La ruleta de la suerte is celebrating: twenty consecutive years being one of the most successful programs on state television. It can long be considered a symbol of morning television entertainment, while also being one of the longest-running programs on the current grid.

On Friday evening, Antena3 Noticias echoed an unusual case: “United States is investigating the mysterious murder or disappearance of eleven scientists. All of them were working with sensitive information and several were investigating life in space. Until now there was no official connection between them, but the United States press is starting to connect the dots”. The headline does not lie: indeed, the White House spokesperson has communicated the will to investigate these events and Trump himself has assured that in a week and a half they would report the conclusions. However, the uncritical way in which the news report explained the facts betrays more commercial intent than journalistic.The case is, without a doubt, very juicy: dead scientists, classified information and UFOs. A winning cocktail. But the most rigorous media are distancing themselves from it. It all began with the disappearance of retired General William McCasland at the end of February. He left home equipped with only a weapon and nothing more has been heard of him. Podcasters and content creators on social networks began to collect other old cases, forcing the common points between them and fabricated a pattern retrospectively, without it having existed previously. They built a conspiratorial narrative based on stereotypes: scientists who knew too much, discoveries about extraterrestrial life, and elimination of witnesses. The story goes viral and, following the 'roll it up' method, narrative layers are added: China, state secrets and UFOs. A conspiracy theory is created so perfect that certain right-wing American media could not resist it. And now we have a more powerful media and social ecosystem that has transformed isolated cases into a very attractive conspiratorial narrative. The story works even though the eleven cases are from different years and from very diverse professionals, intentionally unified under the generic label of "they had access to classified information." The noise, therefore, is amplified with a click. And, lo and behold, both the White House and Donald Trump end up talking about it publicly, committing to investigate it and provide an answer. A political communication strategy that allows connecting with audiences who normally distrust institutions. They thus project a sense of absolute control, showing themselves as a relentless government that acts in the face of highly strange and apparently dangerous events. Incidentally, this alleged mystery of the eleven dead scientists allows them to divert attention from much more important and uncomfortable issues that we already know about. It is very possible that, in the coming weeks, the media will talk about this case of the eleven dead scientists, but a critical look that dissects the details and miseries is essential: how the theory passes from internet forums to right-wing media and, from there, to institutional politics. Because instead of journalism there is a great desire to pull the wool over people's eyes.

On Monday at noon, Spanish news outlets prioritized the statement of Luis Bárcenas in the trial for the Kitchen case.In La 1's Telediario, the news reported that the former treasurer of the PP had ordered the destruction of the recordings about the party's slush fund and that when he wrote "M.R." on his papers, he was referring to Mariano Rajoy. The trial chronicle concluded that from Bárcenas's statements it could be inferred that the PP leadership was aware of the slush fund accounting and that, therefore, "the spotlight is starting to turn towards Mariano Rajoy". Subsequently, the public television's news program incorporated the PSOE's reaction to the trial developments and those of the current PP.In Informativos Telecinco the approach was quite similar. They spoke of the deleted documentation as "compromised recordings" and highlighted that according to Bárcenas, Rajoy himself knew of the existence of the slush fund. They also included a response from the former treasurer in which he specified that the initials "M.R." in the treasurer's papers referred to Mariano Rajoy.On the other hand, on Antena 3 noticias Sandra Golpe's report incorporated a tone laden with skepticism and a touch of sarcasm that gave the news a blatant bias. To refer to the stolen or missing documentation, Golpe said “sensitive information”, but each time she pronounced “sensitive” she lowered her tone of voice and with surprise, attributing an imaginary or unreal dimension to the concept, as if what she was talking about was unheard of. Furthermore, when the presenter repeated what Bárcenas had said, she emphasized with a forced emphasis that it was he who said it, attributing a component of suspicion to his statements: “Luis Bárcenas says –he says today– that he recorded Rajoy talking about the PP's slush fund”. This affected "says today” added a circumstantial element to the statement, the fragility of a last-minute occurrence. “The recordings included –he says– audios of Mariano Rajoy”. The "he says" was again pronounced with a certain disdain, reducing it to the category of an unconvincing version. To top it all off, Antena 3's report did not at any point echo one of the aspects that the rest of the news programs highlighted even in their headlines. It was the statement where Bárcenas specified that the initials "M.R." that he had written in the papers of the parallel accounting corresponded to the initials of Mariano Rajoy.Sandra Golpe's theatrical ability to craft a double reading, a subtext, in the news from her tone of voice and facial expressions would be worthy of a Goya. While on paper the information may have a relative appearance of journalistic neutrality, the singsong, the intensity, the micro-expressions, and the slight shoulder movements would be worthy of a doctoral thesis on subliminal communication.

We hear on the radio about Noelia's case, the girl who by the time these lines are read will have received euthanasia. They have spoken to us about it. We know her father opposes it with the support of Christian Lawyers. But the difference is that, a few days ago, she gave an interview on television. Then "Noelia's case" goes from being general to specific. The girl talks about her father. The father said: grandmagrandma was hell." The case is not "just" a paraplegic girl who wants to die. It's a girl who was raped and, as a reaction, tried to commit suicide without succeeding.

It had been a long time since we had heard about Noelia's case in the media. A committee of experts authorized, almost two years ago, her right to assisted death due to her suffering. The father's legal battle, however, had prevented it until now. Two days before the euthanasia date, Sonsoles Ónega announced an interview with Noelia. She herself had requested to participate in the program.

The statements made to the judge by Jorge Suárez, Deputy Director General of Emergencies for the Valencian Community, have revealed a detail that further delayed sending the alert message to citizens' mobile phones: the Catalan translation took them quite a while because Salomé Pradas, beyond tweaking the text so that it wasn't too typical of standard Catalan rather than Valencian, emphasized the importance of using the same language. In the debate over the translation, she asked that emphasis be placed on... Valencia and replace guys by guy and this by thisCatalan media outlets have reported on this situation, while Spanish media have overlooked it. Telecinco News they merely underlinedthe time they invested in materializing the messageand in the Newscast La 1 indicated that "The president of the Provincial Council suggested making spelling changes", without specifying which ones.

On Tuesday, Sonsoles Ónega put on an unprecedented display of televised cruelty.Now we're going to move from one fantastic story to another tremendous one."," he simply announced, changing the subject. On his crime program on Antena 3, And now SonsolesThe program featured a couple whose son had died at the age of twenty due to serious medical negligence. The young man couldn't breathe, and his mother called emergency services. The conversation with the doctor was recorded, and Sonsoles Ónega broadcast it to introduce the case. The mother alerted the doctor that her son couldn't breathe. The doctor asked to speak with the young man, and she repeatedly told him that he couldn't because he was suffocating. The doctor, incredulous and arrogant, insisted. While this segment aired, the camera showed the couple. The father could be seen covering his ears to avoid hearing the call again. However, Ónega then moved on to the second part of the recording, with the added problem that she got the young man's name wrong. His name was Aitor, and she warned viewers that they would discover Iker's story. In the recording, the young man's voice could be heard:I'm drowning... I can't... I'm drowning..."And how the doctor spoke to the mother again and told her that her son was breathing perfectly. In a rude manner, he asked if he was under psychiatric treatment and insinuated that he had taken drugs. The mother denied it."He can say whatever he wants, but he's breathing perfectly fine."," the doctor concluded. Shortly afterward, the boy died from a blood clot obstructing his pulmonary artery. When the call ended, Ónega was sitting next to the couple, and the man was still covering his ears with his hands. The presenter, in a visibly affected tone, explained:Bartholomew has rightly told me: "I cannot hear my son die again.""No one on the program had thought of that before. Ónega was intoning one mea culpa hypocrite:Today I learned to ask. We won't do it again. We're not aware of it, but for you, hearing that call again brings no comfort. They will never forget it."

Antena 3 has premiered Protected, a kind of game show in which celebrity couples engage in small competitions through anecdotes from their lives related to their relationships. The premiere featured former soccer player Joaquín and singer Bertín Osborne.

An anonymous contestant had to choose between two candidates as a potential partner. It was all about sexuality. And it wasn't just about experiences, the program added the visual aspect. joked – or maybe not so much – pretending that he would win one of the two candidates.

The final choice of one of the women also carried the possibility of betrayal in exchange for money, and the male participant executed.

All the news channels are reporting on the calls that extremist groups are making to hunt down immigrants in the Murcian town of Torre Pacheco.Torre Pacheco is a powder keg", warned in the headlines ofAntena 3 news Presenter Sandra Golpe. The introductory video presented the conflict from the equidistant position of each other, with action music that transformed the attacks into a fast-paced video clip. "Although most immigrants were born there or have lived there for years, some residents say they have not yet adapted."said a reporter. And they included the statements on the street of two women: "They don't have a job and they spend all day on the street because they have nothing else to do.", said one. "They are problematic and give rise to insecurity.", another neighbor claimed. A reporter expanded on the names, symbols, and details of the extremist groups (including Vox) that are calling on their followers to fight.

A group of young men attacked him and severely injured him with kicks and punches.", Golpe stated, disclaiming responsibility for the news. And he closed the headline. "And rallies promoting hunting are already being organized.". It was added that the aggressors "They could be Moroccans", in the conditional. And on two other occasions they recalled the call for hunts against immigrants.

The Spanish newscasts opened, as is logical, with the appearance of Pedro Sánchez. In the Newscast 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: "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.". Allegories that brought an excessively enthusiastic vigor to reality. "The legislature seems to be holding up for the moment." and "Full house passed, government sources saywas the final conclusion of the news.

With all the generalist channels already with one foot in the summer programming, it is time to take stock of a season that has shown that television can still generate debate, as seen with the brawl between The anthill and The revoltDespite the differences in audiences between Spain and Catalonia as a whole, there's one common thread: Telecinco's collapse is a fact.

On April 23rd of last year, presenter Sandra Golpe opened the Antena 3 news with a resounding phrase: "How are you? Good afternoon. Today is April 23rd.". A year later, talking about Sant Jordi's Day and saying the word "Catalunya" are still difficult for them. Manu Sánchez opened the morning news by providing context for the date: "Today is the day of the faithful". He was referring to the devotees of Pope Francis who could begin filing through the funeral chapel installed in Rome. The program was practically a monograph on the death of the pontiff and the follow-up to the funeral. At no point did he mention Saint George, even though the Holy Father's secular name was George.

Fourteen years after it ended, it's back Physics or chemistry On Antena 3. A new generation of students begins a new school year at the Zurbarán Institute in Madrid with life choices and technologies at their disposal that change the landscape. The series begins in a nightclub, and in just the first four minutes, we see all the students drunk, a group snorting poppers, sexist comments, marijuana use, benzodiazepine abuse, cunnilingus in a public toilet bowl, anxiety attacks, punches, and a dead student. This is the new generation. Physics or chemistry to extreme levels. After the summer break, the philosophy teacher asks them what makes them happy. "Fucking," one suggests. "I'll suck my dick, fucking is for workers," another declares. In physical education class, a girl explains that she's exempt from the subject because one leg is longer than the other, even though it doesn't show. The teachers aren't much better. When it comes to interacting, the level of aggression among the teaching staff is more typical of a penitentiary than an educational center. This time, they emphasize that the school is a parent-teacher cooperative, and this allows a mother to act as an oligarch and controller of an educational regime typical of the Transition.
