Requested move

Re: Changes made from Bild-Zeitung to Bild:

The paper's name was changed in the 90s to Bild. On the one hand, to shorten the title, on the other to make clear that it differed from regular newspapers.

Why is the Bild's political allegiance centre-right??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.166.131.37 (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Axel Springer, who had created "BILD" in 1952, met with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in 1958 and allegedly tried to convince him to agree to an immediate reunification of Germany, but Khrushchev turned him down. Springer then vowed to attack the Soviets and anyone he suspected of being sympathetic to them, namely the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the German Communist Party (DKP), etc., with his most powerful manipulation tool - "BILD".

Bild's nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be the British national newspaper The Sun—the second highest selling European tabloid newspaper—with which it shares a degree of rivalry. <- not thrue. The nearest equivalent would e the "weekly world news", in therms of news and in therms of relyabel informations. 91.15.124.111 (talk) 23:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone insert following in the heading "criticism":

Also in the general population, the Bild is notorious for their lurid headlines . There is even an old and very commonly used phrase to the newspaper: "Metzger fiel in den Fleischwolf! Bild sprach zuerst mit der gebratenen Frikadelle!" (Literally: "Butcher fell into a Meat Grinder! Picture spoke first with the fried Burger!") A newer version is: "Mord im Fahrradschlauch!! Bild stoppte den Täter im Ventil!" (Literally: "Homicide in Bicycle Inner Tube !! Picture stopped the Culprit in the Valve!")

My English is not very good. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.22.20.158 (talk) 07:25, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BILD ZEITUNG

Die BILD ist sicher nicht mehr rechtspopulistisch seitdem sie sich für die Merkelsche Asylpolitik stark macht. Die Behauptung sie sei sexistisch ist Blödsinn. Hier werden zwei verschiedene Dinge Erotik(Lebensfreude) und Sexismus(Diskriminierung von Menschen wegen ihres Geschlechts) mal wieder miteinander verwechselt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.98.99.82 (talk) 08:46, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BILD, das mieseste Altpapierblatt für 7,5 Mrd Leser(?)

Mein Vater las dieses Blut-Blatt ab und zu, (bis 1964), wenn er von der Nachtschicht kam. Mit Entsetzen stelle ich fest, dass sowas immer noch existiert.

Statistics Presserat

Maybe in addition to (or even instead of) the case-based critic, I would suggest adding the statistic figures from https://de.statista.com/infografik/2588/publikationen-mit-den-meisten-ruegen-durch-den-deutschen-presserat/ where Bild is far number one since 1986. --Thomas Österheld (talk) 10:57, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Size contradiction

We have:

Lede: Bild is tabloid in style but broadsheet in size.
'History' section: Bild is published in tabloid format.

Which is correct? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:36, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paper comparison

It states that Bild is the best selling European newspaper, but then compares it with the Sun, the second best selling European tabloid newspaper. Both of these comparisons should be using the same measure as either first and second best selling European newspapers or first and second best selling European tabloids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheeFactChecker (talk • contribs) 21:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
