German public broadcasting staffer decries suppression of Covid information: ‘I cannot do it anymore’  ..."Skambraks writes from an idealistic posture, calling on his organization to live up to its ideals as a public broadcaster.

From the beginning, I felt that public service broadcasting should fill precisely this space: promote dialogue between advocates of measures and critics, between people who are afraid of the virus and people who are afraid of losing their basic rights, between vaccination supporters and vaccination sceptics. For the past year and a half, however, the space for discussion has narrowed considerably.

Scientists and experts who were respected and esteemed before Covid, who were given space in public discourse, are suddenly labelled cranks, tinfoil hat wearers or Covidiots. (snip)

Instead of an open exchange of opinions, a “scientific consensus” was proclaimed, that must be defended. Anyone who doubts this and demands a multidimensional perspective on the pandemic, will reap indignation and scorn.

"He uses a German example of suppression of heterodox views:"

As an oft-cited example critical of the Government’s Covid-19 measures were labelled right-wingers. Which editor will still dare to voice similar ideas?...
