It is evident that the top of Talpa Network, John de Mol’s media company, is actively trying to influence Johan Derksen’s opinion. That says AD journalist Marcus den Blanken.
Johan Derksen continuously records for controversial Talpa colleagues, including Peter Gillis and Johnny de Mol, in his popular TV program Today Inside. For example, he denounces the call to get these gentlemen off the pipe. “Nowadays, if you give your wife a corrective slap, then you have to leave TV,” he grumbles.
Slave SBS Stars
Johan’s credibility when it comes to Talpa-related matters is under such pressure that they have now renamed him ‘John de Mol’s spokesperson’ at Today Inside. A handy way to use self-mockery, but in the meantime Johan’s colored opinions do have an impact.
Many connoisseurs have also noticed that Johan and other SBS 6 stars have tried to discredit Tim Hofman. Last week, the day before his report on John’s involvement in the Voice scandal, Tim was slammed on all current SBS 6 programs. Johan also participated fanatically at that time.
‘Johan is deployed’
Marcus den Blanken, media journalist for the AD, finds it extremely striking. “What bothers me is that before that broadcast by Tim Hofman was shown, all the people at Talpa had already been instructed what was thought of Talpa,” he says in the newspaper. media podcast of the newspaper.
He continues: “Johan Derksen, for example, is a really prominent figure and if he says something… I also saw it after the BOOS broadcast: his opinion just comes along in the form that someone else suddenly thinks so too. Not because they think so, but because Johan Derksen said so.”
Instructions from Talpa
It seems that Johan is being used to influence public opinion, Marcus said. “It is very clear that the top of Talpa is talking to Johan Derksen. I don’t want to say that he is forced to say ‘Say this, say that’, but it is clear that it is always Talpa’s side.”
Colleague Angela de Jong adds: “When a cup of coffee is drunk with ‘director’, his opinion sometimes changes, also about Johnny de Mol. Then he has ‘the real story’.”
Bellboy Bram
Bram Moszkowicz is also such a willing errand boy, according to Angela. “The day before (for Tim’s report, ed.) Shownieuws also played the organ with Bram Moszkowicz. That it would all be wrong, while nothing was known at all.”
She concludes: “There are certain types, such as a Bram Moszkowicz, who like to fit in well with the transmitter and the leadership and then start defending everything very showy. I think you should have sympathy for the victims.”
