05/30/2008: "Ethiopian to replace German news presenter Eva Hermann who was sacked for non PC speech"
An Ethiopian-born migrant has replaced popular news presenter Eva Hermann on the German television network NDR, following her firing over Politically Incorrect remarks she made last September.
The new host is Yared Dibaba, who hails from the Oromo tribe of the impoverished African country's southwest corner.
Dibaba, 38, came to Germany with his family in 1979, where he grew up and attended school. He went on to pursue an acting career before being "discovered" by the latter-day
German media. He is not expected to be Politically Incorrect like his predecessor.
Hermann had praised the family model promoted by the National Socialists and compared it with its collapse following the Second World War.
[ His appointment should offend more Germans than anything Hermann has said. ]
