The ARD makes a serious mistake before the federal election in 2021.
The first projections can be seen briefly in the broadcaster's live program.
Update from Sunday, 09/26/2021, 6.45 p.m.:
Now there are actual projections of the results of the federal election in 2021. Previously, projections were already published live on ARD - much too early (see first report).
First
report from Saturday, September 25th,
2021
, 11.00 a.m .:
Berlin - First projections two days before the federal election in 2021 *?
Where do you get that?
The answer: With the public law.
On Friday evening, the quiz show “Asked, chased” was flickering across the screens of many ARD viewers when, at around 6.30 p.m., a voting treadmill suddenly faded in for a few seconds.
In it you can see: alleged first projections for the federal election of 5.46 p.m.
Accordingly, the SPD * would have 22.7 percent, the CDU * / CSU * 22.1 percent, the FDP * 13.2 percent and the AfD * 10.5 percent of the vote.
Before the first alleged projections for the Greens * and Left * could be displayed, the ARD * had switched off the treadmill again.

A little later, Holger Lichtenthäler, head of the ARD broadcasting center Das Erste, explained how the TV breakdown could come about: “It was a technical test of the election crawl that was to be carried out in the inactive broadcasting area in preparation for election Sunday, due to a switching error but went on air.
It was an accident for which we apologize. "
Today is Friday, September 24th, 2021.
Do we have to be concerned if projections for the federal election are already running through the picture at #gefragtgejagt in the #ARD?
🤔
Do they already know more than we do?

The superimposed projections for the 2021 federal election were of course fictitious, emphasized the broadcaster.
But with the mind games that involuntarily went on the airwaves, the ARD seems to have oriented itself closely to the current polls before the election.
According to recent surveys, the SPD is just ahead of the Union, with only one to three percentage points separating the two parties.
The Greens with top candidate Annalena Baerbock ranked third.

By the way: While the treadmill was fading in, the quiz show host Alexander Bommes was just asking: “Which goblin with red hair did Hans Clarin give his voice to for decades?” Before he could finish the question, however, participant Svenja had already answered correctly with “Pumuckl”.
After all, that went smoothly that Friday evening.
