The scenes in Chemnitz have rightly horrified not just activists and antifascists in Germany, but people around the world appalled at the appearance of right-wing hooligans flooding the streets of Germany, making the Hitler salute and using the death of an individual to stoke an openly fascist world outlook. However, while few doubt the seriousness of the situation, press coverage has been subpar in Germany and simply abominable in the English-speaking world.

While it is undeniable that many in Germany have been detrimentally impacted by neoliberal economic policies , the media, especially in t...

Students were gassed and even shot protesting right-wing Arab leaders allied to the German government , especially the Shah of Iran, while the tabloid media (mostly the Springer Press) heaped prai...
