The Problem In Lacking Skepticism

 Wolfgang Herles wrote a commentary piece for Focus (here)....which goes to the topic of ZDF's (public TV) anti-Trump discussion.

Emphasis?  Well....the suggested political bias of the ZDF editorial staff.  Rather than insert some necessary skepticism towards unreliable sources...they seem to disregard the skepticism.

If you watch commercial German news....like Sat-1, N-TV, or N-24....the layer of use for unreliable sources/video....is a lot less.  It's been this way since 2016.

I would offer the commentary....some viewers of the nightly ZDF news...probably are affected by events in the past week.  At the very least....if a anti-Trump piece pops up....they might mute the piece until they move onto the next news item.
