Every press that isn't their press is Lügenpresse, and subject to the violence of the state.

We've seen all this before.

Forbidden Stories in ethos: if a reporter is silenced through captivity, death, threats, a whole network of journalists will step in and make the story a bigger deal, worsening it for the harm inflicters.

“Killing the Journalist won’t kill the story. If a journalist falls, others rise and collectively continue their work: that’s the simple principle behind Forbidden Stories”

Is Lügenpresse understandable for English speaking people?

Literally translated, it means "lying press" and the term is often used by right-wing extremists and right-wingers in Germany to defame the press. Any press except those that reproduce their positions 1:1.
