Say What Is
But what exactly is ›what is‹?
This week, DER SPIEGEL put the AfD’s candidate for State Premier of Saxony-Anhalt on its cover. Dirk Kurbjuweit of SPIEGEL defends the editorial decision: Say what is. – That, he argues, is the founder’s mandate. Invoking the same phrase, PIONEER’s Gabor Steingart suspects DER SPIEGEL is »on its way to becoming a left-wing Fox News.« It no longer says what is, he argues, but practises opinion journalism.
Time to think, with the great philosophers, about what ›what is‹ actually is.
