On Monday, on Cuatro, there was a risk that the media space-time would implode before the gathering, at the same table, of characters who dedicate all their energy to distorting reality. <em>Horizon</em>The ultra-sensationalist and conspiratorial current affairs program hosted by Iker Jiménez and Carmen Porter was joined by Eduardo Inda and Juan Soto Ivars. They began the program with a heartfelt tribute to Fernando Esteso and his films. They transformed his entire filmography into a kind of Nostradamus who had anticipated and predicted our present.<em>They are visionary films!</em>"," exclaimed the presenter, fascinated by this phenomenon of divination. Admiring the freedom of the era, they all lamented with nostalgia:<em>This would be unthinkable now!</em>The massive avalanche of dandruff surpassed any paranormal phenomenon Iker Jiménez had ever tackled in his career as a ghost hunter and alien locator. Adding to the pile of fat was Bea Talegón, in her phase of conversion and adaptation to new social trends. The journalist, who was one of the most inflated voices. <em>FAQs </em>On TV3 during the Process, he performs grotesque balancing acts on a tightrope held by the most sordid figures of the far right. At a table of monolithic thinking, where they agree with each other, these figures behave like clairvoyants who possess the solution to all of Spain's problems. They feign indignation at the incompetence of the government, the left in general, and the separatists in particular. They legitimize conspiracy theories and pretend to have classified information that they themselves promise to reveal at the opportune moment. They claim to have extraordinary contacts with top-level information that will trigger a turning point that will save the nation. They salivate over every video on social media that confirms their position and stage a perfectly orchestrated choreography to further radicalize their loyal followers. They consider any dissent from their extreme theories to be the product of stupidity and a collective brainwashing being carried out by the government for electoral purposes.</p>]]></description>

She lived up to her role as deputy secretary of mobilization and digital challenge and chose Mediaset as the platform to sell her version of events. She appeared on two Cuatro programs. She went to <em>Everything is a lie</em> –a very apt title in her case–, in which she had previously contributed. They interviewed her for almost an hour, and her constant ambiguity when talking about her studies was evident. She was vague again when referring to the credits she needed to complete her law degree, and they caught her in another lie: they brought back an interview in which she claimed she only had her final degree project left. She was also interviewed in <em>On everyone's lips</em> by Nacho Abad, the most unscrupulous news anchor on television. The man treated her very affectionately and indulgently accepted her arguments. His motto: "Live without regret."</p>]]></description>

In the <em>Newscast</em> La 1's broadcasters picked up on the president's willingness to refuse to throw in the towel and summarized his anti-corruption plan. They emphasized the government's satisfaction with the appearance, which reinforced a certain notion of a turning point to which the Socialists aspired. In fact, the report on the session in Congress frequently cited government and party sources, even in their metaphors. The journalist summarized: "<em>The image established within the ranks of the PSOE has been very eloquent, they say, that the PP has sold the bear's skin before hunting it, but that the move has gone wrong for them because the bear is more alive than ever.</em>". Allegories that brought an excessively enthusiastic vigor to reality. "<em>The legislature seems to be holding up for the moment.</em>" and "<em>Full house passed, government sources say</em>was the final conclusion of the news.</p>]]></description>

Networks such as Cuatro and La Sexta have used the concept "<em>the Catalan Pelicote</em>" to refer to the accused. We saw him on Thursday in <em>On everyone's lips</em>, when the program asked for the details of "<em>the Catalan Pelicot prostitution network</em>". The same thing happened in <em>News Four</em>, where they spoke of the fact as <em>"the Pelicot case of Barcelona"</em>. In <em>Better late than never</em> They repeated the appeal. They weren't the only ones. Radio stations like SER and all kinds of digital media have also done so. Even the RTVE website, surprisingly, uses this concept.</p>]]></description>

The drama doesn't matter. His only merit as a television guest was being a relative of a soccer player. He was so furious that it was hard to understand what he was saying. But there was an unexpected climax. Part of his family had doubted that he was blind, and so he decided to prove it in an exercise charged with undeniable dramatic force. We witnessed a delirious television moment: <em>"It's been questioned that I'm even blind! And I'm fed up with it now! I'm really blind, damn it!"</em>, and aggressively put his fingers to his face and tore off the two ocular prostheses that concealed his blindness. <em>"Look at my eyes!"</em>"He exclaimed, stretching out his hand to the two presenters, showing them the two fake eyes in his palm. The cameraman was so frightened that he suddenly opened the image to a general view so as not to show too close a scene worthy of a Greek tragedy. Nacho Abad and David Alemán, the two hosts of the program, were stunned. This act of rage surpassed all the gruesomeness they usually display in their videos. Finding both prostheses half a meter away and the guest with his half-empty eye sockets didn't amuse them so much. The man, still in a state of rage, continued with his act of sacrifice. He placed his fingers on his clear eyes and opened his tartlets to reveal that there was no doll's eyes and no possibility of seeing: <em>"Look how blind I am! Look how blind I am!"</em>, he insisted angrily. And turning to his ex-partner, who must have been watching him from home, he shouted at her: <em>"You slept with me and didn't notice I took off my prosthetics every night?! Liar!"</em>. And he insisted on showing his glass eyes: <em>"David! Nacho! Do I see him?"</em>The presenter, dismayed, asked him: <em>"José Manuel, please put on your prosthetics. It wasn't necessary, huh…"</em> The guest, determined to prove his innocence, even asked for a can to be brought to the set so he could pee live, so it could be analyzed to prove he wasn't using drugs.</p>]]></description>

The star adventurer of the channel has managed, we don't know how, to get a ticket for the next trip on the New Shepard rocket. It will be the tenth trip of the company Blue Origin, which sends capsules beyond the Kármán Line with the suborbital rocket for vertical launch and landing. The purpose of these expeditions is eminently touristic. On this trip, which will be broadcast live on February 25, there will be another five passengers. Calleja presents himself as the third Spaniard to go into space after Pedro Duque and Miguel López Alegría.</p>]]></description>
