live broadcast, broadcast offline, broadcast live: The WDR has again drawn conclusions from the debate on an issue of Talk series “Hart aber fair” by Moderator frank plasberg. After heavy criticism of the transmitters presented now the show “Down with the Ampelmännchen” dated March 2, back to the library.
Previously, the WDR had the mission after protests from women’s organizations in late August remote – almost half a year after the first broadcast. “The violent reactions show in retrospect, that the decision was not right”, WDR television director Jörg Schönborn said, according to a release of transmitter. Even the television editor in chief Sonia Mikich called the deletion of the 75-minute contribution therefore a mistake.
WDR has censorship accusations
The accusation of censorship or self-censorship was however “completely inappropriate”, Schönborn said. But even if the appearance arises, the independence of the WDR was impaired, “charged that our work”. Therefore, he decided to put the mission back in the library and on the website of the program
Under the title. “Down with the Ampelmännchen – Germany in equality delusion” had discussed in the show from March 2, 2015, inter alia, actress Sophia Thomalla and FDP politician Wolfgang Kubicki about equality. Not always it was about to factual. So said FDP Vice Kubicki example to Green Party leader Anton Hofreiter: “You see already gender moderately from.”
At the WDR Broadcasting Council were received program complaints of several women’s associations who complained about the broadcast. Among other Plasberg was accused in having made gender studies and gender equality policies ridiculous. He is said to have mocked among others the fact that there are 190 professors for Gender Studies in Germany, of which 180 are female. The program complaint was rejected by the WDR Broadcasting Council, however, because the mission had violated no law.
