Richard Schmitt criticized that ORF referred to the AfD as "far-right" in its morning news at 6:30 AM without explaining or providing evidence. He accused the broadcaster of having a leftist orientation and claimed that everything to the right of Marx is classified as far-right there. Schmitt demanded either neutral reporting or the privatization of the broadcaster.
