Pujol, La Sexta & Controversial Payments

Any La Sexta current program, whether the news, the gatherings of García Ferreras, theAim D’Ana Pastor, the afternoon magazine or any of its reporterism formats, has two characteristics in common: the use of sarcasm or irony in tone and informative superiority, a kind of narrative sufficiency, which gives off arrogance. It is a journalistic supremacism that distills arrogance. They exceed a highness and superficiality that allows the right to judge and oversee from the altar of the chain. An example is the game in the style ofEl Hormiguero which they proposed to the audience in the news Monday evening following the imprisonment of Santos Cerdán. They revealed the famous Ass or elbow? of Pablo Motos. Presenter Roberto Blázquez, in front of a photo montage of eight different politicians, raised this riddle to the spectators: We now propose a challenge: street or jail? Observe these faces, all known, all corrupt. Or alleged corrupt. Today, July 1, 2025, do you know who are imprisoned and who sleeps at home?“. The game was broken down. They projected an image of the politicians of the PP Ignacio González and Francisco Granados. Under their names they put the years in prison that had fallen to them, and the presenter asked the audience: Street or prison?“. And after some explanations about their cases, he announced that they were both on the street (before the prison). The list was continued. It was the turn of Eduardo Zaplana.”Street or prison?”, repeated with the enthusiasm of a contest. “Calle, He solved. And he remembered the time he spent in prison and the reasons for health that allowed him to leave. Then they put the pictures of Luis Bárcenas and Rodrigo Rato. Street or prison?“The presenter reiterated. Calle”, confirmed. Of all of them, they put the pictures of when they went to prison or came out. Blázquez continued: The former presidents of the Junta de Andalucía Manuel Chaves and José Antonio Griñán“. And the same litany:“Street or prison?“And he appealed in the case of the ERO and how the Constitutional was finally annulled their sentence and, officially, they did not show corruption in his file.. Calle”, concluded with face of circumstances. Finally, the turn of Jordi Pujol, who has not yet been tried or convicted, but added to the fat pile. Under the photo of Jordi Pujol he was attributed to him eight months in prison. Blázquez made a whole wholesale to the whole family: Street or prison? All to the street!“, He said. And then he made a wrong story about Pujol children who had gone through the prison, confusing Jordi Junior with Oriol. But everything is home, and appealed to the future trial to know the final solution of his game Street or prison? That reality does not break the pastime of the news. Because this is the worst: it is not a program of entertainment and wrapping that makes strong but an informative that, where, with so much play and so much ideology, it ends up misinforming.
