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.

Off topic
Sounds like our own tv-channels here in Denmark and Sweden.
