    RT has singled Manuel Ochsenreiter out as their primary on-air spokesman for the German point of view, featuring him on talk shows and extended interviews on the network scores of times over the past four years

    and yet he is a racist Neo-Nazi.


    Manuel Ochsenreiter is not a household name either in the United States or in his native Germany. He’s the editor of “Zuerst! German News Magazine” whose promotional material says that it’s “committed only to the life and survival interests of the German people and the precious heritage of our European culture“, and describes other German media as being under the control of “foreign interests.” In a format familiar to readers of mainstream news magazines, Zuerst! promotes Neue Rechte and Völkisch ideas such as the preservation of “German ethnical (sic) identity”, burnishing the image of the Third Reich in popular culture and opposing what it regards as the humiliating legacy of denazification.

    The current edition of Zuerst! features a story about “welfare immigrants” and another about “gypsy pickpockets”. Other articles focus on the evils of globalization and loss of ethnic identity. A piece combining art criticism with implications of corruption slams Berlin’s Holocaust memorial. (They also have a piece which implausibly claims that many Russians would like to return Kaliningrad to Germany, comparing this to the situation in Crimea.) Zuerst!’s publisher is longtime far-right Dietmar Munier, a veteran of Germany’s far-right political scene and reportedly a friend to several Holocaust deniers





    now why is Russian media hiring Neo-Nazis?

    cause he is all to happy to support Russia's invasion of Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk.

    Just as Stalin made deals with Nazis when it was to their territorialist advantage, so has Russian media today made deals with Nazis when it is to their territorialist advantage.

    shocking, isn't it?

    the Nazis killed how many Russians, and yet they hire one as a news host.

    They killed about 25 million. But I don't understand why being a Nazi not illegal in Russia anyhow. Germany and Austria have very strict Neo-Nazi laws. So I don't think this individual can come back to Germany without getting immediately arrested.

    I'm just confused about this entire situation.
