German Press Reactions to the Debates

Let's start with the ever-popular Bild Zeitung:

"Good night, Joe!"— devastating assessment from the U.S. Media.

Fight for the Old Man's House (pun in German using "Greis", "old man", which rhymes with Weiß, i.e. "Weißes Haus"). Stumbling appearance by Biden, Democrats in Panic.

The Die Welt: U.S. commentators shocked by Biden's performance —"It was a disastrous performance." And "Biden's repeated freezes cause panic among Democrats."

And from Die Frankfurter Rundschau: "Aggressive panic among Democrats."

And, mirabile dictu, I did find a few minutes to look at Der Spiegel:

"Biden should do the world a favor and step down."

"The President crashes."

"Is incumbent Joe Biden the right candidate for the Democrats?"

Keep in mind that Der Spiegel is super-left and its coverage of Bush and Trump in office was appallingly biased against them, their coverage of Obama and Biden fawning, dishonest, sickeningly biased in their favor.

From Der Stern:

"Democrats paralyzed by shock. Will Biden remain their candidate?"

"Thanks for everything, Joe, but please quit!"

"International press rips Biden to shreds after TV duel with Trump."

This post was promoted to the Main Feed at the recommendation of Ricochet's members.
