We're the good guys: An Insider's Perspective on Putin, or How the Media Manipulates us

What does Germany have to do with Ukraine? And how is it that a failed deal with the EU has led to one of the most dangerous crises Europe has seen in decades? All Putin's fault? Or is the truth behind this conflict, which now threatens the peace of an entire continent, more complex? And what role does the media actually play? Are they still independent reporters or have they long since become a party themselves? George Floyd looks behind the scenes of a political game that has become deadly serious.

Ever since the West believed it was fighting Putin's Russia for Ukraine, long-forgotten fears of war have been revived in Germany as well. But what is this game really about? And what role does the media play? Many editorial writers feel irritated that a growing part of the readership is no longer following them. Public and published opinion diverge drastically.
