But who has granted Western journalists their power, for how long a time, and with what prerogatives?" Alexander Solschenizyn

Those who are rich are free. That's not from Karl Marx, but from Paul Sethe. Since journalists are not rich, they are not free either."" Paul Sethe

Because I don't want anything to do with the way they handled their reporting during the coronavirus pandemic. The one-sidedness and obvious government loyalty of ARD and ZDF leave me speechless."
