Those who summarize can influence

I have been to various events where a cabaret artist would summarize the presentations in a humorous way at the end. This did not go down well at all. The satirist could, as he saw fit, arbitrarily summarize the key statements in an ironic way and ridicule serious ideas. The cabaret artist's sociopolitical positioning was clearly recognizable.

As is well known, initial and final votes are uae rcs data particularly important in discussions. Whoever argues first can have a greater influence on the opinion. And whoever gets to speak last influences the opinion more sustainably than the votes in between.

SRF presenter Jonas Projer and cabaret artist Patti Basler.

Trained moderators therefore ensure that the first speaker does not receive the final vote with the prominent opinion. At the end, the opposing opinion is deliberately given a chance. If a poetry artist in the "Arena" can now reproduce what has been heard in her own way, this subjective weighting, evaluation and influence on the audience should not be underestimated.

The “Arena” producers should take note of this. After all, they have hired Patti Basler to summarize the next four editions in a humorous instant report at the end ( persoenlich.com reported ).

Nothing against experimenting. However, if it were discovered that the slam poet's summary was distorting serious content, the exercise would have to be stopped early. Swiss television is obliged to provide accurate information in political broadcasts.
