Ana Rosa's program They inquired about "the hidden fortune" with the help of Eduardo Inda, the leading expert on the matter. In the montages of archival footage of the Pujol family, they used sequences of stacks of banknotes as a separator. The presenter and her colleagues mixed and confused circumstances, details, and news stories, in a totum revolutum of the case. In Antena 3 News The news report incorporated a subtle humorous montage in the style of APM, taking expressions and blunders from Pujol and Ferrussola to make the case even more grotesque.Those who were the image of cleanliness and integrity in Catalonia will be judged for the exact opposite."," they said to close the report. It was a constant theme throughout the morning: a certain judgment of Catalan society, as if it were complicit, as proof of the hypocrisy of an entire country. But the one who was most agitated and exuded uninhibited contempt was Antonio García Ferreras in Red hotHe spent the entire morning repeating the exact same litany:Jordi Pujol, possibly the most corrupt politician in Spanish history. They've really taken advantage of him!"He displayed a certain sarcastic distrust of Jordi Pujol's medical assessments. After a live report by journalist Ferran Casas commenting on the start of the trial, Ferreras dismissed him, adding a postscript of his own:"I think he's stolen so much he's forgotten all about it."When it was the turn of the former general secretary of CCOO Catalunya, Joan Coscubiela, now an analyst on the program, to speak, García Ferreras kept repeating the same thing: "23 years taking it away from the crude oil for decades and decades in power!"And he insisted:"They took it from him raw!

It employed a police-station style of language that replaces rigor and shapes the audience's perception without any legal basis. Furthermore, it allows the presenter to project a kind of moral detachment. All the complexity of the case is diminished.They took it away raw" Red hot It replaces judicial timelines and criteria with its own narrative.
