(18) Why the unfairness in the Feuilleton of the Süddeutsche Zeitung ?

Why Christopher Schmidt  discussed the Marlowe theory 

but did neither mention the name of the author 

nor the title of the book?



The journalist Christopher Schmidt (who recently died unexpectedly )    led a full-page interview in the Feuilleton of the Süddeutsche Zeitung in 2011 with todays best known german Shakespeare translator Frank Günther (deceased october 2020) and asked him  on a recent book about the Marlowe theory of a Munich neurologist? (s.Faksimile)

 It is noticeable that Mr. Christopher Schmidt
*  did neither mention the name of the author nor the title of this book
*  did  accept  Günthers disparagement  of the book
*  and  gave large room to Günters bizarre theory of the QUEEN  as Shakspeares  most likely candidate
   

What is the most plausible interpretation for Schmidts  bizarr journalistic approach not to identify author and title related to a main topic of his article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung?
