No discredit to the NYT overall, but purely on covering the things happening in Berlin I would say consider they aren’t the best medium to cover this / the best source to inform this particular community. Would have really liked it if they would’ve related this to the culture-war they have at home. I mean the way the left and the right each have taken their side of the electorate hostage preventing the formation of a middle-ground isn’t dissimilar to that in other polarized discussions.
