For years we have criticized the “invitation practice” of German talk shows, but this program must have consequences.

Why do you share the video of this right-wing trulla, which sat at Lanz's yesterday, with a comment from you about it?

That is exactly the strategy of these people.

They all laugh up their sleeves.

I just don't understand anymore
