My opinion of the German state propaganda TV stations ARD and ZDF already was very low before, they arte dispicable and and stuck ina series of scandals anyway. This news now does not help to heal their reputation. But it is representative for the perverse and lefty Zeitgeist in general over here: I only say "Dokumenta".

For his statements in the ARD documentary "Death and Games," a Palestinian terrorist from the 1972 Olympics received an exclusive fee of $2,000. The bereaved families of the murdered athletes are stunned and speak of a "media scandal".
A fugitive Palestinian terrorist who was involved in the murder of eleven athletes of the Israeli Olympic team in Munich in 1972 has collected an exclusive fee of 2000 US dollars for the description of the massacre in the ARD. This was confirmed by a spokeswoman for ARD to the news magazine FOCUS.
Mohammed Safady (69) boasted in the four-part ARD documentary "Death and Games," broadcast in September, about the attack on the Israeli team and the killing of the eleven athletes and a Bavarian policeman. The act was heroic and for the first time made the world aware of the fate of the Palestinian people, Safady said in the documentary. He has no regrets. Any time, the former member of the Fatah terrorist group said, he would take on a new assignment to murder Jews.
It had been agreed in advance with the broadcasters SWR, rbb and BR involved in the documentary that no fees would be paid to Palestinian hostage-takers who were still alive, the spokeswoman for the Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb) broadcaster, Stefanie Tannert, told FOCUS. However, it later emerged that the producer responsible for the documentary had paid an exclusive fee of $2,000, she said.
Relatives of the murdered Israeli athletes reacted with horror to the news of the fee for a murderer. The spokeswoman for the victims' families, Ankie Spitzer, whose husband André was tied up in the helicopter and presumably shot by Mohamed Safady, told FOCUS: "For me, it's a media scandal on the part of ARD that killers are paid money for their inhuman statements."
