New names continue to play on the new Spanish television. This time is that of Jesús Cintora. The presenter has been chosen by the corporation to be in charge of ‘bad languages’, a program for the afternoons of the 2 in which it will allegedly in charge of denying bulos and fighting ‘fake news’, as he has advanced ‘The Digital Confidential’. The contract would not be closed yet and although the corporation is closing and finalizing details of the format, the name already sounds in RTVE’s halls.
The presenter has been in many occasions wrapped in controversy precisely for being questioned in his bias in his way of doing journalism. Mediaset ceased Cintora in May 2015 to maintain its commitment to “plurality and objective information.” “Mediaset has the clear objective of informing, not to train, the spectators through a pluralism with which to give voice to absolutely all political opinions and with presenters who treat the information objectively,” said the communication group in a statement. After his dismissal of four, Cintora signed for laSexta to present programs such as ‘Road and Manta’ and to collaborate in spaces such as ‘Al Red Vivo’, ‘Liarla Pardo’ or ‘Lasxta Noche’.
His passage through 1 with ‘clear things’ did not go unnoticed. Its closure, with eight months of broadcast and several controversies in between, was sounded among politicians. Joan Baldoví, from Compromís, said goodbye in the Cintora program: «I insist once again, TVE would have to make a thought of reflection. I don’t see why a program that works has to disappear ». This was Cintora’s response: «Why will it be? Deputy Joan Baldoví, thank you very much. We will talk ». “Why will it be?” Baldoví repeated.
The then president of RTVE, José Manuel Pérez Tornero, explained that the so-called ‘info-entertainment’ programs (which mix information and entertainment) will not continue on the TVE grill, although he did not mention the space explicitly. «We must distinguish between quality journalism and Infoshow. And on the other hand, internal and external production. I think the news are editorial responsibility of RTVE, ”replied the president.
Thus justified the closure of the program during an appearance in Congress: «Reitero: the journalism that RTVE has to do is public, valuable, with professionalism. Everything that is banalization, show or show should not be on TVE, but fundamentally in the news. The law says that information is internal responsibility and I assure you that we will follow the report that the CNMC has launched on that idea. It is a general feeling among the professionals of the house that quality journalism ».
RTVE has found in misinformation a space to grow and get the ‘fake news’ speech. One of the last projects is the creation of a current channel in Tiktok aimed at the young public, with the aim of offering verified information on a platform where the rise of false news is a problem that goes to more. On the other hand RTVE presumed about verifies, the corporation tool to combat misinformation, which in the last year has denied more than 460 bulos.
