1 4 years it’s been since Klaus Bednarz moderating “Monitor” gave. It feels longer. This is probably because he was still loves a bit of time. Bednarz, who died on Tuesday at the age of 72 years, actually belonged to the ’80s.
Bonn Republic Kohl era. Since he got his two Grimme Awards. There was “Monitor” power factor. If the ARD magazine reported Tuesday night that worms were in the fish remained in Germany on Wednesday the fish shops empty. Inconceivable that a political TV magazine today could have such relevance.
Back in the 80s, had in journalism not the calligrapher the biggest reputation, but the revealer. And when it came to revealing and denouncing, none have come close to “monitor” on television. Each program had an average of nine million people – roughly equivalent to what Thomas Gottschalk with Europe’s last Saturday evening show “Wetten dass ..?” achieved.
His concern was genuine
The enlightened approach, however, was only one reason why it was powered on the broadcast. The other was that you wanted to see either confirmed by Bednarz or get upset about it. Political magazines at that time still had a clear political orientation. Gerhard Lowenthal preached in “ZDF magazine” decades “Marx is Murx”. The produced by WDR “Monitor” in turn was a red rag to All Blacks. Franz Josef Strauss described the mission once called “Red Empire Television Chamber”.
Bednarz fought to the very end of this assignment and led to evidence of abuse by politicians of the SPD and the Greens. And it is also true that he was never a partisan in the sense that he had certain politicians spoke the word, perhaps even from calculating
No, his concern was genuine.. Every time again. A native of Brandenburg, the WDR on Wednesday praised as “indomitable advocate for people and the environment,” was the chronicler German grievances. Monotone and accusing glance he listed the shortcomings of the Republic: environmental sins, discrimination, corruption, abuse of power, exploitation, arms deals. You could in this country despair if you regularly “monitor” looked.
The sweater with the socio-political messages
Sometime in the late ’90s began Bednarz like a relic to act from a previous era. Much in Germany had changed, but he sat still with his unfashionable, heavy rimmed glasses and casual sweater.
Today something would of course not be tolerated on German television, those responsible were immediately conducted a survey at hand that would indicate that this many viewers alone toggle the reverse because of the sweater.
The Bednarz sweater transported several socio-political messages at a time. First, that in the “Monitor” just listed contents and no Pipifax as chic presentation of the studio or even the moderator. Second, that you felt committed to the truth here, which also belonged, that you can not otherwise existed before the camera as behind the camera. And third, that this is a mission of Old 68ers had just who wanted aware settle the suits against the fathers generation. No doubt about it: The Bednarz sweater belongs in the House of History
