Susanna Griso defended Pablo Motorcycles attacks by David Broncano and TVE. The presenter of Public mirror (Antena 3) echoed, this Tuesday, the conflict between his company and the public channel after the accusation of the presenter of La Revuelta The anthill to play badly with the guests and to prevent, through bad practices, that the guests attend the program of the public entity first. Motos responded on Monday, saying TVE had engaged in “professional misconduct” by broadcasting a “distorted version” of what happened. Griso wanted to emphasize that he joins his colleague from Atresmedia, saying that: “A media that claims to fight against hoaxes, the first thing it must do is apply this rule, it must call the other party and compare information.

On Tuesday 21, Espejo Público echoed the controversy and the presenter, Susanna Griso, wanted to start by explaining how things work within the media regarding interviews. “The truth is that during all the years of Espejo, and there are now almost 20, many of the people interviewed were fired at the last minute. These are the rules of the journalism game, everyone wants to have the first interview and I want the first, it’s common in the profession. This program also does not charge a fee and it is difficult to compete with other programs that do.
And finally, Griso attacked TVE: “And we know, as Pablo Motos said, that RTVE did not call Atresmedia to verify and know the details of what happened. I say this because a media outlet that claims to fight hoaxes, the first thing it must do is apply this rule, it must call the other party and compare the information.
Summary of the controversy
On Thursday, November 21, after a week during which he had lost hearings every day against The anthillDavid Broncano groaned in front of his audience because, as he himself admitted, there would be no interview that evening. “We were going to bring Jorge Martínthe Moto GP champion, is indeed down in the locker room, but they called him and pressured him not to come out. “After so many years, it’s time to talk about it.”
The new Spanish MotoGP world champion preferred not to answer questions from Broncano, who gave a long speech explaining the absence of the new Aprilia rider. “Half an hour before starting the program, they told us that in The anthill They found out. “They don’t want anyone to come here before there and they pulled the strings,” the comedian said. They have their way of putting pressure on these things and Jorge told us he couldn’t come. They did what they could do. He told us: I can’t go to the show because certain things might happen. Today is not the first time this has happened, which is why we decided to talk about it directly. The program was dismantled because our current work was ruined. This is something that has been happening since La Resistencia. Some guests have said so. There has always been this type of game.”
As soon as this happened in The revoltof the official account in The anthill A brief statement was released explaining the situation: “It was a little misunderstanding. Two weeks before the final, we agreed to have Jorge Martín exclusively on our program. Today, one of their representatives made a mistake by changing the planned visit with another pilot. After what happened, Dorna, the organizing company of the Motorcycle World Championship, contacted representatives to resolve the situation.
But the controversy, even if it may seem ridiculous, was used by TVE to campaign against competition. Remember that Broncano was handpicked by Moncloa to weaken Pablo Motos, still very opposed to Pedro Sanchez.
On Monday 26, Pablo Motos broke his silence on this order, stating that: “First of all, I want to apologize to the public for everything that is happening with Aldama’s confession and all the government involvement and from DANA management, Having to talk about managing an interview makes me a little hesitant but I need to establish the truth. (…) What happened with the interview? We have had the agreed interview with Jorge Martín since October 29. It was November 27. We had agreed with his team to interview him if he was proclaimed champion and also if not. We were surprised when we watched a video and saw that it was going The revolt. We did what any professional would do and called his team and they told us that there was a lack of coordination between the people managing Jorge’s schedule. Jorge conducted the interview and it was recorded, hidden but only known to independent media. I would not be here to give this explanation which happens every day if things were not told as they are not, and even less if this distorted version was broadcast on a public channel. A network that we all paid for and decided this topic was one of the most important news stories around. I’m not exaggerating. What was just a misunderstanding was transformed into a major news item by a News. Honestly, I think there’s more important news. It is very strange that no one from TVE called us. We find it hard to believe that there is nothing behind all this. “It makes us sad that an issue like this is a state issue.”
