Incredible read: Award-winning German reporter for major magazine comes to small town America to write a story. Completely makes everything up.

They didn’t so far but I am sure the guy is not sick as he claims. It’s damage control for der Spiegel. It is obvious that lots of the media in Germany is Fake News. In journalism it is called „constructivism“ when you make stories up to support a certain Weltbild. But the main thing is that journalists today deliver what people want to read. And they loved the articles from Relotius. Refugees who find money and give it back, refugee children in turkey who see Merkel in her dreams, dumb trump supporters etc pp. Delivered as ordered. Relotius is not the only one there are more articles, e.g. regarding Israel who are partly made up to support certain views. Journalism needs to go back to the roots, report fact and don’t write stories.
