A little over a year ago, when Ricard Ustrell interviewed Susanna Griso on Col·lapse, the Antena 3 journalist lamented that her private life appeared in certain media because she had always tried to preserve her family's privacy. She also explained the discomfort of having to live with paparazzi cars that followed her wherever she went, even at the time of going to do that interview.It is curious, however, how Susanna Griso, when working, applies a different criterion. This Tuesday, on her program, she echoed the complaint of the ex-wife of cyclist Óscar Freire for sexist violence. Espejo público reported that the judge had issued a restraining order against the cyclist after his ex-partner had reported him for installing surveillance cameras at her home and car, tracking the vehicle with GPS, and cloning her WhatsApp. A reporter traveled to the town where the protagonists lived and toured the town, recounting the places where a series of public arguments had occurred. Along the way, he was asking the neighbors what they knew about the abuse: “Today they arrest anyone. Maybe tomorrow they will arrest me for talking”, said one lady. “Unfortunately, this issue of abuse is misused by some women”, said another, casting doubt on the victim. The reporter was probing the interviewees: “The family is also well-known...”, he suggested to a woman, in case she revealed any details. As the interviewee answered yes, the reporter gossiped: “The mother must be good then, right?”, he said, as if he were interested in the affected family. “Imagine! Like any mother!”, replied the neighbor. Then, the reporter went to the victim's house and rang the intercom asking for her: “Is Laura there? It's to know a little how she is after what happened...”. Logically, they hung up.Susanna Griso was covering the chronicle and they moved on to interview a detective. A collaborator on the program asked her a terrifying question: “Can we consider situations of controlling people to be normalized?” After the detective clarified that surveillance had to comply with the law, they had a bit of a chat about the case. Another collaborator explained that there were witnesses who had seen the cyclist take his ex-wife's phone, throw it, or not let her make phone calls. When a panelist emphasized the severity of sexist violence as a structural problem, Griso quickly closed the topic: “Intolerable. It's good that we're reporting it, because you don't have to suffer a similar situation if that's your case,” she advised the audience. What victims shouldn't have to suffer is the media's pursuit to their doorstep and them calling the intercom. Nor should reporters ask neighbors to re-victimize them and be nosy. What you defend for yourself, you should want for others.

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.
