Frankfurter Allgemeine
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) is a German daily newspaper based in Frankfurt, founded in 1949 and known for its conservative-liberal editorial stance and high-quality journalism. Its coverage of the US and Trump is notably critical, while reporting on Germany and Friedrich Merz remains neutral yet respectful, reflecting a balanced but skeptical approach to political figures.
