An unusual moment occurred in the “Tagesschau”. A correspondent forgot what she wanted to say in the middle of the live broadcast. However, the internet responds empathetically.
The article in the “Tagesschau” only lasted a minute, but there is currently a lot of discussion regarding it on the Internet. Reporter Hanna Resch joined the 8 p.m. edition live from Tel Aviv on January 1st. But during the switch she stumbled.
As she reported on the Supreme Court’s ruling on judicial reform in Israel, she first faltered, asked for a break, and then looked down to where she presumably had her notes. “I need to compose myself for a moment,” she said. But the second attempt wasn’t successful either, she kept trying once more and even described Israel’s government as “right-wing radical”.
Jens Riewa, who was the moderator in the studio, then charmingly moderated his colleague with the words: “Thank you, Hanna Resch. Everything has arrived, we understand everything.”
“Tagesschau” mistake: Israel correspondent blacks out
However, the blackout might only be seen live on television. The “Tagesschau” version, which is currently available in the media library, has been shortened. There is neither Resch’s mistake nor Jens Riewa’s reaction to it, but a hard cut to the next topic.
But on Platform X, formerly Twitter, there is now a lot of discussion regarding the live broadcast and the reporter. “I understand that this journalist has just described the Israeli government as right-wing radical. That makes me a bit stunned… What does the directorate actually say regarding that?”
Others asked whether she would “get another chance following this performance.” Meanwhile, there was a lot of criticism for her statement towards the Israeli government.
But many users support her: “She is a person who is not left unscathed by what she has seen and experienced. You might make carpets out of my constantly lost threads.”
The German Journalists’ Association also expressed its opinion and encouraged her: “ARD journalist Hanna Resch had interruptions in the live broadcast to Israel and had to stop. So what? It’s only human. No reason for malice.”
