The first interview with the German Green politician Annalena Baerbock, who has just been chosen as her party's candidate for chancellor, ends with applause from the moderators. What a mistake!
The media repeatedly choose political heroes (in Germany, for example, Martin Schulz, SPD, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, CDU, etc.) – and then dismantle them. Both are unprofessional, and america rcs data therefore not appropriate, as they usually have little to do with weighing up arguments. And it is a trap. Because journalists who act in this way primarily damage their own professional group. A current variant of choosing heroes is the applause that the ProSieben presenting duo Thilo Mischke and Katrin Bauerfeind gave the candidate for chancellor at the end of the interview in the ProSieben special. That is a journalistic confession of failure. At prime time.
Journalists are repeatedly accused of having a bias in favor of the left and the green. This is often not the case. Even coming from a certain social background does not necessarily mean that you are unprofessional. The basic craft of journalism also includes the ability to maintain (professional) distance. The moderation duo Bauerfeind/Mischke, on the other hand, behaved unprofessionally, reinforced the clichés of many who lump journalism together with the label "left-leaning" and damaged the credibility of professional political journalism.
