Die Zerstörungsmaschine.
Der grösste Medienkonzern der Schweiz diskreditiert Ex-Politikerin und Netzaktivistin Jolanda Spiess-Hegglin mit allen Mitteln. Was sagt das über den Zustand des Schweizer Mediensystems?
So real you still cannot spell out “shit” in your headline.
To unlock insight into the world we’re living in, it helps to remember that we’re in a new era, surrounded by systems designed and built in the old. These systems sit at the center of networks of powerful people, professionals, and political interests whose aim it is to change these systems more quickly—or slow and delay change as long as possible.

However, I never heard about this so-called most popular song in the Viennese area, and I assume it’s simply because I hardly listen to any radio stations #teambandcamp. Anyway, it provides some means to explore unknown musical territory, albeit presumably in terms of the manner these “most popular” songs were compiled by.
