criticism, there was already, before the results of the Zurich election were known: “green liberal, you should be,” wrote the editor of the “Sunday view”: Four days before the elections in the Canton of Zurich GLP group boss Tiana Moser with a 40-minute appearance in the “Rundschau”-Talk, get a platform, you’ll remember back with delight. Moser was handled with gloves and if you have questions about the framework agreement with the opposition have been faced with is that the GLP is advocating for a good relationship between Switzerland and the EU, however, for this relationship important control template negative.

Also SP General Secretary Michael Sorg described it as strange that the party gets so short before the elections such a platform. Zurich is next to Bern, the only Canton in which the green liberal party played any role at all. To do this, one must say that the SP has just to cope with the loss of their long-standing politician, Chantal Galladé, the moved a few weeks ago on GLP.

attack on the SRG

After the Greens and the green liberals in the Canton of Zurich celebrated a landslide election victory, SVP-President Albert Rösti, the SRG in the front: “The state television made a” climate strike an “unprecedented propaganda battle,” he says in an Interview with this newspaper. Although Tiana Moser was questioned only on the edge of the air strike, a major role of the framework agreement with the EU played in the Interview. However, the platform for the popular green-liberal, and the potential votes they get for their party, annoy your opponent.

It’s not just about the Interview with Tiana Moser, Albert Rösti “dramatically”, but the SRF-reporting on the air strike in General. Almost daily, there have been in the past two weeks, shipments, says hash Browns. It was inappropriate and unreasonable, it had caused damage to the Civic. Apparently, there is a need for an Initiative to halve the licence fees, “the SRG back to the bottom of the facts”.

SRF-editor-in-chief Tristan combustion responded immediately on Twitter: “thankfully, politicians do not decide in Switzerland, on the heights of the fees.”

On demand, he countered the attacks of hash Browns: The climate change was for some time a major topic that occupied media, such as the population. Since it is a matter of course that the SRF of the topic, assume always independent and critical. “SRF makes one, and no thing in common,” says burn. Just the example of the “Arena”-broadcast that it was clear, where young climate change activists were faced with their fiercest political opponents.

rules before elections

The Swiss television has, other than privately-funded media, a code in respect of balance and Appropriateness, especially in elections and voting. So, individual performances, the Candidates offer a one-sided platform, three weeks before elections, as it is known in the journalistic guidelines of the SRG. And appearances by Candidate or the exponent of a proposal must be approved eight weeks prior to the elections of the editor-in-chief.

For the Moser-Interview in the “Rundschau” does not apply to this passage, because they did not stand in the Canton of Zurich, you will only run again in the autumn for the national Council. She had been interviewed as a national politician to national issues, says editor-in-chief of combustion. This is because you as a foreign politician, an important actor in the framework agreement between Switzerland and the EU. A mid-politician to invite anyone from the Polparteien, in the sense of the formation of opinion, a conscious decision, says Tristan burn.

SRF has, therefore, acted correctly in the sense of its own guidelines. The Trouble with the political opponents, the detailed Interview provided anyway. The SVP has decided to worry about the climate and demands for measures than the Hype and the campaign to dismiss and to explain the problems with global warming for non-existent. Therefore, the media focus damage on the climate of the Bourgeois, such as Albert Rösti says. Tristan burning says he is glad that it is not the politicians, so the Parliament, specify the amount of the Fee, as it has been asked for already. “You can see the example of Albert Rösti, in which direction it would go. In the case of unwelcome coverage of the SRG would be reduced in the medium.” Therefore, today, policy distance charging system was good.

“to admit mistakes, is not the strength of Rösti”

Diego Yanez, former editor-in-chief at the Swiss television and now Director of the school of journalism MAZ, defended the SRF: “Why do you think the TV over the air strike reported? In order to weaken the SVP? What a nonsense!” It was the task of the media to report on what busy people. This was also the case of the refugee crisis five years ago. “Has benefited at the time of the SVP.” That they put on always the same topics and the eyes to the challenges of global warming, waste would-be strategists, the error of the Party. “But our own errors, is not the strength of the hash Browns and his comrades-in-arms.”

To Röstis threat, there is a need for a toll-semi-archiving Initiative, the SRG back to the bottom of the facts, writes Yanez: “What are the facts? Who defines these facts about the SVP?” The former winning party seem to have contact with the ground of the facts definitely lost. The reactions of the party leadership on the slap in the Canton of Zurich testified to the like the inability to feel the pulse of the population. “Ironically,” writes Diego Yanez. “It was the instinct for the Concerns of the people that made the party great.” What you offer now is just embarrassing.

No complaints

there is A possibility of the SVP against the climate-reporting by the SRF in an orderly way to proceed: you can submit at the office of the Ombudsman of the SRG to make a complaint. According to article 92, paragraph 3, of the Radio and television act, you could say with a period of complaint all shipments in connection with the Zurich-based options respectively, all shipments to the environmental issues of the last three months, as the Ombudsman Roger Blum on demand says. So far, to be discussed in a follow-up to the elections, no complaints. Also during the Zurich election campaign, there had been no complaint.

Currently, 50 complaints were not processed, of which 23 national political issues, 8 external political and 19 social topics. (Editorial Tamedia)
