In Germany, nationalist party Alternative for Germany stands to win a significant number of seats in parliament

In just a few days , Germans will vote in one of the most important elections in their country’s history.

For the first time since the Second World War , a true nationalist party — one the media dubs “far-Right,” stands to win a significant number of seats in parliament.

In this country, largely because of the political rise of Donald Trump , “ America First ” has been a rallying cry for tens of millions of voters for more than a decade .

But in Europe , this kind of thinking isn’t just taboo, but it's basically heresy.

Margaret Brennan suggested that JD Vance was wrong to extol the virtues of free speech, because the Nazis used free speech to “conduct a genocide” Frida Ghitis: Brennan is wrong on the basic facts.

She's wrong, but her own network — CBS — did it for me. This weekend CBS just so happened to do a whole segment about how Germany cracks down on free speech. The corporate press isn’t actually concerned about the rise of authoritarian government. They just want to make sure they’re the ones running it..

MSNBC talking head Rick Wilson says that Germany has more free speech than America does.

He says that America is rated “ 55th in the world” for freedom of expression.

He could be referencing something called the “World Press Freedom index,” which basically surveys journalists and asks them if they feel threatened.

The Atlantic , for example, just ran a big think piece entitled, “How the Woke Right Replaced the Left ”.
