It's not a different version. Just a different spin on the same story. It changes nothing. Notice how the Tagesspiegel only says that some of the protesters used axes to break into a building, then threatened employees but not if they used the axes for it. It does not say they used them as arms. It also does not say if the protesters that threatened people and vandalised the building are the ones that are now about to be deported just that they also broke in. It implies it though. The wonderful thing about implications is that you can imply stuff about someone that isn't falsifiedable. So it does not add relevant details about the four people threatened by deportation. Just spin. You are being toyed with.

Thanks :) I'll bookmark them and check it out when I have time

For me personally I can say that I do not read the intercept often enough to have a grasp on how reliable they are. So the publishers name and it's associated clout alone wasn't enough for me to believe the story's content. If you are more familiar with them then maybe that's why our initial reactions to the story were different. Imho it's ok to focus on a storys credibility first before discusing it's content. Even if the contents message transports the right message. In hindsight it was bad of couse but hindsight is 20/20. Anyone who down votes this just because it may be false is overreacting though since it's understandable that the intercept couldn't link to any external sources here.

The Tagesspiegel as well. One of the German papers of middle size. They also asked sources independently.

Nope I just thought it was wird that no other oulet was reporting in this. Since then they have picked up the story and got confirmation on the story indepentanly. But it was weird that something of this magnitude wasn't picked up by anyone immeadeatly. I also would have believed it if the intercept linked to some sources but they didn't. Probably because there were none that were public ally accessible. It sometimes happens that newsstorys get out that are false so I've made it a rule of mine to not trust story's of significant magnitude when there is only one source.

Oh interesting. Can you tell me what they are Spending the money on? I know of DW who often pushes german Propaganda but I think in the whole picture of the news media their reach is relatively small compared to other news outlets' reach.

But I still don't think we pretend there aren't any Nazis in Germany. You may have missed it or the news hasn't reached you ;) but there was a big wave of protests in 2024 against rightwing extremism here Wikipedia no need to read it all but you can scroll down to the list of protests and look at the participant amounts.

I am a German citizen and we do not pretend we don't have fascist citizens. Why do you think we do?

Taz for example being the biggest one. They are talking about Gaza contantly. They also haven't picked up this story

Depends. If your dick is made oft neutrons you can stick it it in the liquid Lead-Lithium mixture and produce Tritium. It would probably even be apreciated by the researchers since your making fuel for the fusion reactor. If its a normal dick I'd not recommend it though since it can be highly toxic. As to where to find it I have to disiapoint you. The reactor is currently still being desinged.

 

I'm german and have been listening to it to get the american perspective on world events. They seem to be rather neutral and don't make a spectacle of things like CNN or abc does which helps me with focusing on the facts. They currently are my favourite american news source. Yet I rarely see them referenced. What do you guys think about them? What's their vibe in your opinion?

It's a newly proposed fusion reactor prototype. It's a stellerator type reactor. Together with the Tokamak type reactor these two are the currently most promising types to achieve fusion and generate more energy than they take to operate. While the tokamakak type looks more symmetrical to the human eye the stellerator types have adopted very weird looking shapes where the symmetries are more hidden. The pictures are from this paper by mostly people from the institute who created the to date biggest stellerator type fusion generator Wendelstein 7-x. Their proposed prototype 'Stelaris' is a lot bigger than the 7-x.

Bonus (with little context):

And heres a shematic view oft how it would look like from outside. Just like a donut.
