Susanne wrote that the performance of D66 member Heera Dijk had been mentioned in De Telegraaf, in an article titled 'Amateurism strikes in the House of Representatives'. According to Susanne, the clip had not been noticed by a journalist, but became known after she downloaded it and it was subsequently shared widely. According to her, it was recorded during the second round of a budget debate, at a late time when hardly anyone was watching. Susanne argued that the press had been too focused on protecting the current coalition. If the same had happened under the Schoof cabinet, talk shows would have covered it extensively, in her opinion. She wrote that the Jetten cabinet displayed even more amateurism, but that the established press failed to adequately cover this. Susanne called for another article about what she referred to as amateurism in parliamentary journalism. #Journalistiek #amateurisme #KabinetJetten #Journalistiek #amateurisme #TweedeKamer (translated)

Michael van der Galien wrote that, according to him, talk shows had become public pillories for people who deviated from the prevailing opinion. He stated that Douwe Filz had made a remark about the war in Ukraine, after which the other guests at the table had turned against him. What RTL called a debate, Van der Galien described as a tribunal with commercial breaks. https://t.co/iK8dCnp7Vz #Talkshows #Oekraïne #Debat (translated)

GFrei.News referred to democracy as a facade for corruption and criticized that citizens could only vote for the Bundestag every four years and for state parliaments every five years. Regardless of the election results, parties declared themselves winners and claimed a mandate to govern, the author wrote. Subsequently, they would use parliamentary procedures and loopholes to gain power and circumvent the will of the voters. GFrei.News accused politicians from established parties of profiting from high salaries, expensive hotels, chauffeurs, and private flights after taking office, and leading a taxpayer-funded life like super-rich individuals. The author also mentioned secure pensions after just a few years in office, appearances on talk shows and company visits, as well as a lack of attention in parliamentary debates. Laws would be passed behind closed doors with a government majority; committees and debates were merely a stage act for the cameras, GFrei.News claimed. The political leadership had made the state prey and was failing its mandate to the populace, the author wrote. He called for a shift to direct democracy, where citizens could stop harmful laws and remove politicians before the end of their terms. Finally, GFrei.News criticized that leaving out a tie with a suit was careless. https://t.co/FDN07LHPIX #Demokratie #Politik #Korruption (translated)

Chris Kramer wrote that activist Tom van ’t Einde reacted strongly when Douwe Filz nuanced the situation regarding the war in Ukraine. A defense guest reportedly said that during wartime, one should not look at things from two sides. Kramer referred to this as the level of the Dutch debate and talk shows, where, according to him, a table with a visibly irritated host reacted negatively when someone wanted to discuss multiple perspectives. He stated that the underlying message was to remain silent and follow the government. #Oorlog #Oekraïne #Debat (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that he had finished an article with a headline that referred to Fratzscher as a top economist. In his view, the fact that Fratzscher continues to appear on talk shows while former finance senator and Bundesbanker Sarrazin does not represents a good summary of the German media landscape. #Medien #Wirtschaft #Politik (translated)

Weird Duk wrote that, according to him, all talk shows of NPO and RTL that evening would claim that asylum migration was not a decisive factor in the housing crisis, which forced adult children to live in the attic. Those who claimed otherwise would, according to him, be labeled as extreme right and should be placed under the supervision of the authorities. #asielmigratie #woningnood #politiek (translated)

The debate on the matter is too exhausting for many. The SPD politician and former state minister Michael Roth strikes a thoughtful and critical note on the news service X: "The debate on the matter is too exhausting for many. However, we must and can criticize politicians, including Bärbel Bas. But please, based on the issue. A politician can also fall ill, grieve, take time, but should not face mockery and hate. Do you really want that in the end, only the cynical and thick-skinned remain? Those who need the steel storm on X and in talk shows like the air they breathe? I have my doubts that this will make politics better." #BärbelBas #Rücktritt #SPD (translated)

The author wondered whether this would spill over to the Netherlands. #Frankrijk #België #islam (translated)

The critics of the savings book enemies stated that those who had used the dismissed Bundestag to push through the largest new debt in post-war history in Parliament should not constantly refer to themselves as a democratic party in talk shows.
