At least you won't be the only one who gets "censored".

A sidenote on that event which provides a diverse range of parties a platform: in Germany the two state founded primary TV channels ARD & ZDF whose boards of directors are made up to a good extend of representatives of the two big parties (christ-democrats and the socialists) which are the government now, this debate won't get broadcasted as it usually would with national elections, but only on the "small" (and hardly known) state TV station "Phoenix". However the primary TV stations still broadcast about the socialists and the christ-democratic EU candidates of course. The Germans can be glad, that the Federal Constitutional Court decided in March that the board of directors of those two stations needs to have less political influence.
