RTL, Jungle Camp and Racism

RTL Found for Jungle Camp Good grades this week. Because in this, i.e. the show “I’m a star – get me out of here!”, the broadcaster showed the – right – attitude.

Which means: Jungle candidate Janina Yusufian took off after racially insulting rival Linda Nobat. That’s right, all said, RTL was at the forefront of the anti-racism ringelpies that were ostentatiously rampant in the media bubble.

Of course, the scene in question had to be shown to the audience first. The insult, for which Janina Yusufian later apologized, also sparked a widespread media affair.

In this regard, it is easy to understand that Professor of Philosophy Claudia Paganini considers the presence of RTL to be “very bilateral”. One can, said the professor of media ethics at the “DomRadio” portal, “avoid showing such scenes if one does not want to stage people who express themselves as role models in this manner.” Huh.

You could, but reality television is different: First comes the staging, then the moral. “On the one hand, the candidates are incensed in such a way that it escalates,” says Catholic news agency Claudia Paganini, “that it becomes emotional and dramatic and the audience is seduced.” On the other hand, they try to counteract the gross derailment and show the outside world that they as a broadcaster do not accept it.”

It will briefly describe the transmission principle: first eating the worm, then a moral posture. “Such behavior” is not tolerated, RTL declared, condemning every form of racism and discrimination and “those who do not conform to this attitude are not given a platform”. The latter can mean only irony.
