What it claims

German public media outlets such as Deutschlandfunk and SWR are portrayed as tools of ideological censorship that hide the truth about Islamism and impose multiculturalism. Channels promote alternative networks as the only source of “unfiltered truth,” seeking to undermine trust in democratic institutions.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

  • State media are trying to convince Germans that Islamist terror and the right-wing threat are the same thing, just to make the right-wing the “scapegoats” again.

  • The SWR format “Migratöchter” promotes Islamization by demanding more women in hijabs on screen and censoring scenes where women reject the headscarf.

We link archived copies rather than the posts themselves, so that checking our work sends no traffic to the source. Where a platform cannot be archived, we print the post's address instead of linking it.

Goal

To discredit German journalism and reorient the audience toward pro-Russian information networks, deepening social divisions.

Techniques used

  • Name Calling or LabelingUse of emotionally charged terms such as “main scapegoat” to describe the coverage of right-wing movements.
  • DoubtQuestioning professional media terminology (e.g., the word “presumably”) to create the impression of deliberate concealment of facts.

The real grievance it exploits

The manipulation relies on genuine dissatisfaction among a segment of society regarding the editorial policies of public broadcasters and a feeling that certain conservative views are ignored in mainstream media.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Notice how channels first discredit verified media and then immediately offer their own “unfiltered” networks. This is a classic tactic of creating an information bubble where fact-checking standards are absent.
