Well, the heute-show, Böhmermann and co are very left-populist hate and agitation shows, they have nothing to do with satire and criticism anymore. They would most like to cancel Dieter Nuhr because he is the only one who does cabaret at the expense of the Greens.
So there is nothing balanced about it. And people just inform themselves less with these offers but rather in the news and magazines. That is also the problem. You can also see here, many still believe what is broadcast there.
I do not find it reprehensible to watch it now and then, I do it too to see what is being told to people there. The problem is that viewers of such offers use it as their only source and then form an opinion. Everything that is not shown there is a "conspiracy theory". This is then fueled by the usual "fact checkers" and institutes. A very sick system.
Freedom of opinion is a very high good, but it does not work with propaganda. We have experienced that enough in the last 3 years. Crazy.
Therefore encrypt public broadcasting and everyone can pay for it if desired.
