Like, seriously. The German news are actually quite focused on what's going on in the world, it takes up quite a bit of space in reporting. German media also run their own news agency, DPA, so reporting quality is actually quite ok.Culturally, Germany is a sponge. Whatever comes their way, Germans soak it up. Not everybody will like everything all at once. But chances are good there's a large enough followership to make it stick. Whether its music, shows, food, fashion or holiday traditions.
