    Overall I’ve been routinely surprised that dw seems to be doing far more neutral reporting and investigative journalism regarding israel than the supposedly independent ÖR, where most of what I’ve seen feels rather biased.

    Maybe it really is some internal strife, or maybe DW just employs better journalists sticking to their ethics, or a mix of things.
