All too typical for the establishment media in the West.
“ZDF Makes the Offender the Victim,” translated from “ZDF macht Täter zum Opfer,” by Georg Altrogge, Bild, November 22, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
Terror attack in the old city of Jerusalem.
The assassin, a suspected Hamas terrorist, opened fire on passersby with a machine gun on Sunday, killing an Israeli and injuring three other people before police could stop him. He died on the spot.
And what did the ZDF do? Turn the news into the opposite.
“Israel: a Palestinian shot dead,” was the headline of the “Today” news. In their report on current events, the public broadcaster did not focus on the victims, but on the assassin, who was killed by security forces. It does not appear from this that his death was preceded by an attack that he himself committed.
Why the ZDF first reported in the news about the murdered assassin and only then addressed the victims is unclear. After all, the editors later corrected the description, which distorted the actual events, in which the assassin was declared a victim.

Another reason not to trust the legacy media: ”
The Washington Post disingenuously and risibly recorded: ““Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48.” … as if he had not been an horrific terrorist who was killed by his own hand,.

..austere religious scholar…what could be more honorable?

Presenters read what the script/teleprompter says.

Heavens, ZDF would cringe at being called ‘Islamophobic’, but they are actually ‘truth-o-phobic’ and accurate-o-phobic’..

Fake News will never stop lying and manipulating in order to push their politically correct narratives. At least more and more seem to be aware of this and are able to find real news elsewhere. But it’s still tragic that German media of all with the history of persecution and killing of millions of Jews in that country would stoop to that level. They really should be ashamed of themselves.

Sh.t propaganda tv we are FORCED to pay for if we don’t want to go to prison. I don’t watch it. Better to read Jihadwatch ?

One would have thought that the oh-so-superior-Germany would have learned *something* from the New Year’s Eve rapes, at least. There’s not much that amazes me anymore, except for the depth of libturd stupidity and their determination to stay that way.
