The word 'moneybags' is meant

I reported this to the weekly newspaper's inquisitor, who replied at 8:23 p.m. that the story was dead. This grotesque incident is not my only recent experience with the "Weltwoche", which has once again sparked a heated debate about the limits of acceptable journalism with its Strehle campaign.
This is also an incident that is impossible to surpass in banality. I was reprimanded for attending a Kloten Flyers game from a box without making a donation to the club. This was particularly singapore rcs data shabby, they said, because I had previously referred to Kloten's rescuers Philippe Gaydoul and Thomas Matter as "moneybags" in a "SonntagsZeitung" column. When I pointed out to Roger Köppel in an email that I had not used this term, which he had put in quotation marks twice, he wrote back: " in the sense thatand the quotation marks are placed accordingly.
But as you know, quotation marks can also be used in such a way that they indicate a meaningful choice of words." I was amazed, because after more than forty years in this profession I had experienced something truly revolutionary, namely that the "Weltwoche" apparently habitually takes the right to fabricate quotations that it has "meaningfully" found in a text. This of course makes the job a lot easier, because it allows you to sharpen stories for which the necessary quotation evidence is missing. "So there can be no talk of a forgery," added Roger Köppel. So I had gained some real knowledge. About particularly hot stories. About the rules of this form of journalism. And the unbearable nonsense that these people spout and bother us with.
