Caroline van der Plas denies that she called Avrotros to remove Eva Jinek from the tube. She is therefore not happy with a misleading head above the column of Angela de Jong. “It was fictional.”
There is much bewilderment about the fact that the American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was removed from the tube and how that is welcomed by President Donald Trump. “He immediately mentioned a row of other talk show presenters who may also disappear from him,” writes Angela de Jong in her AD Column.
Impossible
It is impossible, says Angela. “You should imagine that Eva Jinek says something critical about the BBB of Caroline van der Plas and that she has to get off the tube.”
She continues: “Whether Arjen Lubach is joking about Geert Wilders, and then calls to RTL boss Peter van der Vorst that it is time to throw out that guy, and that he also listens to it.”
Misfit
The head above that column from Angela? “Caroline van der Plas Belt: whether Avrotros wants to take Eva Jinek off the tube because she is too critical.”
Huh? Caroline was not happy with this at all, she says Café Kockelmann. “Unfortunately, there was a head in the AD yesterday:” Caroline van der Plas Belt Eva, because she was critical of her. ” That was a fictional example of Angela de Jong it has been restored by the AD, but that did not happen. “
Totally bizarre
Some people thought this was real, says Caroline. “We were addressed, but that is of course totally bizarre.”
Host Sven Kockelmann points out that Caroline wants to determine at the program level what the NPO should and should not spend a budget on. “But it is completely common for politics not to interfere with the content of the programming?”
Talk show table
Not in principle, says Caroline. “A talk show table … You are free to do what you want here. You are a journalist and you are free to critically question me. If I didn’t feel like it or was afraid of it, I would not have been here, so I think that’s sure.”
She concludes: “We sometimes have to look at the objectivity of programs. As a politician you can’t say anything about it,” because then you blame the media, “but we sometimes see things in programs and news broadcasts that I think: how objective is this?”
