- Eerdmans frequently appears in talk shows.
- Victor argues themes are more important than guests.
Victor Vlam believes that the NPO should provide more space for Geert Wilders, arguing that the PVV’s supporters do not feel represented by the public broadcaster. He claims that when a large group feels unrepresented, they lose trust in the media.
Slagter responded by stating, “What a kletskoek! Wilders comes not when you invite him!!” He suggested that Vlam should ask the PVV why they decline every invitation. Vlam countered that the NPO still has an obligation to present the themes and voices of Wilders’ voters.
“Het gaat niet primair om de gasten maar om de thema’s.”
— Victor Vlam, TV Critic
Vlam noted that while conservative politician Joost Eerdmans appears frequently on talk shows, discussions on certain topics, like the EVRM or Refugee Treaty, are lacking. He acknowledged that some radio shows do address these subjects.
