Victoria Koblenko constantly pops up in all kinds of television talk shows. Still, she feels some frustration about that. “People really want to ensure that a situation arises at the table.”
She is a regular guest on television talk shows: Victoria Koblenko. Sometimes she has mixed feelings about such a program, because she often has the feeling that the makers are mainly looking for effects. “My great frustration is that all talk shows just really like clickable content want to make,” she says in the program Never sleep again.
Cut pieces
What does Victoria mean by that? “A broadcast is cut into pieces and placed on social media. Quotes are extracted from this and we sometimes see them on social media for days or months. So as the maker of such a talk show you are not only concerned with finding the truth or trying to funnel the complexity of the story.”
They are also out to score, according to Victoria. “We cannot and should not expect young editors in their 20s to know as much about the Ukraine war as they do about the lithium battery conflict in Bolivia as they know about the US elections. Those people just have to fill a talk show with all those topics every day.”
Chairs or benches
Victoria is almost standard when it comes to the war in Ukraine. “There is a card catalog and I am in it, under the heading Ukraine.”
She continues: “I have also regularly felt that because they know that I do not hide my opinion, that sometimes there is also a bit of fishing: oh, if we ask Koblenko, she will soon give the minister a swipe. the pan and then we have clickable content.”
big frustration
Do they ever say that to Victoria? “That will not be confirmed in black-and-white in an e-mail, but people really want to ensure that such a situation arises at the table, because that ensures that it is watched the next day and that your talk show scores better viewing figures. than the competitor. It was really a big frustration.”
During her recent appearance in Renze Klamer’s talk show, Victoria caused some controversy, because she stood up for the protesting farmers there.
