    Today‘s media landscape is awful. Headlines made similar claims about elections in Germany earlier this year. It was especially bad about the state elections in North-Rhine Westphalia where virtually every headline claimed a huge victory for the far right but in reality they didn‘t win a single district and didn‘t get a single mayor candidate elected. In terms of actually gaining control it was an absolute disaster. A major failure for the far right. A party with 15%-20% of the votes being so powerless is frankly unprecedented.
