Three videos have dominated the networks this week, far above the rest. In Barbate, the attack by drug traffickers on the Civil Guard boat has provoked as many comments as that of the wives of the detainees defending them in front of the cameras. In Madrid, the presenter Inés Hernand and her declaration of, let’s say, admiration for the President of the Government at the Goya, and in Torrevieja, the carnival parade with minors.
Inés Hernand snapped at Pedro Sánchez, “You are an icon, president. We love you!”, which made the RTVE News Council creak, which rejected the “flattering” tone of the presenter, because at the end of the day TV belongs to “everyone” and even those who do not vote for the so-called pay for it. as an “icon”.
Perhaps things would have been more acceptable if he had left it in “I love you,” or clarifying that it was a majestic plural, thus contributing to the culturalization of the country? The networks became as wonderful as the compliment giver. @Rebevolutions: “Watching the broadcast is like being late to a party and your friend is already farting: you know that no matter how fast you drink, you’re not going to catch up with her or know what the hell she’s laughing at.”
It is clear that the communicator’s so-called funny comments, to follow the fashion of adjectivizing, were not liked by everyone, but it must be said that she also has someone to contextualize them: @noeliaclasica: “Inés Hernand is a comedian. The Goya’s coverage of her was in a comedic tone. Her compliments to Sánchez, the burp, everything. Okay, she didn’t make you laugh, but this chicken?
Perhaps it is @trinidadMNovo who hits the nail on the head most, when comparing the presenter’s “transgressive” style with that of 1980s journalists like Paloma Chamorro: “The only difference is that Paloma criticized the rulers of her time and she praises those of today.”
Well, it’s a difference. Let’s move on to Torrevieja, where the Osadía troupe had a great time under the motto “Promise until you commit”. It was a satire about politicians who offer everything before the elections and then forget about it. Dressed in garter belts, stockings and nipple shields, the presence of minors dressed in this way sparked debate on the networks: “Hypersexualized children”? The mayor of Torrevieja (from the PP) defended that the parents’ intention “is a criticism of the political and social situation in Spain.” We are left with the reflection of @Annagurgui: “It’s scary who the organizer was and what parents allow their children to parade without any sense, and to be filmed by people, who knows where these images will end up.”
