Fake news mentality by the German leadership to explain last minute shocks to the general public.
I think the two shocks that will appear in two weeks for the election will be: (1) AfD rises above the expected 9-percent standing....to roughly 13-percent. (2) that with both the CDU and SPD combined...they barely get 55-percent of the vote (likely lowest combined number since WW II).
I would challenge any German using the phrase ‘Russian meddling’ to explain in precise details what this involves...in a factual way. They can’t do it without making up some bogus story.
Reinbold’s claim here that “the country’s media system provides a protective shield against disinformation campaigns” has to be the most disingenuous claim ever made by a fake news merchant.
