A member of public broadcasting admitted to increasing the volume of boos during President Donald Trump’s delivery of remarks in Davos — and outrageous admission of fake news.
The broadcaster for ARD, Germany’s version of America’s NPR, was soundly and roundly criticized for his fakery.
Trump was in the middle of talking about he wasn’t aware how nasty the press really was until he become a politician.
Listen for yourself:
But when the clip made the German public broadcasting rounds, the boos were much more noticeable.
Talk about fake news.
Breitbart has more:
President Trump gave his speech at Davos on Thursday, again delivering sharp criticism to the mainstream media. He stated: “it wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be.”
ARD released a clip of the speech on the Twitter account for its popular news programme “Tagesschau” in which distinct boos could be heard directly after the President’s comments. A short time later the programme admitted it had booted the volume of the audio in order to showcase the booing. The show has since been accused of “manipulation”, Stern reports.
Those behind the programme wrote on Twitter, “We did actually make the sound a little louder at the end so that you can hear the booing. Only in this way can we reflect what our correspondents have reported.”
Editor-in-chief of the German tabloid newspaper Bild Julian Reichelt called out those involved saying it was, “hard to imagine that you would have done the same for applause.”
Kai Gniffke, the editor in chief of ARD defended the move saying that it proved the reporting of his journalists.
“By the way, newspapers also make comparisons when they enlarge image sections and may even mark them with a red circle – nobody would come up with the idea of calling this manipulation, but rather journalistic precision,” he said.
The move is not the first time the German media has shown a bias against the U.S. President.
German left-leaning magazine Der Spiegel has been slammed by many for its various magazine covers including one that depicted President Trump cutting off the head of the Statue of Liberty designed to be reminiscent of Islamic State executions.
Some in the German press have also engaged in radical rhetoric regarding Trump and his presidency with Josef Joffe, editor and publisher of left-wing paper Die Zeit, saying last year on a political panel television programme that the only way to end the “Trump catastrophe” was a “murder in the White House.”
In a more bizarre comment, editor in chief of the centre-right paper Die Welt Ulf Poschardt said that the best way for Germans to oppose Trump was to be more multicultural and more “gay.”
Germany’s establishment media collectively lost their minds when Breitbart London reported on a cathedral being set on fire in January last year, in addition to the use of an illustrative jetski photo which happened to include a barely recognisable, famous semi-retired footballer.

Eurabia is real now. US foreign policies have been a total disgrace. USA has been bombing the middle east for decades, just to lose Europe to islam. WW1, WW2 were just in vain: westerners killed each other just to surrender their lands to islam. It’s the will of mohammad
Western media and fake news are OLD FRIENDS http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/images/attachement/jpg/site1/20080402/00123fc5bdb7095d80cc06.jpg This was from 2008

Think about CNN, when it altered the 911 call, regarding Trayvon DinduNuffin. Not only did they heavily edit it, they “voiced over” parts. Easily caught … changed back … but nothing done, no retraction(s) or apology. That was beyond “fake news”, that was Perpetrating Fraud. Happens every day.
The germans have learned to lie well from their islamic masters. Gobbels was good, but today’s german propaganda machine is far superior. No wonder the lame stream media are considered garbage by most people.
Just thinning the herd. The more they do this the more people will realize how truly WORTHLESS the MSM is. Keep it up please, till the last man turn the lights off at ABC.
Goodbye!
this is insane
Typical lib. If you do not like the facts or reality, make up your own.
Always had canned laughter, now canned boos, (as opposed to canned booze ) Progress, folks.
The Germans have lost all sense of pride and dignity…they hate Americans, but they love Islam.
