NO, CHILDREN, WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT. Namely, European anti-Americanism, which has now become virulent.
WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. THAT WOULD BE RUDE.
But we CAN accuse Americans of being ANTI-GERMAN, simply because some dumb American thinks Der Spiegel is a piece of trash. Why, if that self-same American had DARED to criticise News of the World -- why, he's just some anti-English [not-to-be-mentioned].
Isn't it nice when we all get along so well? :-)
