Tom Bohn on His Decision: Why I Will No Longer Work for Public Broadcasters

„Yes. I have decided that I will no longer work for public broadcasters for the foreseeable future, which means, for example, that I will no longer shoot any episodes of ”Tatort." I recently had two requests for public broadcasting productions, both of which I turned down. 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.“

I don't want to take part in any storm that is happening right now." Novak Djokovic
