Angela de Jong is always very critical about the media attitude of Tom Waes, but isn’t her commentary on Captain Kater a bit far? Gert Verhulst thinks so. “What should he do?”
It is no secret: they are a lot forgiving in Flanders for Tom Waes than with us. When adult man drunk drunk behind the wheel? Then you just lose a lot of respect. And that is something that the presenter has a lot to do with, especially in our country. This way Angela de Jong can no longer look at him normally.
Whine on Tom
Tom stood at some Flemish festival bladder tests at young people last weekend. “I think it’s very good. I always get a bit of the jitters that he himself always emphasizes how good it is that he does this, but …”, Angela de Jong notes in the Renze on Sunday from last night.
She soon adds: “Anyway, that’s how you keep nagging on someone. It’s good that he does this and if he can indeed keep some people out of the car, I think that is pure profit.”
In the breach
There are two Flemish people opposite her: Mediarus Gert Verhulst and his TV aid James Cooke. They jump in the breach for their countryman. James: “He doesn’t say:” It’s good that I do this “? He just says:” Yes, I’m just happy that I can now mean something and that I have made and can do something positive with it. “
Angela Pinnig: “Yes, but then we should almost be happy that he did it because he is doing this now?”
Broken man
Gert mainly feels compassion for Tom. “I still see a bit of a broken man, who still doesn’t know well … who is also struggling with it, from:” If I come out with it, what do people say then: he is abusing it now. Or if I don’t come out with it, they say I don’t want to speak about it. ” It is also very difficult for him. “
Angela: “But” it can happen to everyone “… Of course it is not something that happens to you. It is something that you do.”
Gert: “Yes, that’s true. Bon. But he also admitted that. You can’t turn the clock back of course.”
Never over
Is our country too strict for Tom? Gert thinks so, it seems. The Studio 100-Sostie asks Angela: “Never pass this by in the Netherlands, Angela?”
Angela: “Yes, but I mean: we now get to see this video (from Tom Waes at that festival, see below, ed.) And this noticed me. It was also noticeable in the recent interviews that it was actually a kind of that it is good that he can now use it. I have a little trouble with that.”
Nothing wrong
James seems to be a bit pissed off on Angela. “Had he now as if nothing was wrong? Did he just have to travel Waes again and: we pretend that nothing has happened?”
Angela concludes: “No, but you don’t have to emphasize some things very much, I think.”
