Albert Verlinde thinks that Hanneke Groenteman has really embarrassed herself by crying with Sophie Hilbrand. “She thinks Khalid Kasem is a treasure. What a whiner!”
It is inevitable that Sophie Hilbrand and Hanneke Groenteman will be remembered for a long time to come of their shameless crying on national television, because their shady TV buddy Khalid Kasem has been shown the door. It’s a ‘cutie’. A ‘sweetheart’ even. Well, according to these grieving ladies. “He’s just a tall tree…”
Whining hat
Albert Verlinde was watching it on Monday and was scared to death, he says at the table Today Inside. “I really hated it. I think we’ve all talked about Sophie with tears in her eyes, but I also thought Hanneke Groenteman was a bit of a whiner about it. “He’s sweet and a sweetheart.” My, my.”
He continues: “And that no one within such a team – because in the past VARA could really make talk shows, they had the best editors – said: you may find it annoying for a colleague, but if he is found guilty… Someone has to push back. I have now been watching Jeroen Pauw and it is as if the messiah has risen, isn’t it?”
God Almighty
Jeroen is so good that he should not actually want to be associated with Sophie and her program, says Angela de Jong in the AD Media podcast. “God, what a television. What a television. And people still dare to say that this program is good and that it is not a canal belt and that it is not in a very strange bubble.”
She continues: “There is no longer any need for a column about how bad the program is and how it is shaky on all sides and how one-sided it is when you make such an opening. I only thought one thing as I watched: oh, Jeroen, please run! Run while you still can!”
Glorify
Rob Goossens thinks that Hanneke has definitely made a fool of herself in people’s homes, he says RTL Boulevard. “Hanneke Groenteman went so far in glorifying Khalid Kasem. Then as a talk show host you should say: ‘This might be going a bit far.’ And she didn’t.”
Media journalist Mark Koster thinks that Sophie simply does not have those qualities. “We can write off Sophie Hilbrand as a talk show host to be taken seriously. The presenter, who likes to question guests in a ladylike tone, appears unable to put her feelings aside to look purely at a problem,” he sneers. The Telegraph.
