Criticism
Many commentators complain especially its discussion and conversation: Instead dig deeper to comment on statements of opinion and critically compare opposing positions, it acts only as a prompter. Thus they give especially politicians the opportunity to use rehearsed PR and phrases to hide behind rhetorical commonplaces and sprawling, recriminations. So criticized mirror -author Matthias Matussek Christiansen in his opinion uncritical moderation of an interview with Oskar Lafontaine in 2000 and described it in this context as "Germany's most gifted journalists actress ".
As known Christiansen was trying to finish her mission, described Reinhard Mohr of Mirror Online this " media sensation" with the words: "If a unsolicited advice would be allowed: Sabine Christiansen should stop the same, here and now. It would be a blessing for all involved. "Unlike Mohr, the jury of the German Trade Association of Journalists praised her " stunning journalistic accomplishment, " and their ability to prepare complex political and economic content so that they would be received with interest by a wide audience. The Media Tenor to adjust its ARD program ran counter to this view mainly diametrically.
2008 Christiansen was criticized because it had a PR contract with the automaker Daimler AG, without informing the ARD on this treaty. In her show " My 2008", which was broadcast on 11 January 2008, in addition to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche several celebrities had occurred, which also perceive PR events for Daimler and Mercedes -Benz. Christiansen defense was that the contract had come only after broadcast of the program " to bear ".
