After a turbulent few weeks and months, the Lanz editorial team finds the air again clean enough to go in the Boulevard.

Markus Lanz seems to be racism and Coronavirus* past. In the ZDF Talk* Markus Lanz addressed rather to the case of Madeleine McCann. An actor the level of screwed up.

So, you then probably, the return to normality: The Corona-Virus to spread rapidly worldwide, but here the theme seems to first. In the USA the biggest mass protests s eit romp toying the ‘ 60s, and the local President with the bare Despotentum – that’s a quarter of an hour report, but no discussion. And after the Anti-racism has reached a wave in the last two weeks, the talk shows, in the “white German television” and a Lanz-editor with unfortunate remarks have embarrassed, also seems to have this issue out of sight, out of mind.

Markus Lanz (ZDF) turns back to the Boulevard

And so it goes to a competent quarter of an hour USA -the focal point from the ZDF-Washington correspondents Elmar Theveßen directly in the Boulevard, and we must fates finally back to the grisly human Individual other pastures. A half-hour long, the few new developments in the case of the 13 years ago, missing Madeleine McCann are rolled be explained – but, above all, long and wide, once again the Details of that time.

This is the broadcast of a shame really none of the embarrassment: trailing scenes of shocked and weeping parents, super-dramatic string music for maximum emotional effect. And in between Markus Lanz of the fall of the “star”journalist Cornelia Fuchs constantly to the word, as if he were the head of a tabloid-training, the roars always in between, the manipulative, the most adjectives: The young face of the child? “Doll detention!”, crows Lanz. “Angel!” And always for the audience to talk to! “If you look deep inside yourself, you notice what Narrative you’re willing to believe”, trills Lanz. Societal knowledge value or journalistic relevance? Zero.

Markus Lanz (ZDF) on the Boulevard-Trip in the case

This Boulevard is so absurdly high that it is even of one’s own narrative in the way: a video recording of the parents, to prove how detached and cold, this then appeared, with the same Streicherpampe background – Yes, are we supposed to feel now or not?! After Lanz has contributed nearly a half-hour formulation help and emotional exclamations fired, grunts, he finally satisfied: “That was very moving!” And then: “We’re talking now really about fish.”

Also on the agenda during the Markus Lanz show (ZDF): mass animal husbandry

Who would have thought that of all the actors Hannes Jaenicke maintains the journalistic integrity of a nightly talk show high? But one evening, at the Markus Lanz to mere reaction between the caller will be demoted, holds Jaenicke a surprisingly quiet, competent, and above all, human-to-follow lecture on his discoveries at the filming of a documentary about the environmentally disastrous salmon-mass attitude.

In a mission that is facilitated after all the weeks important Information-giving is visually, to be able to finally get back into the darkest Boulevard-Deep dive, in the middle of the divers images from the bottom of the Norwegian fjords, the saving journalistic Fig leaf. The appetite was gone one before, but after all, the knowledge was thirst here, a little appeased.
