True. But neither did you, of course 
| Barozi said: I watched Tagesschau yesterday (20:00 edition) and they definitely mentioned him. Also checked Spiegel Online and Bild.de and they had him on there too. |
Tagesschau mentioned him, that's correct.
| Barozi said: Considering Süddeutsche Zeitung was the one getting all the information a year ago, I'm sure they mentioned his name as well. |
Then you must be quite surprised to hear that the Süddeutsche did NOT mention his name a single time, at least in the big first article when they broke the story.
The initial ZEIT article on the subject on the other hand mentions Poroshenko - but not by name, they just shortly mentioned that "die Präsidenten von Argentinien und der Ukraine" are on the list. On the other hand, that very same ZEIT article is published under a huge picture of Putin, mentioning his name three times and even tagging the whole article with the keyword "Vladimir Putin" - despite the fact that Putin is not even on the lists, just some cello player who apparently played on his daughter's baptism 30 years ago.
Süddeutsche later also published another article on the Panama leaks, titled "Putins best friends", that completely focused on Putin and was published under a huge drawing of Putin. Once again, Poroshenko wasn't mentioned a single time in the article.
And pretty much the same applies to SPIEGEL Online. They have not one, but already at least two articles on the Panama leaks focusing on Putin, so much that they're already mentioning his name in the headline. Neither article mentions Poroshenko though.
But you are right that SpOn also has at least one article on the Panama leaks where Poroshenko's name is actually mentioned.
Anyway, what I'm trying to point out is that the coverage in german media is once again extremely biased, one-sided and Anti-Putin, despite the fact that unlike hundred thousands of people who are actually and personally being incriminated by the Panama leaks, they seem to focus on one person who is not on the list. That's stinking propaganda.

I didn't even know RTL 2 has a news programme. I guess I'm by far not as familiar with BILD and RTL channels as you apparently are.
