Do any German readers want to offer their judgments on this. I thought I remembered from the 1970s that some of Springer's newspapers were a bit sensationalist.
Well, IMO Bild [1] is basically the German version of The Sun based on sensationalism.
On the surface this seems pretty weird. A maker of $200 technical books on math and science buys a US based political online media site? Doesn't seem like a great deal of "synergy" or whatever.
