All the news that's fit to print?
Heiko criticises that in German media "a tornado in Kansas usually gets more coverage than a neighborhood shooting in Berlin". Horst Prillinger reports that when in his library "a total of 293 books from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries were totally soaked, some probably damaged beyond repair [...] the evening news brought a report about the baby elephant at Vienna Zoo taking a bath." And after Papa Scott figured out than when you are abroad, Germany's most visited news website, Boulevard Online is basically useless, he now steps in as a translator at David's Medienkritik. Even if this blog is of questionable political attitude and "even if Germans and Americans tend to disagree, at Medienkritik they're at least talking to one another", so it might be a good thing to support. And hey, "at least the first post was fun. I felt like I was behind enemy lines, writing headlines for the Bild-Zeitung."
