RTVE's sensationalist approach has been cemented with three current affairs programs, each worse than the last, that turn the news into melodrama and debate into a festival of tension. Morning, noon, and night, La 1 offers its audience a hefty dose of this. Morning Shows 360with Adela González and Javier RuizHe confuses analysis with removing entrails. At night, malicious tongues, by Jesús Cintora, It's a tense and biased ideological show. And in the afternoon it's the turn of the grotesque. Straight to the pointHosted by Marta Flich and Gonzalo Miró. The latter has risen in just a few months from panelist to presenter without him being entirely clear on what the difference should be.
Straight to the point It also consists of a panel of commentators and connections with reporters who seek out victims for the most sensational stories possible. In the first minute of the summary, concepts such as "scenes of panic" and "Impressive images"They're useful for everything: floods, a cockroach infestation on Malaga buses, a drunk driver crashing into a Civil Guard station, or the terror in Vallecas caused by ultra-right-wing brawls. They've revived the figure of Paco Lobatón, who now searches for missing grandmothers, recalling the famous Who knows where? which he presented in the nineties on the same network.
The panelists of Straight to the point They are the usual suspects on any other channel and program, and they pontificate on whatever suits them. Isabel Durán, for example, invited to make a comment about the 50th anniversary of the fall of Franco's regime, exclaimed in alarm:This Spain you see in the NO-DO newsreels is today's Palestine! This is the Palestine the left wants to win!This is the level of analysis demonstrated by public television, degraded to a kind of Mediaset white label. It's further proof of the deterioration of public service, both due to the appalling quality of the content and the complete lack of responsibility. Through these kinds of broadcasts, RTVE generates a discourse that subtly imparts doctrine, disguising it as...infoshowWhile this approach spreads like mushrooms on a grill, the News programs They must gradually reduce their working hours despite striving for rigor and professionalism.
Gonzalo Miró, son of Pilar Miró, a renowned director and former head of RTVE in the late 1980s, is an amateurish presenter. The hours he's spent on late-night sports talk shows haven't given him the media authority to host a program: it's clear he's playing a role, conforming to a stereotype that's far too big for him. But his bitter arguments against Isabel Díaz Ayuso have landed him a spot on La 1's afternoon programming. The network's news council has already complained, because despite being their presenter, he gives his opinions directly to the camera as if he were discussing things in a private setting. The beach bar by Josep Pedrerol. It has a sloppy editorial style. And that's because the three yellow programs, Morning Shows 360, malicious tongues and Straight to the pointThey have one thing in common that makes them uncomfortable: they exude an unbearable, cocky rhetoric that uses journalism as a tool for provocation.
