Emma Wortelboer and Wilfred Genee have made a live minced meat on the radio from a blurry Rob Goossens, who suddenly claims that he was not censored by RTL Boulevard. “That is true!”
The image of RTL Boulevard was under a lot of pressure years ago when their cheating colleague Humberto Tan was kept very flashly over his head. The makers promised improvement, but recently it went wrong again: now that Linda de Mol returns to RTL, a critical remark about her is cut out of the program immediately.
Linda-Kniprel
During a confession, Rob Goossens shouted about his cheating that Linda must answer for ‘the fact that she apparently had known for some time that he (her sweetheart Jeroen Rietbergen, ed.) Had misbehaved behind the scenes at The Voice’. Nothing was lying about that because Jeroen said this himself in the media, Johan Derksen also agrees. “That’s how it was?!”
The niece of Albert Verlinde, Jorien van der Plas, is the boss of Boulevard and decided to censor Rob’s remark and, to the astonishment of critics such as Angela de Jong and Catherine Keyl, they have never been seriously responsible for that. Media cakes Victor Vlam suggested that that niece should just stand on the desk to say sorry.
Through the mouth
Rob always wants to know the seam of the stocking, but he is silent on this subject like the grave: heavily disappointing. And Wilfred Genee is now picking him up in his radio show The Friday Move. “How is that now? Has it been a bit solved among them? I assume you have had a fight there, right?”
“Well, not a fighting fight. It was a tough period, yes,” said Rob, who suddenly trivializes his boss’s censorship. “They thought at Boulevard: we get that piece out, because for the story it is totally irrelevant and sometimes a very small particle is taken from a broadcast.”
“Does Jorien do that?”
Huh? There is more often censorship at Boulevard? What kind of strange is that? Wilfred: “Jorien van der Plas decided that ultimately?”
Rob then very hypocritical: “I don’t know who decided that.”
Wilfred: “What kind of nonsense is that, Rob? You know who has decided that? What nonsense all again!”
Rob: “Well, at Boulevard I finally have contact with my editor -in -chief about really important things. Of course I spoke to her about this, but she is not accountable to me about how exactly the distribution of the episode is dealt with.”
Hand over the head
In other words: Rob keeps the niece of Albert’s hand over the head. Wilfred: “Who has decided it? I only ask you.”
Rob: “I don’t think that’s that relevant.”
Wilfred: “Boulevard talks about everything and they can’t talk about this?”
Rob: “Yes, but why do you want to know about me? I’m not about it.”
Wilfred finds this censorship issue relevant: “When it comes to Linda de Mol, the power of the De Mol family and of course also the interests that play there, then it is slightly different. You know that as well as I do.”
“Do you still want?”
Wilfred does not understand that Rob agrees with censorship at Boulevard. “In your role I would wonder if I would still like to work there when you are being dealt with like that. Then you can also say: I don’t pick that. Why did you continue?”
Rob: “Because the basic question is: do you feel censored? Are you censored?”
Wilfred: “Do you feel censored, Rob?”
Rob: “No.”
Wilfred: “But you are censored.”
Rob: “No.”
Freelancer
Hilarious: Rob is now trying to talk the censorship well for himself. Wilfred thinks it’s a money issue. “Is it also that you say that you are not censored because you are a freelancer and thought about yourself: ho, wait a while, otherwise I will no longer have any income later!
Rob: “No, if I didn’t enjoy working with pleasure anywhere, I would sell everything in the Netherlands and leave them behind and sit on a mountain in Italy.”
Wilfred: “You have principles and mortgages. In this case, the mortgage was more important?”
Uncensored
No, Rob believes. He maintains that he has not been censored. Really: how quickly do you want to lose your credibility? “No. In this case I just didn’t be censored. That would mean that there would be structural action when I say this about Linda de Mol if I say something about Linda or the De Mol family at all, and that is not the case.”
And why does Rob now censor himself, since he does not want to designate Jorien as a culprit? “You know, but you just don’t want to say it?” Wilfred says.
Rob: “Yes, you’re right.”
Ah, a little earlier he said, “I don’t know who decided that.”
What a weak bite.
‘Why not?’
Rob then confesses that he just holds a hand above someone’s head. Why does he do that? “Uh, good question. Yes, then I’m going to talk about people who have been in good and bad times for me and whatever I would say here … It might also be … I will be a huge politician now.”
He continues: “This is something that touches people close to me in such a way that it feels more like private than as business. I really want to talk about other things around Boulevard.”
Wilfred: “Is Jorien so close to you then?”
Rob: “You now mention one specific name that I am not going into.”
“Literally happened!”
Wilfred is quite disappointed in Rob and his absent journalistic principles. “It’s your job, you know, so that mortgage was decisive in the end.”
Rob: “In the end: I will never work for an employer who censors me.”
Wilfred: “But that happened.”
Then Medegast Emma Wortelboer also starts to interfere: “Yes, that literally happened.”
Rob: “No, that didn’t happen.”
Stupid cut
How does Rob call it? A ‘stupid cut’. “A very stupid cut has been made, but it has not been censorship, because it was not about the content.”
Wilfred: “What was it all about?”
Rob: “Around and rebuttal.”
Wilfred: “Okay. This will be well-notes.”
Rob: “I am also a journalist myself. I also think it is important that …”
Emma: “But you are not journalism there at Boulevard?”
Wilfred: “Would I just say. That is a very good comment, Emma. What does that have to do with journalism, indeed?”
Cocks like Brugman
That Rob is dicking like Brugman, but it doesn’t come out. “Well, everything in this case, because Linda had responded to it and I didn’t include that in that story. Yes, so the basis is that I made a mistake and that it was cut out of the broadcast.”
Wilfred finds Rob a wet wind: “Then you say the next day:” I made a mistake, “but then you don’t cut it out? I mean. Yes, but you know … Whatever. “
Hypocritical
After the commercial block, when Emma is gone again, Wilfred notes: “I caught a short piece of conversation from you and Emma Erna. He saw you, he thought you were a talent, only she found you somewhat hypocritical every now and then, so you just had to just stay just to the point.”
Rob: “Now use Emma Wortelboer to mask what you think.”
Wilfred: “I just said that. I don’t understand why you just don’t just say how things just went. Anyway, we talked about that extensively.”
Battery
Then Frans Bauer joins. “How are we going to destroy it?” Wilfred jokes.
Frans: “I don’t know if that can be worse. You have to see what he looks like, our Rob.”
Wilfred: “This is the second hour of The Friday Move. Nothing has been censored yet and that will not happen until the clock of half past six!”
No, censoring does indeed happen after half past six, when RTL Boulevard starts. And Rob thinks it’s fine, as long as the invoices are satisfied …
