I don't know how it is in Germany.

Very similar. One of our biggest news-outlets has as a binding rule for their journalists that they "have to honor the transatlantic partnership" which means that they are explicitly censoring any criticism towards the US gov.

I think @lennstar once posted about a case where people were forbidden to film public speeches of politicians in their local parlament. The fine for breaking that new law was set to 250.000€.

Our media narrative about Trump is an exact translation of the things the US media puts out behind him.

The term Lügenpresse (Fake News) has been deemed Nazi-Slang.

So yeah, it is not looking much better in Germany.
