Leading journalists are currently being used to serve the economic interests of their publishers, and this is a not insignificant collateral damage from the No-Billag debate. In many cases, this is done in a subtle way. Others are using a sledgehammer approach. For example, Ringier declared a national state of emergency after the Tagi-Goldbach deal. Not only the eternal arch-enemy Tamedia is being insulted, but also the Chairman of the Board of Directors Pietro Supino himself. He is accused of wanting to destroy the SRG for purely economic reasons and in a treasonous manner.
First it was an anonymous shot directly from usa rcs data the corporate floor in the SoBli. Then Ringier consigliere Frank A. Meyer warned in the same newspaper - as always under his yawningly boring Brandenburg Gate photo - of the looming danger from Germany. From his Berlin perch, he is throwing himself into the battle against the evil foreigners on behalf of his bosses because Marc Walder's favorite project Admeira is becoming more and more of a stumbling block. This is evident from statements by the new SRG General Director Gilles Marchand, who is desperately looking for a quick exit from Admeira. Goldbach/Tamedia is "selling away" the advertising of German TV stations that broadcast "shallow foreign fidgety TV," Meyer announced. To convince yourself of this, "you should just switch to RTL and the like for an evening."
I rub my eyes. Ringier had a stake in Sat.1 Switzerland for years and broadcasts its own programs there, such as "Landliebe-TV". Radio Energy presents its shows on Pro7 Switzerland. Ringier markets the French private channels TF1, TMC and NT1 in western Switzerland, so it runs the same business as Goldbach. And when Fränki gets worked up about private channels with their tabloid programs, then this is a particularly astonishing finding, because he and his entire publishing house have lived primarily from shallow tabloid products for decades.
