DISINFO: German media are subordinated to Washington and disregard German national interests

SUMMARY

Germany is in a difficult situation. The active anti-Russian position of the leading German media is clearly contrary to the state-politics. Berlin not only promotes and defends joint projects with Moscow, but also consistently gets rid of semi-occupational dependence of the US. German mainstream media are subordinated to Washington and disregard German national interests

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about German-American relations. Pro-Kremlin outlets often use the misinforming narrative about different countries being under the American thumb. Germany is an independent and sovereign country and its media is not dependent on the United States of America in terms of publishing and media production, therefore it is a conspiracy theory presented without any evidence. Germany and the US have close partner relations of two sovereign and independent countries. For other disinformation cases see: Germany is a vassal of the US; Germany is the executor of US hegemony over Europe; The USA is controlling Europe through occupied Germany; Germany will have to choose between defending Europe's interest and catering to Washington.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform.
