As a narrator of postwar German literature, he depicted urban destruction, the hunger and hardship of survivors, and the homecoming and disillusionment of returning soldiers.

"I buy the FAZ on paper - and read NZZ, Spiegel and Bild online before the paywall. But I am just as informed as if I had subscribed to it. When I see the headline and the author, I already know what the text says. I also know who among the authors is currently behind with their alimony payments and therefore has to write in a certain direction." Harald Schmidt

"When I sometimes leaf through my company's press review in the morning, I get the feeling that the range of opinion used to be broader. There is an astonishing homogeneity in German editorial offices when it comes to weighing up and classifying information. The pressure to conform in the minds of journalists seems to me to be quite high." Frank-Walter Steinmeier

Quote about Angela Merkel's power by Georg SchrammCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The fact that Angela Merkel has been named the most powerful woman in the world is a farce. She is not even the most powerful woman in her own country. The fact that newspapers are now writing that Ursula von der Leyen is the second most powerful woman in Germany is a deliberate attempt by the press to dumb down the public. The two most powerful women in this country are Liz Mohn and Friede Springer – Bertelsmann and Bild Group. The Bild newspaper, which already carries the illiteracy of this country in its name. Bertelsmann and Bild are the vociferous heralds of a moribund system that is dangling from the strings of money lenders worldwide. A wave of Friede Springer's hand is enough, and the hired writers will finally dethrone the chancellor and throw her to her own party to be devoured. Perhaps we will see this happen soon. Those who are truly powerful are certain that they have already lost the favor of the people. That is what makes the chancellor so valuable. For as long as she has the favor of the people, she will be needed. But only as long as she has the favor of those in power will she be able to do so. In biology, this is called symbiosis. But when it is at the expense of the host animal, it is called parasitic symbiosis, and unfortunately, we are the host animal." Georg Schramm alias Lothar Dombrowski

Quote on media distortion and partial truths by Ignazio SiloneCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Not a day goes by without the mainstream media reporting on some war, epidemic, or other problem in the world. The problem is that this type of reporting, as we find it, is sheer madness. Information is distorted or not mentioned at all. It is the partial truths that make the press so dangerous. Wars are sold as “humanitarian interventions,” diseases are pushed to play into the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. There are always two sides to every coin, but we are only shown one side, which is supposed to be the “truth.” They show us what they want us to see and leave out what does not fit into their desired worldview. At this point, we should ask ourselves whether we want to continue consuming this filth and supporting it financially by buying certain tabloids such as Bild, Spiegel & Co. “Either you rebel, or you become complicit.”" Ignazio Silone

Quote by Professor Christoph Degenhart on political bias of ARD and ZDF towards right-wing criticsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"In the portrayal of political processes, I often see a certain political one-sidedness. For example, when it comes to the topics of ecology or Europeanization, critics are always put in the right-wing corner. [....] The broadcasters adopt government lines in an undifferentiated manner. ARD and ZDF are increasingly acting as an acclamation forum for politics." Professor Christoph Degenhart
