Not good.

Some days ago there was an essay on the terrible (=lacking) quality of German journalists - especially the young ones who have just passed journalism school - and their extremely heavy linking and sympathizing with the political Green and left, and how journalism has degenerated to just paste-and-copy from the other guy, without doing own research and not trying to verify and evaluate any info independently (not even knowing anymore how to do that), and that nowadays three quarters of the German pool of journalists are PC gurus and confessing Green supporters. Unfortunately it was in German only, that's why I did not post it. The tone of German mainstream media show these heavy biases, and very strongly so. I have started to evade heavily to niche media and blogs. Mainstream media nowadays sound like the official state television of the former GDR.

We have similiar strong tendencies amongst teachers and pedagogues over here, the union of theirs being extremely left-leaning.
