Predictable Bias of German Public TV Channel ARD

Germany's public TV channel ARD, 10.30pm news:

Interviews with Iraqis in Falludja - all pro Kerry. Brief mention that U.S. elite troops around Falludja prefer Bush - but no interviews.

Bias as usual.

BTW: ARD forecasts a 51/49 victory for Kerry, based on first exit polls.

Update: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Blue chips fell on Tuesday in a sharp reversal that trimmed gains in other indexes as Internet sites suggested exit polls had Sen. John Kerry ahead of President Bush in key states in the U.S. presidential election. ... Lisa Hansen, head trader at Transamerica Investment Management, said, "Apparently the blogs are saying that Kerry is ahead in one or two of the swing states and that's why the market dipped."

Well, a caveat is in order:

... the early exit polls in 2000 looked a good deal bleaker than what we are seeing today. For example, early exit polls in 2000 showed us (Bush) down by four in Arizona; we won by six. Early exit polls in 2000 showed us even in Colorado; we won by nine. And early exit polls in 2000 showed us down by three in Florida; we ended up slightly more than even.

On sunday Wolfgang Schäuble sold out at Sabine Christiansen's talk show, and now Broder. Shame on him. Is there anyone out there who has not defected to the dark side yet?

Yeah - stock markets are the most reliable and reasonable indicator for almost anything...

Deutschland is crazy in it's animosity towards Bush and "Amerika" in general. I had a guy in Germany tell me he knew everything about the U.S. because he had read Michael Moore. Having lived in Germany as a student abroad and as an intern the average German newspaper and therefore the average German doesn't know jackshit about America.

We overthrow a facist dictator and we are in the greater wrong because we violated international "law." Achtung Deutschland! Achtung Herr Grass! Amerika just put down a fascist dictator. Bush put down a fascist dictator. What did you do to stop Saddam Hussein from harming human beings because of their political beliefs, ethnicity, or religion?

Furthermore... the killing of Van Gogh better send the idiots of the left in Europe a wake up call. You got some wacko immigrants in your country who resent you for being better off than them. Forsicht, don't let them bully you.
