With the same philosophy (to call it watery) and that self-confidence displayed by Vice President Carmen Calvo (“not pretty, no, feminism is not for everyone, we socialists have worked it out”), the PSOE and, above all, all, Podemos, consider that public television, Spanish, is not everyone’s but theirs. As if they didn’t have enough with the private ones, where the dominance of the left and political correctness is overwhelming, to the point that any slightest hint of criticism of the Government in the news (Vicente Vallés) or in the entertainment programs (Pablo Motos) serves to start against the perpetrators of such audacity the typical lynching campaign on the networks in order to cow them and ‘come to their senses’. The landing of Jesús Cintora with ‘Las cosas clear’ represented a clear bet, strongly ideological, by a journalist known for his positions to the left of the left. And the episode of the poster with the news that Princess Eleanor will study at a school in Wales (‘Eleanor leaves Spain, like her grandfather’) starring a screenwriter, Bernat Barrachina, who yesterday joked about the matter ( «They have fired me, like Leonor’s grandfather») also offers us some clue about what is currently going on in the public body. First, because it occurs to someone that such a poster can be hung as if it were such a thing on a chain that is property of the State and in which, it is supposed, the Head of that State as well as the consecrated system should be taken care of by the Constitution, the parliamentary monarchy. The quick reaction of Podemos to criticize the removal of Barrachina is another conclusive proof of what the intentions of the populists / communists are towards a television that they believe is their property because they belong to everyone.
The left has always been clear that the first battle to be won -before the one at the polls- is the cultural one. And that implies the control of the classrooms, both in schools and in universities, winning over intellectuals (actors, artists, thinkers …) and having the media at their service. Meanwhile, the right – more liberal, less interventionist – entrusts everything to the elections (naively) without realizing the indoctrination work carried out by its opponents. As an example, the supposed “Illa effect” is nothing more than what is expected to have been due to having been on television a lot during the pandemic, regardless of whether its management has been good, bad or catastrophic. For the Government of Sánchez & Iglesias, a domesticated TVE is a matter of State.
