Leibniz Magazine<\/a> of the Leibniz Association:<\/p>\n“There is no functioning public service broadcasting, regional quality media are dying out and the national media are either close to the Republicans or the Democrats. As a result, the culture of debate suffers enormously, as people lack the opportunity to critically examine the pros and cons of political ideas. This leads to very polarized debates in which people divide into two camps and are irreconcilably opposed to each other.”<\/p>\n
