Controversy
Klose’s reporting on the rampage in Münster was criticized by Christoph Sterz for Deutschlandfunk because of the “defamatory” use of the “racist term ‘ Passportdeutscher ‘, meaning Germans with a migration background”. As such, Klose referred to the suspect after his personal data became known.
Der Bundesvorsitzende der Deutschen Polizeigewerkschaft Rainer Wendt schloss sich den Spekulationen an und sagte während der Live-Übertragung vor der ganzen Welt, dass „a terrorist attack with everyday objects is possible in Germany”. A day later, the broadcaster n-tv announced on Twitter that it had a strong rating of 3.5%.
