Funny that you tie that to the skin color of the people. Most people including me make the distinction based on the following criteria:
- Does the government have direct control over the broadcast?
- Is the channel allowed to criticize the government?
- Is founding decided by the government?
- Are you at risk for not having the same stance on a topic than the government?
In the case of Germany, all of these are not true. In the case of authoritarian regimes, they are. That is the key difference.
Yeah, true. I have observed that too in the last few years. If you see someone saying we should not support Ukraine there is a 50/50 chance they are far-left or far-right. Pretty impossible to tell in most cases.
