President Trump

A University of Maryland study on American public opinion found that:
Fifty-seven percent of mainstream media viewers believed that Iraq gave substantial support to Al-Qaeda, or was directly involved in the September 11 attacks (48% after invasion).
Sixty-nine percent believed that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11 attacks.
Twenty-two percent believed that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq. (Twenty-one percent believed that chem/bio weapons had actually been used against U.S. soldiers in Iraq during 2003)
In the composite analysis of the PIPA study, 80% of Fox News watchers had one or more of these perceptions, in contrast to 71% for CBS and 27% who tuned to NPR/PBS.[20]

In an investigation of the news coverage of Colin Powell's 2003 U.N. address, rhetorical scholar John Oddo found that mainstream journalists "strengthened Powell’s credibility, predisposed audiences to respond favorably to his discourse, and subtly altered his claims to make them seem more certain and warranted."[21] In 2003, a study released by Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting stated the network news disproportionately focused on pro-war sources and left out many anti-war sources. According to the study, 64% of total sources were in favor of the Iraq War while total anti-war sources made up 10% of the media (only 3% of US sources were anti-war). The study stated that "viewers were more than six times as likely to see a pro-war source as one who was anti-war; with U.S. guests alone, the ratio increases to 25 to 1

Just reminding that there has been a "Germany" since 1871 ... when Germany became unified.

That's a good idea.

So the world would have to rely just on twitter tweets to get informed by US-government?

Wouldn't it be better to establish an equivalent to the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda and establish a control and coordination over all aspects of communication and media?

You being German, know your history better then I do, until 1990, there were 2 Germany's.

No questions allowed! They can submit their questions in an email and wait for a response if it is deemed worthy of one.

After Hitler, you're lucky the country wasn't completely nuked, ...

The whole German language is lucky to still exist.

Germany wasn't partially nuked.

Well, that's new. I'd always thought, it was a British/American aerial bombing attack .(Some 800 British bombers had dropped more than 1,400 tons of high-explosive bombs and more than 1,100 tons of incendiaries on Dresden, the bombers of the U.S. Eighth Air Force dropped more than 950 tons of high-explosive bombs and more than 290 tons of incendiaries on Dresden. Later, the Eighth Air Force would drop 2,800 more tons of bombs on Dresden in three other attacks before the war’s end.)

My great-grandmother, grandmother, aunt, her newly born baby and my niece's nurse died one year earlier during one of the bomb raids on my father's hometown when my grandparent's home was bombed- but no nukes there either.

nuked
What happens to something (or someone) that gets so utterly destroyed or blown up that, no matter what, cannot possibly be in any worse condition.

in other words, completely dicintigrated from existence.
player 1: dude, I used the shoop da whoop gun on it, and it disappeared.
player 2: u completely nuked it, dude.

President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer said that over 45 million people follow him on social media; that he can have a direct conversation, he doesn’t have to have it funneled through the media.

Fine. 90 percent who don't rely on those forms of communication are irrelevant.
But wait .... they can get the tweets via the media.
Problem solved.

Well (lucky for you) we didn't even have nukes at the time, either, at least not ready to go.
