Joop van den Ende who preaches for his own parish in all newspapers: his plea for a stronger NPO returns like a boomerang in his face. And VI also attacks him: “That old boss!”
It is obvious that American media giants such as Facebook and X have far too much power and that it is difficult for small Dutch parties to compete with it. Joop van den Ende is the alarm: he placed full -page advertisements in all newspapers yesterday and argues for many more investments in the national media.
“It’s ridiculous”
Not only does Joop think that the merger of DPG Media and RTL should be approved – and then hope that that will not be taken over by an American party – but he also argues for more money to the public broadcaster. And let the public broadcaster be just one of the biggest customers of his daughter Iris van den Ende’s company.
It is of course preaching for your own parish and that will be Joop dearly. Among other things, he gets the men of today Inside over him. “I think it’s a ridiculous advertisement anyway,” said Johan Derksen in the talk show on SBS 6.
Prince in talk show
Theater and media family Joop overestimates himself grossly, says Johan. “Look, that man was very big in the Netherlands and he always behaved like a prince at a talk show table. He told as it was, no discussion was possible. What is the man talking about? ”
“He was big in the Netherlands and now there are a few in America that are much larger than Joop van den Ende and now he comes with things like this, such as: there has to be more money to the public broadcaster.”
Sun king
Nonsense, says Johan. “We all agree that we do not see the money from the public broadcaster in programs, but we see that in the pocket of all those managers in those intermediate layers. And that Mrs. Leeflang has of course shouted again: “I grabbed my heart!”, Because he can continue to play the sun king in the office. “
Frederique Leeflang is the NPO boss that is now very happy with Joop. Johan: “But I think: what does he get involved with? And then he wants the newspaper group to merge with RTL, but Talpa has already tried that and that has been rejected, because then they become too powerful. Then the pluriformity will soon be gone. What does the old boss interfere with, dude? ”
