Haldimann criticizes Blocher TV

 In his blog, SF editor-in-chief Ueli Haldimann is critical of the new Blocher TV. He asks rhetorically what to make of this project and lists three points in response. Firstly, the program would "clearly and in several points" contradict the legislation on radio and television, according to Haldimann. The law stipulates that radio and television must "adequately express the diversity of opinions" in their broadcasts. The SF editor-in-chief wonders, again rhetorically, how a series can achieve this if only the same politician is allowed to speak. Secondly, Haldimann believes that the Blocher interviewer Matthias Ackeret can be described "without reservation as an admirer of Christoph Blocher", a "Blocher groupie" so to speak. Thirdly, it is said that the program is to be financed by sponsorship. However, according to the RTVA, news programs on current political events may not be sponsored, and Teleblocher is clearly a "program on current political events".
