“What is the satire?” Asked Kurt Tucholsky. The answer today is clear: it must not call up in public law to choose the Left Party. The ZDF has therefore banned Max Uthoff to continue to appear on the program “Die Anstalt”. Since their first broadcast in 2014 (as a successor project of “News from the institution” with Urban Priol and Georg Schramm), he has been taking “social and political abuses satirical” every year together with Claus von Wagner and renowned representatives of the guild “, as on the ZDF website can be read. Now Uthoff has driven the fun too far. Because on the left is Pfui.
The program, designed for the past service evening, was written out and Uthoff. The broadcaster justified his decision with the words: »If the protagonists -shaped protagonists are politically involved in the run -up to elections, they are no longer allowed to appear in the program in a period of six weeks before the election. This also applies to Max Uthoff. ”Yeah, you know that: the principle of neutrality, which is often conjured up when something does not fit into the stuff.
Born in Munich in 1967, Uthoff studied law and took over the father “Rational Theater”, until a humorless, stubborn Bavarian state government of the scandalous small stage brought an end. The troublemaker, an Eleve of the great, unforgettable Dieter Hildebrandt, did not give up and repeatedly provoked the mighty of this country.
At the time of going to the editor of this newspaper, it was not yet known whether courageous colleagues boycott the broadcast of the neutered program or here again the desolidarization expected by the rulers and hypocrites.
