  • From Nazi Bunker To Artistic Haven, Der Spiegel

    The redemptive passage of time has left its mark on the five-storey Nazi era concrete bunker in Berlin, now a haven for a private collection of contemporary art. In the 1950s, this Albert Speer-designed structure stored imported fruit from Cuba, writes R Jay Magill, Jr in Der Spiegel, while the 1990s made it the site of sado-masochistic rave parties. Now it houses esoteric contemporaneous art collected by advertising entrepreneur Christian Boros, who, quite candidly states, “I collect art that I don’t understand”.

    Blog: Media Matters

    Media Matters, the blog, observed that the three major American network TV channel —ABC, CBS and NBC — chose to ignore the story broken by The New York Times on hidden ties between media military analysts and Pentagon, but covered at length the Vanity Fair photographs of tween star Miley Cyrus. It also notes that CNN continues the trend of “uncritically airing” John McCain’s false attacks on the Democrats’ health plans, and that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has proposed a government takeover of healthcare.
