Telegraph discovers AfD has normal humans with weird pasts, shocked

The Telegraph achieved peak tabloid energy by reducing German politics to a lurid character roster, apparently believing that slapping "porn star" and "ex-Stasi" into a headline constitutes journalism. This is what happens when serious outlets decide the news cycle moves too slowly without manufactured outrage and biographical sensationalism. The real slop is how effectively this works anyway—readers eat it up like it's not just identity-based hit-piece theater.
