Here is a thought-provoking article from Politico's Matt Karnitschnig, a member of the RIAS Berlin Kommission board who will also be the guest speaker at a Berlin Alumni Chapter meeting on October 29. Any thoughts on this thesis? "Germany’s media landscape has become an echo chamber for the idea that America is a deeply flawed, racist, semi-democratic state of gun-toting religious fanatics. At the moment, the country is on the brink of collapse and/or a civil war. The underlying message: Trump is just a symptom of much deeper dysfunction. While that narrative has taken hold in other countries (including the U.S. itself), it’s rarely told with such fervor or lack of nuance as in Germany. For an American, it can seem at times that Germans almost wish Trump would be reelected, simply for the “told-you-so” factor. Whether that schadenfreude is rooted in the country’s enduring sense of cultural superiority, the humiliation it suffered at the hands of the U.S. in two world wars, or some combination of thereof, is anyone’s guess."

#RIASBerlin alumni Daniel Prokraka @PokrakaD just had an interesting Opinion piece on main Germany’s flagship Tagesthemen newscast about Berlin‘s new international Airport that finally opens in two weeks — nine years behind schedule. He works for the Bavarian TV BR network but without a Bavarian accent. And instead of offering the Schadenfreude that other Bavarians sometimes have about the long-delayed airport opening, Prokraka‘s editorial was delightfully insightful. ... Read MoreRead Less

Who will win Wisconsin on November 3? That's the big question that many pollsters and even more people across the United States -- and around the world -- are wondering going into the final three weeks of the election. Wisconsin voted for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election going back to 1984 before flipping to the Republicans in 2016. Marquette University political scientist Charles Franklin talks to RIAS journalists in a Zoom talk about the polls in Wisconsin and warns that "no one should be flabbergasted" if President Trump ends up winning the state again even though he is trailing challenger Joe Biden and the Democrats in his and other polls in the state. ...
