After the New York Times, the Washington Post is the second important newspaper to rethink it’s coverage [1] of Bush’s war on terrorism. Albeit their publishers preconceived opinion – which is also very popular in German society – that the American media coverage of the Bush administration is for the most part one-sided and that the German coverage is way more “objective” I doubt that any German newspaper would feature a story that contains that much of self-critisism. Hats off, guys!
