In the last show before the holidays, Maybrit Illner discusses a classic of the summer slump, or as they say in the arts section: Cancel Culture. The round is promising. It’s just a pity that listening is neglected when talking about talking.
Maybrit Illner’s last show before the summer break, which is to be mentioned in advance, regrettably slips miles away from the topic of the day. While half the country between Grunewald and Schönefeld is looking for a suspected lioness, while newspapers and television stations have set up live tickers, predator experts are puzzling over whether it might be a cow or a Caucasian shepherd dog and Hubert Aiwanger is rushing against “big city ecologists”, Illner has decided on another classic of the summer slump repertoire. Not for free-roaming animals, not for swimming pool riots, but, à propos Aiwanger, for the question of who is allowed to say what and how, or, as they say in the features section: cancel culture.
