1. Poll....related to the CDU and Chancellor (Merz).
Only 25-percent of Germans think Merz is the right guy to lead the CDU (the others didn't really say who was better).
Two of three folks....think the party will not 'succeed' with Merz as party-boss.
Confidence from a western region prospective....only 27-percent think he can turn things around. From the eastern region....it's less.
So....an odd thing to ponder....the election from 13 months ago was supposed to dismiss the SPD-path and resolve the economic issues....so far....no one is bragging over the path change.
As for who within the CDU could step forward? No one is obvious (even Soder of Bavaria).
2. The German heating law brought to you by the Green Party....hyping up the heat-pump stuff....has been dissolved. So natural gas and oil heat....are back in the offerings.
3. The ZDF (public TV) news-editorial team noted that their guidance is geared toward only producing “worldview-confirmation broadcasts.”
I had to look up the wording/meaning.
So if you were told to produce worldview-confirmation broadcasts.....you make video that only agrees with the majority of viewers. If viewers believe 'A-B-C'....that's what you produce. You would never produce disagreeable material.
My humble thought....if ARD is doing the same thing, why have two public TV network-news teams? I'd even go a step further....couldn't you dismiss half the production-team....letting AI make the agreeable material?
4. Something odd from yesterday. The ZDF Mittagsmagazin (morning show on public TV)....did a week-or-two archive piece about the supposed lack of snow in alpine ski resorts in Germany.
Oddly....about five or six minutes pass....different news item....they now report winter flooding in exactly the same locations.
I'll admit my German isn't great, but looking at the images...brief commentary...yeah...I don't believe the edit-team is paying attention.
