Weil es immer wieder ungerechtfertigte Kritik an scheinbar oberflächlichen Texten der Onlineausgabe der Tagesschau gibt:
Das habt ihr selbst so gewählt! Bei den Landtagswahlen.
Die Länder haben die Beschränkung der ÖRR kürzlich sogar noch regieder gezurrt. Journalistische Online Texte dürfen praktisch nie veröffentlicht werden, wenn es keinen Radio oder TV/Video Bericht dazu gibt. Sie dürfen nicht presseähnlich sein.
»Gorgel vom Ochsen: Setz sie in einem Wasser zu und laß sie eine Stunde sieden. Nimm sie heraus und säubere sie aus, so läßt sie sich fein voneinander lösen. Mach einen linden Pfeffer von Hühnerschweiß und mach es sauer oder laß es süß, so wird es gut und wohlgeschmack.«
