The reputation of the Dissatisfied has become in the past few years, getting louder and louder. Angry lies of the press applied to the chant””. Thousands of Contributions were to drop-outs Total, and in extreme cases, even imprisonment. And yet the media, especially the public broadcasters, and so on, as if nothing had happened.
What drives the broadcast critics? You can see in the transmitters huge educational institutions. The world view of the Public is pretty one-sided. Trump and Hungary are always bad, the German environmental aid is always good. It is shown to FCK AfD stickers in a Set from the “Polizeiruf 110” or camera people with left-wing radical T-Shirts in MDR and ZDF. Can this go on?
celebrities from the public broadcasting calling for even more. Georg Restle (“Monitor”) complained that some journalists “only as a neutral observer,” and calls for a stance, a left-wing, of course. This is the Humus, in the Stories, such as the Claas Relotius bloom, which will then be showered with prizes. Facts are free, but rewarded.
The one-sidedness of the public broadcaster is a fact. There is plenty of evidence that these accusations are more than just fantasies resentment-charged angry. Just came out that Robert Habeck Sahra wagenknecht as a favorite guest on the talk shows has replaced. No wonder he can do without Twitter. No wonder, then, that the ARD-acceptance study 2018: 90 percent of the green voters find the ARD good or very good, but only 54 percent of the AfD voters. The latter count less?
The RBB presenter Jörg Thadeusz wrote to his CTR colleague, Restle to: “Who would like to teach, you should give it a try in the quorum of a gymnasium. The Summoner of attitude will definitely find an NGO where you can be loud, morally and generally in the law.“ I have nothing to add.
The RBB in focus
Our Insa-survey in October 2018 and has shown that AfD-voters in Berlin, above average in many regional Newspapers including the daily mirror – consuming and also more likely than average to RBB view, the country policy to inform. A surprising result of.
But When it comes to credibility, then the public service television in the case of AfD sympathisers bottom: 47 percent of all Berlin’s call it trustworthy, when it comes to the work of the political groups in the house of representatives. But only 25 percent of the AfD voters. The Credibility of decline is measurable. And he is alarmingly high.
RBB, ZDF and co. can’t do it any more. You will need to be renewed in head and members. The stations obtain their legitimacy from the promise to report objectively. But claims and reality diverge. You need to revert to the journalistic rules of objectivity.

another point is the money is: The radio is too expensive. 17,50 euros per apartment is not much? But. The comparisons with smaller countries lag behind. Eight billion Euro per year-an enormous sum – equivalent to the Budget for subsidies and the competent Federal Ministry of Economics.
A large part of flows in the meantime, in the pensions. Even now, about three retirees come to four employees at the RBB. Soon the ratio of 1:1 will be. The transmitters are strictly pension Fund operation with an in-store radio. Also, the structure of salaries is to check. The court of auditors, this calls for 2018, in a report to the right. Not only the RBB, but also the other Public need to slim down. There are a lot of redundant channels, radio, for example. This is not a transmitter, but a conglomerate of compulsory fees funded Youtubers, the provocative, under the belt line, sometimes funny come – but never produce anything, what belongs to the basic service.
model of Denmark?
ARD, ZDF, the third, and about 70 radio stations – from Fritz to Nova – to the test. Per the state of one or two radio stations could be left to provide entertainment and Information. The TV stations would have to all be downsized. The resolution of the ZDF is an Option. As a model, the downsize of TV2 from Denmark could be used: The transmitter survived the abolition of the compulsory fee and is thriving even.
The proposals to reform the broadcasting system summarized: A slimmer, objective broadcasting is possible. Essential for a return to the objectivity of the reporting in the sense of Hajo Friedrichs: “A good Journalist makes one, and no thing in common – not even a good one.”
The channel must have no fear of displacement by the Internet. You do not need to extend compulsively in the network. On the contrary, you can reduce their range of products and to quality win.
Finally, The contribution away forced. Until 2012, only figures, who also had a TV. This scheme could be adapted to our time, to the ultimate corrective: The broadcast is encrypted, such as the Danish TV2. Only those who paid the contribution, can also watch. Terminate to many viewers, you need to reconsider the channels you program.
such, reformed radio would be legitimized by the behavior of the viewers, without a notice. It is needed because a network of correspondents for private broadcasters priceless. You will also be victims of place for documentation, or, Phoenix-like, from major press conferences.
The one-sided, ever-expanding radio octopus with Dudelfunk, Rosamunde Pilcher, excessive sports reporting, and radio-gutter journalism of yesterday. All of these things can produce private providers more efficiently.
