After moving to Germany and living in Germany, we have definitely noticed a massive difference in how the new in the U.S. and in Germany report on current events. We’ve also noticed a massive differences in how Germans and Americans perceive the news in their respective countries! Find out more here 😊

❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist and Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to #travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of #LivingAbroad as #expats as we move to #Germany!

What’s your main source for news?
die „Tagesschau“ is surprisingly accurately translated by calling it „The Daily Show“.
I usually take a look daily at CNN, have a very short laugh at Fox News, and then return to german news channels. CNN seems biases, but in no way nearly as bad as Fox – Fox is really like MAD Magazine… but sometimes it helps to see where CNN left out tiny bits, but what is most important – it shows how almost half of all Americans see the world.
utter crap!
I speak and follow news in 4 languages, Arabic, French, English and German. I also follow RT in Arabic and some south Asian news in English. I can tell you that I am offended most by the German news, as they almost never present opposit point of views, especially concerning international politics. They lie too much too often in ways that I find sometimes very funny. Furthermore It's very easy to be cancelled in all German networks if you don't follow the state's point of view – I prefer to say that the news are funded by the state rather than the public. There exists some "independent" local news that dare to bring up opposite point of views but are badly funded and lack most of the time proper understanding of international politics especially if it's outside the EU.
The American news have their own problems, but at least I know how to navigate them, and I can browse through different journals to pickup what they have to say about certain topics, and it helps me get a general idea about what is going on, as, although they are funded privately, they are still able to present different point of views.
I an talking here about news journals rather tv news, because I don't watch tv anymore, but the German news format is very common in state controlled new channels like in my home country, which also have the same issues as the German news, which is to channel the state point of view into thr public.
I d rather watch 20 privately funded news channels, knowing their political and economical ideology than watch state controlled news.
The short clip of you comparing the presentation styles alreads shows how insanely biased the Tagesschau and the whole of German state TV is.
They're calling Mileil a "right wing populist" instead of a libertarian, which, given German history, is as close as you can get to calling someone a Nazi without actually calling him one.
Imagine the US being a one party state (ideologically), with the sole party being the democats, who also control the news and force every household to pay $20 a month for that "service"…
Germany is basically California, but without other states that serve as a counter balance…
Tagesschau has an incredible bias. If something happens, I know what they show and what not. If remember correctly, they mentioned Corona on 27. Februar, when the trouble already started. I have to pay for it , but I don't use it for getting information. Too much bias.
You present Germany as an example, but AFD still grows in popularity so sometimes clearly doesn’t work.
9:21 @PassportTwo That'll be "Tagesschau24" in Germany then 😅
To those who praise the german media: I am convinced that you guys would love to pay for it even if the narrative would shift by 180°. Is this correct or am I right?
Well the problem with and big news station is these are Pro Nato news stations and the problem with that is theyre biased so i dont watch them
6:27 the problem is they are whenn the Israel Palestine conflict began the german media was totally pro Israel which is understandable and now that Israel is taking alooot of shit everyone is switching up
10:02 hot take, considering you are talking about the third most powerful country in the world and the most populous in the EU/Europe (not considering russia)… Germany also produces enough news to only cover germany, but that would be ignorant. So perhaps the reason lays somewhere else…
A publicly funded and highly controlled media is better than private media that is only after profit, mongering of hate and fear? You don't say…
Nobody can tell me american news are neutral lmao. They're a hivemind

Hey!
Das jugendwort ist wichtig
Ok?
There is nothing different. Tv is GARBAGE in germany, the US and the rest of the planent. The same goes for independent sources, they are awesome in germany and the us.
You to talk a lot and say little. That's amazing. Thanks anyway, though.
Bernd das brot ❤
A bit of history: until the mid 80s there was public TV only, you usually only had ARD, ZDF, and the local ARD station like e.g. WDR
Then under Chancelor Kohl the government deemed both stations to be too left leaning / to critical of the government, and pushed private station licenses as an alternative. This basically gave us the RTL and Sat1 groups in addition to the publicly funded ones.
Also the SAT1 founder, Leo Kirch, was a buddy of Kohl and owned the largest cinnema and TV movie distribution and movie archive here in Germany.
So esp. SAT1 group was more government friendly but never really got a hold on the news and political discussion front.
Both groups also tried to run their own dedicated news channels, but these essentially mostly show rather cheap 3rd party documentaries all day, with short news segments for a few minutes every hour, and a news ticker tape during the other shows.
I'd also like you to comment on things like Monitor, Presseclub, and especially "Die Anstalt"
"News" in the states is interest(s)-group-opinion aka partisan propaganda, in Germany news it's like the the NWS forecast or daily weather reports then picked up by channels & meteorologists
Deutschland has a united, conservative, stability perspective educated population mentality.
USA normalizes, educates and proliferates to divide, conquer and profit-fuck the USA and World population mentality.
Simple.
The German news broadcasts are part of what we call "educational television", it is certain that only politically correct content is presented. They show you what you have to think and say, I've been tired of it for a long time.
When you are talking about german TV or politics or anything being left or right take into account that it is a different thing whether you are from Germany or from USA:
I think Democrats in the USA are right in the german sense and Republicans are far right …
And for instance "socialism" is thought differently in Germany and USA …
you see: SPD has "social" in it's name.
To be "liberal" in USA is nearly a curse in the USA … FDP with Christian Lindner is called the party of the Liberalsin Germany.
Really different mind set. 😅

Just like the BBC the Tagesschau would never give in to government pressure.
I'm German, I don't watch television anymore since about 10 years. If I decide i wanna know, what's going on in the world, I usually switch to online version of newspapers. I read multiple different papers then, but around I'd say around 75 % of the articles now need a paied subscriptions, so i can't read those articles entirely, just the headlines
Fox News is now what is closest to Germany's propaganda channel in wwII
Sorry das stimmt nicht: Die "Anders-Denkenden" vertrauen der Tagesschau NICHT! Wir sind gezwungen den Schwachsinn zu finanzieren. Aber NEURRALE Berichterstattung sieht definitiv anders aus!
The 2 party system in the US slants things I believe. Speaking as a German married to an American. It's interesting though, I can see the point. The German news has to cater for a wider audience. I feel re. news programs I tend to connect the dots more in the US. Murdoch – Fox for example, political bias etc.
zum Glück sterben die ÖRR Zuschauer aus
American news has been developing and growing unimpeded since the advent of TV in the early '50s. Ted Turner's cable revolution with CNN 24 hour news revolutionized TV . Europe didn't innovate but rather looked to the U.S. how to present news, and like so many things they are a decade or two behind in trends. Also the US is good at spreading it's own culture as everybody knows Hollywood📽️ and McDonald's🍔
Diese Kommentarsektion gehört offiziell der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Sprechen und schreiben Sie deutsch!
They are lying to us on a massive scale. German news only reports the white lies of the incompetent government!
I am sorry but something should be mentioned here:
There was a report asking the people who work for ARD what they vote for and the result was that nearly 90% are voting for rather left to very left parties.
Conservative people are almost non exsistent in the ARD.
A perfect example of what this means is the example shown here:
Describing milei as a populistic right wing politician is enough to be disqualified in order to be viewed as neutral
The news in Germany is complete garbage, because they are not neutral, make stupid comments and suggest garbage ideas
Honestly, I never knew what ARD was suppose to mean. I and I doubt many Germans do. ZDF is much more straight forward!
Many people complain about the GEZ but THIS is why it is important. Independent source for information. Also more considering there are many channels, websites, radio stations etc. etc. etc.
I found it funny 3sat was listed here as "local" even though it actually is international. It is a cooperation from the Swiss, German and Austrian public broadcasters.
Goofy ahh news😭🙏🏻💀
Television is pretty much just left wing propaganda nowadays. Especially in the state owned television. 15 years ago it was still neutral. Good old tjmes
Please for heavens sake take into account that their are people out their that are sensitive to blinking screens.
At least for me it increases the chance of migraines.
I don't understand why US Americans need to make a show out of everything. The news are the neutral reality, not a show.
I left Germany 10 years ago, but I still watch the Tagesschau via internet everyday 😊 it is actually only about 10 minutes of news, the rest is about sports and the weather forecast
In a nutshell: German nationals and residents are forced to pay monthly to fund a liberal, atheist, state operated, brainwashing institution 🤷♂
Wow, there are other people on the planet besides the US!!!
They even do have their own language and culture.
They have a complete unique view of the world.
That is so mind boggling.
Edit: the video is more informative than I thought. Well done.
Well Germany has just as biased news coverage as America they just dont make it look entertaining and they also censor way more stuff then most other country in Europe i would never trust German news at least when it comes to American news you know they are mostly just lieing to you
As a German, I do trust ARD. But especially since covid, I feel distrust is rising from especially the Telegram bubbles and AfD (far right faction) followers. Not surprisingly though, these people mostly portray the rather uneducated and economically weak.
