This a doc about the anti-democratic, racist, hate generating magazin (no not a real newspaper) BILD.
Nevertheless this could have been an interesting look into that medium and actually for the first three episodes it is. Because you see what you would expect. You see cocky, mysoginist argumentative Julian Reichelt and his peers creating stories basically because they can or because they don't like what either a politician or scientist has to say.
It answered my only question: Do they know? They don't! They actually believe that they do a job that would be considered good journalism. They really don't see the harm they do for individuals as much as for society.
After 3 or 4 episodes it becomes pure propaganda. In the first 3 episodes you had at least politicians criticizing aspects of what BILD does and at times there were even internal voices not in line with Reichelts regime. But then you get heroic music while BILD is patting themself on the back for several topics that you never actually see in the medium with the big letters. An interesting question would have been why politicians still tolerate this medium.
