Tim Hofman finds it very exaggerated that Angela de Jong has written a whole column about his threat to wait for opinion makers. “Hissed drama for nothing,” says the NPO star.
The 37-year-old Tim Hofman has a podcast in which he examines the media, politics and society in particular. One of the most influential media in our country is of course inside today. The presenter has been trying to speak the big stars of that program for his podcast for a while, but they are not exactly keen on.
“I’m looking for you!”
Tim has now warned that he is going to look up the opinion makers in question if they don’t want to cooperate. “Do not want to visit politicians or opinion makers on our editors, for a good conversation? Then we just look for them (also with an appointment). Our editors sit opposite the studios where many talk shows houses, so that will be fine.”
It shoots at the VI camp, especially in the wrong throat of Thomas van Groningen. He responded in VI: “Then I thought … Yes, I don’t find it intimidating or something, but I can imagine: if we said this the other way around, from:” If those Bnnvara people don’t want to speak to us, we’ll be waiting for them! “
Angela critical
Angela de Jong has one Very critical column Written about this warning from Tim. “Uh, sorry Tim. Are you not sobbing?” We are waiting for them? ” Fact checking is fine, the more the better, but this is intimidation and threat. “
She continues: “You can still mean it so well, want to inform your young audience so well for the elections, but you cannot use this kind of language without risk alone in 2025.”
What does Tim think?
For that, the playing field has become ‘too rough’, said Angela, for example pointing to farmers who visit politicians at home. “If fellow journalists start to serve themselves of this kind of disgusting tactics, the end is lost. Tim should know better. And otherwise BNNVARA does.”
What does Tim think about that? He finds the commotion exaggerated, he says Threads. “All in a panic because we may go and get a quote after a talk show. We already did previous elections with politicians.”
Fight team
According to Tim, there is no threatening situation at all. “Healthy, without a fight team, as is often announced, just as many other programs do this.”
He concludes: “Hissed drama for nothing.”
