      Wikipedia, Springer is even worse, the company of tabloid press.

        “Springer Science” (scientific journals and books) is not to be confused with “Axel Springer” (Bild, Welt, politico).

            No, one is Axel Springer (tabloid shit), the other is Julius Springer (science stuff, founded around 100 years before the other Springer), they’re not related.

              To cite the famous cabaret artist Volker Pispers talking about the Bild gives a good impression in what it is:

              That filthy newspaper that is so disgusting that you insult dead fish if you wrap it in it.
