The gain in knowledge in Louis Klamroth’s second debut of “Hart aber fair” is not particularly great. That’s because 75 minutes couldn’t be filled with simple facts. Nevertheless, in the end, this unsurprising show is proof that not everything is lost after all.
“Talk shows are neither the root of all evil nor the place where democracy can be saved,” Louis Klamroth just said in the Time that is anything but the root of all evil, but reliably saves democracy once a week and otherwise willingly gives every media celebrity the opportunity to present themselves. Klamroth, who could blame him, used the space given to advertise the revamped “Hart aber fair” which he now co-produced. Frank Plasberg once invented the show and moderated it for 22 years, at the beginning quite cheeky, but at the end visibly exhausted by the constant noise of the right-wingers of all factions and opinions. Klamroth succeeded him a year ago and has now also lost his predecessor’s company.
