Yesterday, Gera hosted a patriotic, pro-German rock festival. Police security reported that over 4000 people were at the event, making it one of the largest of such music festivals to date.
However, the press had a different story to tell...
First, the figure of "over 4000" attendees was cut in half. Second, the small demonstration against the festival was reported as the main story (1, 2, 3, 4). Third, the following photo, taken by the ddp news agency, was used by several news agencies to portray "Rock für Deutschland":
Does this image of a dozen skinheads and streetfighting-types convey the same ideas as the first two images, which were taken at the same event? Of course not. It portrays a stereotype.
What the press is doing - trying to create a certain image of the event rather than simply reporting the news - is hardly a surprise. In the struggle to decide the fate of the German nation, one side takes an interest in the preservation of German culture and national well-being, but this isn't the side of the press; the press constantly agitates for a diverse society without the community of folk. One side is proud of its ethnic identity, but this isn't the side of the press, either. German media distances itself from German ethnic identity and will promote any identity, no matter now degenerate or perverse, as long as this identity has nothing to do with traditionalism.
Interestingly, writing amongst their own, the German-hating left did not shrink the attendance figures at "Rock für Deutschland" or pretend that the attendees were something they were not (1, 2, 3, 4); instead, the high attendance figures and young, diverse audience at "Rock für Deutschland" were major talking points, because these details indicate that Germany is waking up from its self-hating slumber, which means less power, influence and support for the German-hating left in Germany. The German-hating left was particularly concerned because it could not understand why, in a wasteland of Mickey Mouse Marxist-Multikultur, German youth are looking for something else and finding it at events like "Rock für Deutschland". This is happening, of course, in spite of the system's efforts to destroy national feeling and wage war on German identity.
Here is one video from the event.
