It seems the media accomplished it's mission. Personally I was more shocked by the twist of the story. A husband and father puts his wife and kids in mortal danger on a overcrowded boat to get from Turkey to Greece. Wife and kids die. Everybody is to blame except the one who was supposed to protect them. Days earlier, Merkel said that Germany will help everyone who enters it's borders. Waves of immigrants enter into a frenzy to reach Germany. People die. We see pictures of dead kids. Merkel has no responsibility. Days later she changes her mind and pressures every country in EU to help with the waves but does nothing to discourage them. My conclusion ? Western Europe politicians and their supporters are insane.
