@KK @Regez Sehe ich auch so. Für mich ist das Ganze ein Politikversagen, das begleitet wird von einem massiven Medienversagen. Zwei Effekte, die sich gegenseitig verstärken. Politiker:innen merken, dass sie mehr Reichweite + Erfolg haben, wenn sie leere Phrasen dreschen, die von Medien verstärkt werden, weil das Klicks generiert. Teufelskreis
