İ don`t like BİLD, germans most readed daily newspaper. But İ don`t like most critics, either. İt`s something like common sense, that BİLD is not serious journalism and critics about that are quite boring. So İ hate this whining about victims.
İ want to tell about one example, where it`s obvious, that people are just eager to get the victim status. İ want to tell about sebnitz. sebnitz is a small town in south-east germany. like most small towns, and not only the small ones, it`s full of nazis, racists and dull germans. There is nothing special about sebnitz, not even the fact, that there was someone murdered, not even, that this was known and ignored by the inhabitans.
BİLD was the first, who wrote about this, other media did some days later. But, and now it`s becoming a special story, the lamentation about the accusation of the city started. The saxon prime minister - in these times ruling like a king and defending his subjects - gave the order, that there should be no crime, and so the murder got an accident. But this was not enough. They wanted revanche. So they claimed to be victims of an campaign, drove the family of the murdered child out of the town and everyone who was talking about the murder and the evident nazi presence was forced to excuse. İn this athmosphere, guenther walraff, an invatigative writer, was coming to sebnitz and talking about “rufmord” - calumny, but litterally fame murder - he was blaming BİLD to commit notoriously. the people of sebnitz enjoyed this, they were just a little angry, that walraff was criticizing BİLD also for its racist attitudes. read more about this story - in german language, sorry.
There is enough reason to critisize BİLD, for example its homophobia and racism. Why İ`m writing about this? - BİLDblog got an award for media critisizm
