Thursday

ARD—sort of a national German “Channel One.” Allgemeine Rundfunk Deutschlands

ZDF—channel Two TV: Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen

DPA—Deutsche Presse Agentur, literally German Press Agency

AFP—Agence France Presse, French version of the DPA.

There are others, of course, but those are the ones I listen to most over here. DPA and AFP are print agencies. They are, sadly, NOT immune to being influenced by American media. The Germans were far more lenient with Trump than the French, who give no one a break, least of all themselves. The Germans have since come around though. Trump’s free rides are a thing of the past.
