On the anniversary of 9/11 a host on Danish Public Broadcasting that is financed by taxpayers, said about the attack on America:
”I am a little embarassed to admit it, but I thought: Hey, it’s the Americans, now they get spanked, they really deserve it.”
This outrageous comment didn’t have any consequences for the host. He was just mildly reprimanded by his boss who – surprise, surprise – stated that this kind of comments violates Danish Public Broadcasting rules for what employees are allowed to say on air.
The host, Jens Blauenfeldt, later issued the following statement:
”I am absolutely not anti-American og it wasn’t my intention to express anything of the sort. Now, when I see my words on print I understand that they can be interpreted politically. That was not my intention, I am sorry.”
