Spiegel Online: Evil Americans, Poor Mullahs
Here's an article from Spiegel Online (the English translation) that is an absolute must-read if you are at all concerned about the rash of anti-Americanism in Europe, specifically in Germany. Don't think it exists? With today's technology allowing us to hear and read news from all over the world, if you don't know about it, you must be too busy watching Dancing With the Stars. Teaser:
[German] Anti-Americanism is hypocrisy at its finest. You can spend your evening catching the latest episode of "24" and then complain about Guantanamo the next morning. You can claim that the Americans have themselves to blame for terrorism, while at the same time calling for tougher restrictions on Muslim immigration to Germany. You can call the American president a mass murderer and book a flight to New York the next day. You can lament the average American's supposed lack of culture and savvy and meanwhile send off for the documents for the Green Card lottery.
Not a day passes in Germany when someone isn't making the wildest claims, hurling the vilest insults or spreading the most outlandish conspiracy theories about the United States. But there's no risk involved and it all serves mainly to boost the German feeling of self-righteousness.
It goes on to discuss how America is the guy in the black hat, while Iran and other Muslim countries wear the white one. Read the rest here.
David's Medienkritik, the German blog devoted to exposing the never-ending anti-American sentitment in German media, has an important point to make:
MAJOR PROBLEM: Neither Malzahn nor Gloger address the key role German media, particularly SPIEGEL and Stern, have played in drastically raising the level of anti-Americanism in Germany over the past several years. In that sense they and their colleagues remain - (Thomas Kleine Brockhoff comes to mind) - in a deep "state of denial." Introspection and self-criticism are painful - but to ignore the horrific malpractice and anti-Americanism in German media over the past several years is, in a sense, to play the audience for fools.
Emphasis mine.
This reminds me of the problems in our own media, where the major outlets are in a state of denial regarding their liberal slant when covering the news. Journalists, constantly looking for ways to expose shoddy practices in business and government, shy away from going so far as to expose their own shoddy practices.
It's a token article, surely. But one that is welcome nonetheless.

Posted by: Monte at March 29, 2007 06:37 PMDer Spiegel and Stern are Germany's Time and Newsweek: glossy moonbat publications that regard the public as idiots. In Germany, they pander to the cheap resentment some Germans feel over having been totally eclipsed by America.
