Many current affairs programs across all networks are delving into the conflict between the United States and Venezuela. The images we receive of Nicolás Maduro in the hands of US security forces are so striking and morbid that programs that never focus on international politics are suddenly reveling in this story in a clumsy and simplistic way. A lot of fat from supposed experts and theorists who are adding their two cents to the mix. On Antena 3, you only have to look at Sonsoles Ónega on the most sensationalist magazine program par excellence. She has replaced the events of the most sordid side of Spain with images of Maduro in handcuffs and a tracksuit getting off a helicopter.

Morning news magazines' penchant for crime stories, dramatic stories, and other gruesome details is a television classic. But in recent weeks, these cases have taken on a much more subtle, informative approach. Let's see, from Telecinco, reported that an arsonist who had started a fire had been released. They also interviewed the mother of one of the victims because the defense had requested the release of the perpetrator. They connected with the mayor of Sant Feliu de Guíxols to explain the problem of recidivism in the town. They have a group of thieves who have been arrested more than forty times and who are quickly released again, causing frustration among citizens and security forces. On Antena 3, in the summer version ofPublic mirror, also reported the release of a man accused of starting a fire. They also reported that during Semana Grande (Big Week) in Bilbao, ETA members with bloody crimes had been honored by hanging their T-shirts in the street. The program interviewed relatives of victims of terrorism to assess this gesture.

On Friday morning, in Public mirror, Susanna Griso interviewed the new PP spokesperson, Esther Muñoz. The conversation was very useful for understanding the profile Feijóo's party has sought to address the media and the public. Muñoz symbolizes a generational renewal. Griso made it very easy for her, and the spokesperson displayed great discursive force. She uses unfiltered dialectics, effective on social media, very combative, perfectly aligned with the strategy of parliamentary confrontation. She is determined before the media, with a tough and expeditious attitude, which conveys maximum loyalty.

On Tuesday morning, in Public mirror, Susanna Griso and her panelists were discussing the Constitutional Court's approval of the amnesty, and to question the argument that this measure is in the public interest, the presenter cut to an image: "The amnesty coincided with what happened to Salvador Illa, who had to endure a public outcry from the separatists. He experienced it at the Palau de la Música.And they broadcast some images recorded on a mobile phone showing the president of the Generalitat in the audience, alongside Josep Rull, while everyone shouted "I-Inde-Independència!" and clapped their hands. The video was four seconds long and was broadcast twice to create the impression of a longer duration. The spotlight was on Isla at that moment. A sign below asked the audience: "AMNESTY: DOES IT IMPROVE COEXISTENCE?The brief sequence, therefore, was used to suggest a climate of hostility and tension in Catalonia and to cast doubt on the objective of the amnesty. After the images, Susanna Griso took back the helm: "Independence, eh... And he, unfazed".

On Wednesday, Oriol Junqueras was invited to Public mirror. The meeting with Susanna Griso could not have been more opportune. The debt forgiveness plan had taken up a good part of the current affairs debate on the programme, and it was evident that it provoked indignation and fuss among the collaborators. As expected, the editorial line of the magazine also showed the usual indifference that everything that has to do with Catalonia generates.
