You'd think an administration that received a record number of votes wouldn't have any trouble filling empty positions?

I guess they'll have to form a legion of illegals next. That's gonna go over well. Maybe it will be a Cinco de Mayo announcement!

Every time I want to watch something on Paramount+ I have to sit through a commercial for some drag queen show. Anyone who think recruiting tranny drag queens for the US Navy is a good thing had lost their mind. Yeah, what's next? Sex offenders?

Vote with your wallet - cancel the account. Different to us Germans you Americans still have the choice what TV you pay for - and what not. Over here, I want to say No to ARD and ZDF - and they do not let me.

Do TV's in Europe not have a channel selector or power switch? (asking for a friend)

We must pay for ARD and ZDF no matter whether we watch it or not,like it or not. We even must pay if we lack any techncial gadget able to receive their program. Its a de facto tax.

That way ARD and ZDF can do whatever they want, can do much or little, can do good or bad, it does not matter, they are outside any economic competiton since they get their wanted money anyway, by state-sponsored blackmailing.

If Paramount+ (or any other pay TV) account membership gets canceled, they also get no money anymore. If enough people cancel it, they will need to ask themselves question on whether what they do really is so popular with their targetted customers.

Our ARD and ZDF are extremely woke and left and brainwashing and are very close to the govenrment and the political parties. In principle they are servants of the state and most parties, tame court reporting maybe describes it well, and it is highly biased. Resulting from 50+ years of left ideology ursurping public education, media, and journalism. ARD also has a serious corruption problem. And we must pay for this, we cannot not pay for it, we have no say in it. Our consumption behaviour plays no role, we can boycott the program and still must pay.
