German Grumble is Germany’s most unapologetically honest news outlet — delivering bold opinions, dramatic overreactions, and uncomfortable truths the mainstream media refuses to grumble about. Staffed by a rotating cast of deeply committed (and emotionally unstable) fictional experts, we tackle the nation's most pressing issues: political absurdity, cultural decline, and why your neighbor definitely voted wrong. Supported by Active Investigators, we go beyond speculation — we draw wild conclusions. If you're tired of facts getting in the way of your feelings, you've found your home.
