Sometimes, the question you should be asking is, "How good can this be?", rather than how bad can it be.

“We at VRT have noticed that the #Eurovision Song Contest as it is currently organised is becoming less and less of a unifying and apolitical event. It is increasingly at odds with the original norms and values of the event and with the norms and values of public broadcasting.”
“VRT works well with the EBU on many levels, but without a serious response to our concerns regarding the Eurovision Song Contest, we are questioning our future participation.”
The list keeps growing. #Norway has joined.
“It is serious if there is doubt that the result of the vote reflects the public’s opinion. We cannot have it that way. We therefore support a thorough review of the voting system to ensure that trust in the competition is maintained.”

Also, the irony is that so many people are calling the new #HarryPotter series "woke"! This new version is supposed to be even more like the books than the original film series, so, closer to J.K. Rowling.
I'm not planning to watch the new #HarryPotter #MAX series. I'm also not saying mean, rude, or disgusting things about the youth starring in it.
The amount of negative comments directed towards these children is disturbing.
Actions speak louder than words in this case; you can choose not to give your time, energy, or money to it without harming others.
Finally getting to see my local team, #Valkyries. They look out of their league in the 1st half against the #Liberty. Liberty aren't even giving their all - taking chance shots, not worried about the rebound - and still easily leading. Valkyries have defense and look connected, but 0 offense. #WNBA
“I hope the competition next year will take place in Vienna—without Israel,” he said Wednesday in an interview with the Spanish news outlet, El Pais. “But the ball is in the European Broadcasting Union’s court. We artists can only raise our voices on the matter. It’s very disappointing that Israel is still taking part in the contest.”
“There should be greater transparency regarding the televoting. This year, everything was very strange about it.”
"I believe that no one was shocked three years ago when Russia was asked to withdraw from international competitions after it invaded Ukraine and not participate, for example, at #Eurovision. Therefore, Israel should not do so either," he said.
Yes, #Spain! Where are the other 4 "big" countries?!
