Please stop spreading misinformation. The Federal Constitutional Court decided in 2014 that no more than a third of the members of each Rundfunkrat can be chosen by the state or by parties. Also, not all party representatives are representatives of a governing party. The ZDF Fernsehrat has representatives of each party present in the Bundestag. Two thirds belong to other groups such as churches and unions. For the state-level Rundfunkrats, the federal government is obviously irrelevant.
Name one Intendant (head of broadcaster) who is not member of a ruling party.
I don't take orders from you. But there are a few.
