Readers about us.
Dear Mr. Langemann,
I would like to thank you very much for your valuable work. Your site is currently my favorite website and I recommend it as often as I can.
Dr. med. Christine Krishnabhakdi
Dear Mr. Langemann, thank you very much for your professionalism!
Since the beginning of CdkW, I have used you and your team as a shield against political-profit disinformation and as a great, tidy reason for hope.
THANK YOU!!!
Nadia Aleksander
Thank you Markus Langemann,
You do what I would expect journalists to do. Thank you.
Hans Romanov
Dear Mr. Langemann,
I have been regularly following, reading and sharing your outstanding journalistic contributions - whether in text, audio or video form - since 2020.
"Club der klaren Worte" has become my favorite and most important source of information.
As a lecturer, I am getting through the crisis (still) reasonably unscathed, at least economically, so it is particularly important to me to support your format, as I value your work and you are a "rock in the media surf" for me.
Your choice of words is always a pleasure for me. Best regards from Berlin
Lil Korfmacher-Finke
Dear Mr. Langemann
You do great journalism.
We had subscribed to the FAZ since 1991 and canceled our subscription at the end of 2021. It had become unbearable. They do authentic and independent journalism!
With best regards

Dear Mr. Langemann,
I would like to thank you very much for your factual, clear, investigative and analytical contributions on the "corona crisis"! In view of the total failure of the so-called "mainstream media" / "traditional media" in terms of objective, neutral and comprehensive reporting, which has been a process for decades, your work and that of your colleagues is invaluable!
Dr. Marion Rosenke
Thank you, thank you. I find it really encouraging to read and see your weekly reports.
Robert Finkel
Dear Mr. Langemann,
On behalf of many others, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your valuable work as an independent journalist and I am happy to support you with my donation! It is so important that we all make our voices heard again and again and bring the truth to light!
Continued good luck

Dear Mr. Langemann,
I follow your YouTube channel and the articles on your site with great interest and respect. Yours sincerely
Michael Stapel
Dear Mr. Langemann!
Thank you very much for your educational work. I am an art historian and am untalented and untrained in political matters. But I am slowly learning to differentiate between how news and information from the media should be evaluated.
Dr. Brigitte Uhde-Stahl
Hello Mr. Langemann,
I am very enthusiastic about your reports and assessments in the media library and have listened to some of your reports several times. The work you do is really great.
Best regards & many thanks for your work!
Daniela Wißen
Hello Mr. Langemann,
Thank you for your very good journalistic work, especially these days! I enjoy listening to your contributions.
Kerst Grießbach
Hello Mr. Langemann,
Thank you very much for your work! You are a real boon in our current media landscape!
Miriam Wolf
Dear Mr. Langemann,
I would like to express my respect and appreciation for your really high-quality work!
Factual, objective and well-researched - this is all too rare in today's media landscape.
I hope that you will be able to continue reporting in this way, as this is unfortunately no longer a matter of course.
Keep up the good work, you have won me as a regular reader...
