The managing director of Correctiv, the self-proclaimed “independent investigative journalism network” that recently ran a disinformation piece against the AfD—falsely accusing the party of planning to deport millions of Germans with migrant backgrounds—met with officials from the federal government on numerous occasions, apparently to “exchange ideas” on what coverage is desirable.
Correctiv’s false reporting—deliberate or not—on what has come to be known as the “Potsdam Meeting” precipitated a wave of anti-AfD demonstrations across Germany and prompted calls for the left-liberal traffic coalition to initiate banning proceedings against the increasingly popular party.
