So… That was quite a surprise, here’s the link to the statistics: Link

188 fatalities out of nearly 24k accidents don’t qualify as ‘most cases end deadly’. I don’t want to speculate as to how someone can misread a statistic that significantly while writing an article for a public service news site. But the damage of such false narratives is considerable.

      As an uneducated Eastern European, what is the difference? Honest question, I come from a political culture where what TASS is doing is normal.

        I see at least two criteria:

        • financing,
        • board.

        According to the Wikipedia article about the ZDF:

        • Financing:

          • financed by a license fee
          • receives income from sponsorships, programming and advertising sales

        • Board:

          • Director general - technically independent
          • Supervising board - includes 5 representatives of the federal states, 1 of the federal republic of Germany
          • Television board - includes 16 representatives of the states of Germany, 2 of the federal republic of Germany, 6 members nominated by the federal states

        So, it’s dependent on the government. Means politics could have influence on programmes.
