In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/05\/28\/how-many-leires-are-there-in-the-psoe-and-why-have-some-media-kept-quiet-until-now\/\">the PSOE \"plumbers\"<\/a>, who have dedicated themselves to plotting smear campaigns against the anti-corruption prosecutor's office and the Civil Guard, we must not forget that <strong>some media outlets and well-known journalists have blatantly covered up this corruption<\/strong>, acting as political commissars and betraying their duty as information professionals.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, we have seen in Spain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/07\/26\/caso-ere-la-descarada-ocultacion-hecha-por-medios-afines-al-psoe-sobre-chaves-y-grinan\/\">media outlets talking about the ERE case, a colossal corruption scandal within the PSOE<\/a>, <strong>without mentioning the word \"socialist\"<\/strong> and without making a single mention of that party, as if the scandal had no relation to it. These same media outlets <strong>have dedicated themselves to discrediting the media, journalists, and judges who have brought to light other cases of PSOE corruption<\/strong>, treating them with a cruelty that can only be explained by a way of understanding journalism typical of the propagandists of a dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>Even today, and despite everything that is being discovered, <strong>RTVE, a media outlet paid for by all taxpayers, continues to act as a propaganda organ for the PSOE<\/strong>, with political talk shows inflated with leftist sectarianism and presenters who defend the Socialists more zealously than the party's own official spokespersons. <strong>And they do this, I insist, with our money.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In view of the chasm of corruption into which the S\u00e1nchez government and his party are sinking, <strong>some left-wing media outlets have begun to abandon ship<\/strong> by rushing to report on the Santos Cerd\u00e1n case, after those outlets spent months trying to cover up that and other scandals. <strong>Now they are trying to make us forget what they did<\/strong>, as if it were easy to forget that these journalists and media outlets <strong>betrayed their duty to oversee power to become the voice of their master.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The logical question is: <strong>What will happen to this veritable media mafia that covered up socialist corruption?<\/strong> In any other democratic country, the prestige of these journalists and these media outlets would have been so damaged that they would have no future in the world of information. However, Spain is different: <strong>Here, a network of favors from the left to the media has been created that persists even when the socialists leave power,<\/strong> as has happened in Andalusia, where the Popular Party has left in place the PSOE propagandists who controlled Canal Sur during the socialist era.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the private media, <strong>Will readers hold them accountable for having deceived them for years?<\/strong> I see this as unlikely, not only because it is easier to deceive a person than to convince them that they have been deceived, but also because <strong>Many Socialist voters share with their leaders the idea that anything goes to prevent the right from governing<\/strong>, including covering up and supporting the corruption of left-wing parties. So <strong>The only way for all this not to come at a price is for the rest of us to remind them every day what they have been doing<\/strong>, through social media and on television and radio talk shows. <strong>Let's get to work.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Efe.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The outbreak of socialist corruption in Spain could not only have devastating consequences for Pedro S\u00e1nchez and his party, the PSOE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10720],"tags":[693,2721,1291,10796],"class_list":["post-59904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-communication","tag-psoe","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-rtve","tag-socialism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59904"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59904\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
