Certainly, by comparison to reportage in France and Italy, West Germany's coverage is more factual, if not always sufficiently careful or thorough; it is also less polemic, and less acutely polarized between journals of highbrow analysis and sensational gutter tabloids.

And even the historians performed poorly; the volumes contained numerous factual errors that should have been sufficient proof that the diaries were fakes...
...expected his Harvard Nuclear Study Group to stop there, having provided an objective report--a handbook on nuclear issues. It would have been as he describes it in his foreword, an analog to The Harvard Health Letter, a purely factual Medical School publication. But the debate over nuclear weapons is not like the debate over cholesterol: It cannot be decided empirically or discussed in a moral vacuum. So Derek Bok much more...
