TV host fired for praising Nazis' motherhood views

Germany's public broadcaster, NDR, fired popular talk show host Eva Herman after she praised the Nazi attitude toward motherhood. At a news conference to launch a book on child-rearing she spoke of Hitler as "a manic and dangerous leader", but added that there were good things under the Nazis, "for example the high regard for the mother". An NDR spokesman said that it deemed her statements to "incompatible to her role as a television presenter and talk show host." (Via Reuters)
