Markus Lanz is currently doing a more interesting program than colleagues Maybrit Illner, Anne Will or colleague Frank Plasberg because, unlike them, he doesn't jump from one phrase to the next.

Lanz used to be criticized for the attitude that is praised in him today: he asks critically.

“It's okay if you are insulted equally from all sides,” he says. “If you get regular thrashing from all sides, then you know that you have done your job reasonably well.” Incidentally, Prime Ministers also watch the program.
