No wonder most germans publicly refer to Bush as being worse than Hitler.
I don't trust the media here anymore to have an objective approach.
A recent poll in Holland showed that more than half of the Dutch people view bush' policy as the biggest threath to world peace. (muslim) Terrorists and Israel scored a lot less points. And trust me, we don't consider Bush to be worse than Hitler. True, ARD & ZDF are not as objective as Dutch media (I can receive ARD, ZDF, NDR & RTL 1 here). But what I'm trying to say is it's not the media indoctrinating German people that Bush is evil, it's mostly Bush (US government) and his actions that give him that image. And the massive quantity of Americans still supporting Bush certainly doesn't improve America's image in the world....
