Mark Rutte dominated world news. With that sense, the broadcast of RTL Boulevardso then you know it’s right. When RTL Boulevard With politics, you also know that something is not going well in the world; That the balance of things is at least a bit disturbed. But the attentive TV viewer had known that for a while. He looks at the Murw and mumbles against her cat: they go with RTL Boulevard now also interpret politics. Shall we give it a chance?
My cat rarely mumbles something back, and under the credo ‘silence is consent’ I gave that chance. Moreover, an important aspect of current TV reality is that with a program like RTL Boulevard The same America correspondent is also sitting who also regularly appears at the Leaftalk shows of RTL 4 and at various talk shows from WNL: Michiel Vos. In terms of tone it all escapes each other less and less – politics is also treated as a form of showbiz. In this way it was logical that the conversation about Ruttes world news dominance was continued in RTL Boulevard.
The reason was still Ruttes astonishing charm offensive at Donald Trump, in which his ‘Daddy’ statement in particular turned out to be much. It inspired the White House to post a video clip entitled ‘Daddy’s Home’, in which Trumps returned home in the US while the song ‘Hey Daddy’ sounded in the background. Daddy had embraced and exploited his new pet name; The world watched en masse with the usual mix of horror and curiosity.
“Well you said in advance: in the US we are not at all concerned with that NATO summit,” said presenter Vivienne van den Assem. On the scenes behind her, pink collages could be seen by Rutte and Trump, with hearts and smiling mouths around them. “And now I have seen the idea you see everywhere: Oh, we had such an important meeting …” “So I was full of it wrong,” Vos said. “Everyone is busy now, because of daddy-only because of daddy-with the NATO summit.” Our Mark had done that nicely. In addition: Anyone who wants to do business with Trump can better lubricate the syrup, Vos had explained the day earlier at Humberto (RTL 4). “Everyone becomes a bit of an ass kisser, otherwise you won’t get anything done with this man.”
You hear that lecture more often in recent days. Initially I thought very in principle: even if you are afraid you can still want to be enough on the right side of history to decide not to give kisses to dangerous manbabies, who, by the way, a few hours after that shed rain can be short of so much attention that their moods turn radically. But now, just before my extra long summer break, I think: maybe I should give that strategy a chance, and within my own field. It is my dream to be able to write something positive about talk shows on your return. And since principles have brought me little concrete for the time being, I can just as well throw it over a different approach in this last column.
No peaks without troughs
So hello, dear, handsome, strong WNL-Daddy Kees Berghuis! I have completely resigned myself that your broadcaster is now making four talk shows and I find them all so cozy. The only thing that worries me is that if it is always a party, you can ultimately no longer enjoy it. No peaks without falling, do you understand? So from that great love for right -wing fun, I would like to propose to reduce the broadcasting time for WNL and give space to a different sound. Only so that Sven and Rick come out even better, of course.
And hello, beautiful, smart, great Talpa-Daddy John de Mol! Who is a handsome boy? You! Yes, you! And what a lot of handsome boys collected in your talk shows, Dad John. Where do you get them all from? All those omniscient Wierds and Victors and Raymonds? And what will I miss them, the next three months: Wilfred and Johan and the third of whom I always have to visit the name, but which I nevertheless have very high. He has such interesting thoughts about which female Dutch celebrities are probably good at oral sex, and speaks so glowing about it. The only thing I worry about is that the interesting thoughts of all these Daddy’s do not get enough room in one -hour talk shows. Is it perhaps an idea that they all save those thoughts for a beautiful, thick book, in which they come into their own much better? Then it is a bit quieter on TV in the short term, but in the long term we all enjoy it much more.
Just think about it, dear daddy’s. I will see in October if something has ended up. Kisses!
