ZDF AI Scandal

Germany’s public broadcaster demands whistleblower protection – as long as it doesn’t affect their own network There are moments when institutions expose themselves so thoroughly that all you can do as an observer is sit back in disbelief. Germany’s ZDF just delivered one such moment – a double one, at that.

In the first part of this series, we showed what happened: an employee exposes internal misconduct, and instead of addressing the fake scandal, ZDF hunts down the messenger. Works council member Hubert Krech collected 600 likes with a tirade in which he labeled journalism as treason and called critical media war enemies.
