Kevin Kühnert Returns as Rolling Stone Columnist With Debut Critique of Markus Söder

His bi‑weekly series launches in November, signaling a media comeback following his 2024 exit over health and security fears.

Overview

  • Kühnert will write a recurring column for the German edition of Rolling Stone as a columnist and author confirmed by Mediahouse Berlin.
  • The column, titled “Teilnehmende Beobachtung,” is slated to appear every two weeks with the first piece in the November issue and online at rollingstone.de.
  • Early excerpts show Kühnert warning against “Söder’s Wurstfalle” and labeling the Bavarian leader’s self‑presentation as cheap identity politics.
  • He compares Markus Söder’s public performance to a Large Language Model like ChatGPT and says the projected warmth feels as artificial as film‑studio sets.
  • Bild first published excerpts of the piece, and coverage notes Rolling Stone’s publisher Mediahouse has a 20% Axel Springer stake, underscoring the platform’s media ties.
