I'm paying for news. It's mandatory to do it in Germany and I'm really grateful for that. Especially in times like we live in today. It's a great basis for my daily and necessary dose of news. All those extras like good documentaries on media portals are bonus and only hindered by the private media restricting unlimited availability of those materials.

Everything beyond that has pretty much grown into either a quite expansive special I don't see a justification to pay for, things that everybody else already has and therefore is free or sources that does not offer a way to make a single time donation I'd love to do to reward a good or interesting article.

I'll not subscribe.

You are paying for bad news. The quality of the forced state TV in Germany is not great.

No analysis, just giving politicians a platform for their uninformed propaganda. The main objective is to program the population to keep working without complaining. Bread and circuses.

If you want facts or background, get the Financial Times.

Oh look at you ant those lines you gathered at the bottom of German society. Just admit it: you hate them because they report on people like you and you don't like to see your face in the mirror.
