Alexander Klöpping once again lashes out at the men of Today Inside. The Blendle founder is annoyed by the NPO’s flirtation with Johan Derksen and his colleagues. “They are grabbing chicks!”
The talk show of Johan Derksen, René van der Gijp and Wilfred Genee has hung by a thread. After the candle story, Today Inside abruptly disappeared from television and SBS 6 dropped the men hard. PowNed boss Dominique Weesie saw his chance and raced to Grolloo, with a mandate from NPO boss Frans Klein.
‘NPO wanted VI stars’
Dominique states that he wanted to get the men of VI to the public broadcaster, but that he only wanted to make an attempt if NPO god Frans Klein would give his blessing. He did, Johan also agrees The Telegraph† “Dominique (…) had been with the great NPO boss Frans Klein the night before to prevent him from being called back.”
The VI star continues: “Small early reflection time and called in the morning: program them in, you have my support. The argument was: those men fill in something that we lack in public broadcasting. (…) Our salary fell sharply, but with a podcast and the images of the program we could earn quite a bit.”
grabbing tokkies
Media journalist Mark Koster thinks it is brave that Frans wanted to bring the gentlemen to the NPO. “Praise for the guts of Frans Klein. The boss of the NPO wanted to program VI at PowNed. Mainly out of viewing opportunism, of course. It would have immediately wiped out the argument that everything is left, woke and correct at NPO, if true,” he tweeted.
Digital celebrity Alexander Klöpping thinks Frans breathed a sigh of relief when the VI trio chose to stay with SBS 6 after all. “Now he has the best of both worlds: the intention is public, and he doesn’t have to deal with those assholes because in the end they are, of course, grabbing hands who don’t go to work for the beaming standard.”
Left and woke
Volkskrant journalist Thomas Hogeling wonders whether the NPO really needs to see that intention displayed. “Is there really no one left who thinks that everything at the NPO is left, woke and correct?”
Alexander: “What remains of conservative-populist media criticism if they can no longer be Calimero? Don’t take that away from them, Thomas.”
Thomas: “I wouldn’t dare. It can’t all be naughty-right enough for me.”
positive price
Mark Koster tells Alexander that Frans really wanted the VI gentlemen. “Klein could have said no, or waited strategically, more his style. He said briskly: just program them.”
Alexander: “I’m not saying that this outcome was his strategy, just that he now has positive PR in the Telegraaf (hoezee) and is not bothered by the endless bullshit that those guys would bring to the NPO.”
Three months ago, Alexander also lashed out at the men of VI. Then he called them evil and racist.
