    they also state, that the teenager is a czech national, so what’s the problem? should they not talk about a related crime because it was done by syrians?

      With a quick Google search I could find three knife attacks in Germany in the last few days not involving any foreigners. Why should knife attacks by foreigners be singler out like in that article?

        they shouldn’t…all of them should be referenced, and all info about the perpetrators should be included.

        do you have links to the ones you mentioned? google only shows me attacks by afghans.

          February 17, Hodenhagen

          February 18, Düsseldorf

          February 18, Hamburg

          In a country as large as Germany, such incidents are bound to happen fairly regularly. But international media usually only reports them if the perpetrator is a foreigner. A headline like “German man (25) from Hamburg stabs female relative (51)” won’t receive much attention, after all. This though obviously distorts the public’s perception of what is going on.

            People are not understanding that there is a hard-on for conservatives when it comes to foreigners/immigrants so they’ll spread those article even with misinformation involved because as your sources show, not much “news” about those stabbing albeit how recent they are
