It is fascinating how private television stations tried to disguise the scandal of the luxury penthouse that the Community of Madrid has bought to use as supposed temporary offices for President Ayuso. On Telecinco, in the magazine Vamos a ver, they made a convoluted plan with the intention of presenting it as an interesting investment. They sent a reporter to a flat for sale in the Chamberí neighborhood. They reported that it was the neighboring flat to the one in question, as if it were next door, and later we found out it was on another street. They assured that this flat was, if not exact, practically the same as the one the public entity had bought. They entered that flat with the real estate consultant who had it for sale and asked him to conduct the tour in front of the cameras. The man showed the living room, the kitchen, and the bedrooms, singing all its virtues. He spoke about the excellences of the neighborhood and the magnificent investment it represented. They also showed us the small terrace, boasting about views that were rather mediocre. That approach could easily confuse the audience, making them believe it was the Community of Madrid's flat and not a substitute to cover the issue on television. But when they asked about the price, it turned out to cost half of what they would have spent on the supposed temporary offices. It was worth three and a half million, not six. In the summer edition of Espejo público, at no time did they show images of the apartment or the building in the short time they dedicated to discussing that institutional purchase. Among the arguments of the panelists, the consideration that an apartment like that was an "element of representation" to justify the luxury was strongly emphasized.In Antena 3 Noticias, the always expressive Sandra Golpe didn't even want to take charge of that information. She gave way to a reporter to offer "other news", relegating it to a category of lesser importance. The presenter first reported that Begoña Gómez, Pedro Sánchez's wife, had recovered her passport and, immediately after, added a brief tail: And finally, after the controversy, the Community of Madrid has decided to put up for sale Ayuso's penthouse that she was going to use as an office while the works on the regional government headquarters lasted. It will be sold with four other properties. The money will be donated to those affected by the fires and to the reconstruction of the areas devastated by the fire”. Barely fifteen seconds of news that turned the six-million-euro bargain in Chamberí into an act of charity to help the victims of the fires. The scandal was closed in a few hours, without questioning the details hidden behind the suspicious purchase of a penthouse with two hundred meters of terrace. The level of inquiry and meticulousness applied to the PSOE cases contrasted with the superficial information about this case of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. But what attracted the most attention was the evident fear of the panelists to analyze the facts, with long preliminaries and many prior precautions before expressing their opinion. It seemed that they were more worried about keeping their seats as panelists than about common sense and the management of public money.

For weeks, Telecinco and Antena 3 have been showing contempt and prejudice against Zapatero's daughters that go beyond reasonable journalistic interest for their indictment. Both in morning and afternoon magazines and in the news, there is an obsession with showing photographs of them. The fact that they are two thirty-year-old women who do not conform to hegemonic canons, neither aesthetic nor stylistic, provokes a morbid fixation on their image. It is not new: when they were minors, they were already victims of cruel mockery.

The Supreme Court has today confirmed the ruling that forces Atresmedia to stop broadcasting El Rosco, the famous final test of the quiz show Pasapalabra. Justice considers that the test constitutes a work protected by intellectual property, the ownership of which corresponds to the Dutch company MC&F and not to ITV, the producer that licenses the broadcast rights of the quiz show. The court, furthermore, imposes compensation for moral damages of 50,000 euros to MC&F, considering that Atresmedia has infringed intellectual property rights.

Since Trump set out to dismantle the National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the country's public radio and television stations, a two-tiered response has emerged that is managing to keep the service afloat. On the one hand, federal judge Randolph Moss declared Donald Trump's executive order to cut federal funding to these state-level media, which have over a thousand associated radio and television networks operating at the local level, "unconstitutional" this April. However, the judge's ruling has not resulted in the return of the already cut funds, and this has already led to a hundred layoffs at PBS, representing 15% of the total, to which must be added approximately 500 more jobs lost at associated local radio or television stations.
