Shitstorm over Spahn loses every measure

The article discusses a controversy involving Health Minister Jens Spahn, where his actions or statements have sparked significant criticism and backlash, referred to as a 'shitstorm.' The focus is on the reaction from a close associate of Armin Laschet, who is likely commenting on the intensity of the criticism against Spahn. The situation suggests that the level of public outrage has reached extreme proportions, possibly due to perceived missteps or controversial decisions by Spahn.

Bias read (Center): The article appears to present the situation objectively, focusing on the fact that there is a strong public reaction against Spahn without explicitly taking a stance on whether the criticism is justified or not.

AfD: Chrupalla and Siegmund sing the GDR anthem together on stage Extremely strange, says Frei

The article reports that members of Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, including representatives Chrupalla and Siegmund, performed the East German national anthem together on stage. This act was described by critic Frei as 'extremely disturbing.'
