober view of the situation. Accordingly, Elon Musk commented on his platform X: “This is what it looks like when people are fed state propaganda.” Another survey showed that four out of five Germans would vote for Harris if they were allowed to vote in America, with 79% of respondents stating this in the representative Forsa survey commissioned by stern and RTL. The approval rating for Harris is particularly high among supporters of the Green Party: a whopping 99 percent, something not even Erich Honecker could boast. Elmar Theveßen, who has been passed around as an expert and is notorious for his regularly inaccurate assessments, embarrassed himself on Markus Lanz in July with his claim that “Joe Biden - you get the feeling - is sitting a bit more firmly in the saddle” (Biden declared his decision not to run again just a few days later). Nevertheless, he is still consulted whenever the required expertise is needed. Kamala Harris recently revealed her incompetence on Fox News, but Theveßen had a completely different perception of her performance. Only Trump has a “home channel” Asked about Harris' interview on ZDF, Theveßen rambled on about “new ideas, a breath of fresh air”, saying Harris had “scored some points”. Thank you, that's what we wanted to hear. Have a good evening! In this context, the reference to Fox News as Donald Trump's “home channel” should not be omitted, although we have never heard of CNN as Kamala Harris' home channel. Woe betide anyone who came up with the idea of referring to ARD as the Green Party's home broadcaster, there would be talk of hate and agitation very quickly. The possibility that Donald Trump could speak from the soul of a majority of Americans when he invokes American values and mocks the elites on the East and West Coasts doesn't even seem to exist for German attitude journalists. Nor does the idea that the woke posturing of the establishment is not as noble, helpful and good as is suggested everywhere. On November 5, we could be in for another rude awakening. Because the Americans themselves will decide who moves into the White House - and not German editors and their compliant experts.
