Queer Games Played on Hungary
Last week Hungary passed a law supposed to restrict the exposure of LGBT lobby material to children. It’s application is largely public schools, but Bertelsmann’s TV channel RTL Klub warns already that they were perportedly so scared that they could shift the program schedules of classics such as Harry Potter(?!?) or the sitcom ‘Friends.’
As a reaction the stadion in Munich was planned to be lit in protest garish. Tonight Mayor Dieter Reiter wanted to project the rainbow flag on the hall where the soccer match between the multicultural German team and the brute, yet to be enlightened Huns, eh, Hungarians takes place. That plan was scrapped. The organizer UEFA declined. A first and silent attempt to fight back against the constant politicization of everything all the time.
Deutsche Welle’s View on World Refugee Day
Harrison Mwilima at Deutsche Welle, which is a leg of the German public broadcasting system, has designed a new form of cooperation between Africa and Europe: Europe denies all its interests and African regimes get everything they want.
For that to work Europeans have to listen. Currently they work with dictators, he abhors, just to curb migration. They should rather listen to same dictators, he proposes. The piece is another intellectual gem highlighting the quality of German public broadcasting.

Eritrean Murders Child – An Unusual Media Cycle
Yesterday, in the city of Frankfurt, a man pushed a woman and her child in front of a train. The eight-year old died. It was not the only murder of its kind and it is a case the media would normally wish to hide: The murderer was from Africa! Why does this case defy the usual media propaganda approach? The reason lies in the propaganda logic itself. We are used to narratives being enhanced with children involvement. When a child is involved in a story at this point, the industry cannot revert cause and sideline it anymore. They fear the “exploitation” by the political right.
