Since January the new channel is ON! part of public service broadcasting in the Netherlands. He is supposed to let those who otherwise allegedly remain “unheard” speak: climate skeptics, vaccine refusers, EU opponents or haters of Islam. Is that wise

Anyone who speaks to Western European right-wing populists often hears the same complaint: “The media” reported one-sided and not objectively, it is said that they wore left-green glasses through which they perceived “reality” in a distorted manner. In the Netherlands, right-wing politicians and activists have long pondered how that could be changed. The popular method is to distribute right-wing content on your own websites or in social media channels. In this way, the message gets directly to the citizen, without bothersome journalists’ questions.
