I have thought about it again, that Corona Middle Way conversation of Rogier with Tijs van den Brink (nice guy, easily approachable, top guy) but as a 'journalist' he is unfortunately not worth a penny. He is also not a journalist. He is a tight interviewer, as far as I'm concerned one of the better talking heads, just as van Ranst is a good propagandist and Kuipers is a very useful administrator.
Even an 'interviewer', especially a presenter of one of the most important national talk shows, must still be aware of controversies that are going on in society, and especially if they have an impact such as in this period of crisis. In any case, if Tijs is only the 'talking head', let his editors feel addressed. A journalistic product like a talk show should bring news and interpret it. Well, this news fact, which De Telegraaf, RTL etc. are now showing, has been on the table for more than a year. Op1 has left a huge scoop for a year – and it's not the only scoop that has ended up under the carpet. Why!? Unclear.
Take the data manipulation of covid figures, which deliberately presented the situation as more serious than they were. "We didn't know" is no excuse. Wybren van Haga was accused of 'disinformation' 10 months ago when he mentioned exactly this fact in the House of Representatives. It was open and exposed on the table, blogs were full of it.
Collectively ignored by the old-fashioned media. Tijs claims that the media have no agreements among themselves and he paints a caricature of how it does NOT happen (sitting together and meeting etc.). However, the key persons were contacted by the RIVD or Min. v. VWS at the beginning of the crisis. ("This phone call did not take place, in the national interest")
Tijs, of course, digs his grave when he shows that he has consciously followed the narrative 'because it was better given the situation'. After all, he did the same when fundamental rights went overboard, people were demonized and minorities were excluded. Discriminatory privileges were handed out. Even when there were thousands of unexplained deaths. You can't "not see" that or dismiss it as "battle of the scientists", can you?
Nee, dit heet “FOUT ZIJNâ€, Tijs, niet Ãn de oorlog maar gewoon, vóór de oorlog. Het is de weg erheen.
