Germany’s Scandal: Biased Broadcasting
Germany, which has been the subject of scandals throughout the tournament, has once again come to the fore with an incident. It was observed that the German media was “clearly biased” in its coverage. In particular, the goal scored by the Spanish player who dodged three German players was subject to criticism that the German media was biased in its coverage by not showing a replay of the position.
The incidents that took place when the referee decided to continue the match despite the intense objections of the German management regarding the penalty objection that was developed in the extra time minutes, once again revealed the biased broadcasting approach of the German media.
