Description: (German Author and Journalist)
Udo Ulfkotte, a former journalist for the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) from 1986 to 2003, later shifted to writing bestsellers and advocating right-wing populist, Islamophobic, and conspiracy theories. He alleged that journalists, including himself, and major newspapers were under the influence of the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies. Ulfkotte's writings illustrated his conviction that media content was being manipulated by external entities and showcased his support for contentious ideologies.
