  • The word “disinfornation” came from the press. The authors stated it “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”, adding:

    We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement—just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.

    Politico (owned btw. by german far right Axel Springer LLC, Germanys Fox News) distorted the meaning of the letter:

    There was message distortion. All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation. Politico deliberately distorted what we said. It was clear in paragraph five





  • They’re pretty independent, but maybe not independent enough for some? I mean it’s no issue concerning Deutsche Welle, they are specifically non-independent as an institution of German culture politics. But the public broadcasters have supervisory bodies that are composed by law and contain

    representatives of socially relevant groups, such as political parties, trade unions, social organizations, churches, etc., as defined in the broadcasting laws of the federal states […] whereby the political parties - limited by the courts - do not hold more than one third of the seats.

    This does not take into account how the representatives of the christian churches always vote with the christian parties and vice versa, the atheist representative is also a member of a political party and many social organizations depend in their work on the goodwill of the government.

    Imho. that’s not a problem, politics touches everything so you’ll always find political connections of some kind everywhere. But seeing as our neonazi party is gaining momentum, maybe we should think about further reducing political influence, so it doesn’t fall into their hands in a worst case scenario. Or we could reduce religious influence, following recent waves of Germans leaving their churches.
