Editor of major German newspaper says he planted stories for CIA

101. of course you didn't

and reading your reply I have to wonder if you even read what I said.

It is not 'some' german committee which found that the major German news channel ARD, watched by 25 percent of Germans, was biased against Russia in its reporting. It is THE official ARD oversight committee which made this finding.

Instead of reading what I wrote, you make some bizarre allegations, like I was 'claiming' this or that when everybody who actually can read can see that I didn't.

No, even if you don't want to see it, the media bias is being discussed openly now and Ulfkotte, whatever his motives, contributed to this discussion. Some of what he now admits is what others have accused him of some twenty years ago, so it's not actually news. But it's nice to see someone like him admitting he was bribed and pressured to toe the line, just like many of his colleagues in the 'leading' media. And if someone from the valley of the clueless is asking now 'has any journalist ever admitted that he was fed information by intelligence services' we can point to him and say yes, someone did. He even wrote a bestseller about it.

But, guess what, they only mention his book on independent blogs and the odd radio program, and no major publishing house would touch it ...
