Mayor Ben Schierer on Der Speigel Journo’s Fabrications: His Narrative Didn’t Fit with Our Community So He Made It Up

‘Again, I think it was to support a narrative in his mind and many people’s minds that rural communities are backwards, they are dying’

EXCERPT:

SCHIERER: "Well, I guess he came to the United States from Germany and he had a narrative in his mind that he was going to write a story about a rural community. He got to our community. That narrative certainly didn’t fit what he had in his mind so he, I guess, decided to make it up."
