La Sexta broadcasts a night about Franco in the midst of the scandal over socialist corruption

This morning I spoke here about knee-jerk journalism in Spain and today we have a clear example of this phenomenon.

We need to start being ruthless with knee-jerk journalism in Spain
Sanchez is cornered by socialist corruption and his only defense is already burned

In the midst of the socialist corruption scandal following Víctor de Aldama's judicial statement this Thursday, the pro-government channel La Sexta has decided to schedule its entire evening tonight to talk about Franco, a historical figure who is regularly used by the Spanish left as a wild card to cover up any uncomfortable issue, to settle any debate or to stigmatize anyone who disagrees with the ideological dogmas of the left.

To do this, La Sexta will use its program "Equipo de Investigación" with a 4-hour broadcast talking about Francoism. A curious monograph on a dictator who died almost half a century ago and which serves this channel close to the PSOE to avoid talking about the socialist corruption that is making many headlines today. To do this, they resort to episodes that are not even new. The last space scheduled for today about Franco was broadcast five years ago.

It should be noted that this programme has been broadcast on La Sexta for 13 years and in all this time it has only made two mentions of the PSOE on its Twitter account, neither of them related to the corruption cases of that party. La Sexta's peculiar investigative programme has not dedicated a single episode to the corruption scandals affecting Pedro Sánchez's government.

Coincidentally, the presenter of the show, Glòria Serra, has only mentioned the PSOE twice on Twitter since Pedro Sánchez took office, and one of them was to link an article praising the socialist leader. It is understandable that she has not had time to devote more attention to the PSOE and its corruption cases. She would be too busy investigating Franco.
