"Madam President, Commissioner, perhaps I can make my point by using some very personal examples. I have experience of the media from two perspectives: the first was as a professional journalist, a foreign correspondent for
magazine, and the second is as a non-attached MEP. In these roles, I have experienced two completely different worlds: one viewed from the outside was comparatively independent, the other, now I am involved in politics, is with huge amazement.
I can prove to you that political reporting in the public media in Germany and Austria is, to a very large extent, controlled by just a few people. For the same ideas that I was at first allowed to support, I was asked to leave the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) as a result of political pressure exerted, for example, on Reinhold Beckmann or Elmar Oberhauser. Where freedom of expression is concerned, we have a much greater problem to deal with than many of us realise. I would ask you also to take a look at the allegedly independent public media, which – when it comes to political matters – is dominated in an extremely one-sided fashion by the two main parties."@en1
