36:08Now PlayingThe deliberate spread of false information just handed the far right a big win. The vote on a new set of constitutional court judges was postponed. One candidate has been left damaged after being falsely accused of holding extreme views on abortion. We speak to Philipp Sälhoff, the head of 'polisphere' - a think tank that showed how a post by the far-right Alternative for Germany party went on to fuel a campaign of disinformation and how this has become a wake-up call for German policy makers. Michaela asks DW AfD expert Matt Moore to explain how this ties in with a leaked AfD strategy playbook. And we offer an insight into the difference between the manipulation of opinion and legitimate campaigning. How easily can politicians and the public debate be manipulated, even to the point of derailing the election of constitutional court judges?
