Please do not share links from this rightwing outlet - isn’t someone else reporting on this subject?

Edit: OP shared a link to β€žWeltβ€œ but changed it by now - consider the comment irrelevant.

I'm not familiar with German newspapers, do you have an article from another newspaper I could replace the link with?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The FAZ is still rather conservative, but much better than the "Welt":

https://m.faz.net/agenturmeldungen/dpa/5-5-millionen-menschen-konnten-2022-nicht-angemessen-heizen-19344930.html

Or you could link to DeStatis, the website of the Federal Statistical Office:

https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/Zahl-der-Woche/2023/PD23_48_p002.html

Whatever you like best! Thank you for considering to change the link.

On kbin the article is still linked to β€žWeltβ€œ - does it work on Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yes, probably a federation issue

Okay, OP already changed the link, cause I thought "since when is destatis rightwing?"

Welt has a right wing bias, but it's fairly reliable with facts. So on direct reports on surveys you can use them as source (just like you can use TAZ for example, just with a left-wing bias).

Nah- Springer (Welt, Bild) is different.

Show me the TAZ hate campaigns

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not talking about "Bild" here. They're obviously not reliable. Welt however isn't nearly as polemic. I disagree with a lot they write, but I don't think they do "hate campaigns" either.

Welt is the Bild for those that think or want to appear as intellectual.

Same publisher, same mindset, softer language.

I mean if course they tone it down for the Intellectuals because this type of person is usually more complex and stuff, but they still spread the same narrative

Yeah, they're conservative. But that doesn't make them liars. I'm not saying "Welt" is great if you want a balanced viewpoint and they most certainly pick and chose in what they mention, but you can find that on the other side of the political spectrum as well. It's Bild that doesn't really have a counterpart.
