Thilo Mischke Removed as ARD's 'ttt' Moderator Following Backlash
The decision follows widespread criticism over Mischke's past works and a public outcry from cultural figures and audiences.
- The ARD announced that Thilo Mischke will no longer co-host the cultural program 'ttt - titel, thesen, temperamente,' citing the overshadowing of the show's core themes by controversy surrounding his appointment.
- Criticism centered on Mischke's earlier works, including his 2010 book 'In 80 Frauen um die Welt,' which many viewed as promoting misogynistic and sexist narratives.
- A petition signed by over 200 cultural figures rejected collaboration with 'ttt' under Mischke’s involvement, claiming he failed to adequately distance himself from his past works.
- ProSieben, Mischke's longtime employer, defended his journalistic achievements, highlighting his award-winning investigative reporting despite the backlash.
- Siham El-Maimouni, Mischke's originally announced co-host, will now take over as the primary presenter of 'ttt' in 2025.
