A new scandal in the Popular Party, this time regarding Noelia Núñez's falsified CV, and a new media operation by Brunete to make the matter more positive. Since the caught politician has vacated her seat and all her posts, El Mundo ran its front page headline: "The PP raises the bar with the departure of Noelia Núñez and points the finger at the PSOE." Taking credit for it in these circumstances is truly commendable. The newspaper bought the narrative, because the fabricator of Congress issued a dignified statement, saying that she was bending, unlike others. I don't know if she was in the best position to start lecturing, frankly. At least ABC and La Razón had the decency not to cover the issue on their front pages. In the end, if they've also downplayed the case of the toxic emissions emanating from a former minister and vice president, what does a mere congresswoman inventing her CV matter? Bah, trifling.
This is further evidence of trench journalism, in which news affecting one's own party is turned inside out and ends up as a weapon against the PSOE wholesale, as if the PP itself didn't also have the Pablo Casado cases when it comes to issuing titles. Given this new writing technique, I suppose it won't be long before we see headlines like "Montoro raises the bar by making the shenanigans with his consulting firm leave the rest of the revolving doors like a kindergarten game", "Lee Harvey Oswald raises the bar by voluntarily offering the savings processed by the thorax" directly, "Netanyahu raises the bar by drastically reducing student-teacher ratios in schools in Gaza". Anything, with the blue pill from The Matrix, can be sold in a positive way, because the story can withstand anything.
