Just days before, in the same newscast, another short story spoke of the “sudden” devotion of the unemployed, the unemployed claiming calmed pray or light candles to the saints. This is the video report, uploaded to youtube by Kewban:

Predictably, the story about how teenagers’ dress should not cause “numerous examples of rejection originated in the network. On Twitter, “decency” and “TVE” were trending topic that afternoon. The tweeters criticized as anachronistic sounding mostly these councils, as seen in the tweets of Andere, Nacho Grim, Alberto and Herráez:

Actually, this is the anecdotal part of a much bigger problem. Shortly after winning the November 2011 election with an absolute majority, the Popular Party has approved a law which amended the manner of electing the board of directors of the

public broadcasting which until then required the concurrence of two thirds of the Deputies to the absolute majority enough, earning criticism from all parties, who accused the PP of turning on a television public broadcaster government.

Soon after, the new leadership of tve took up their positions, and among them, Julio Somoano as news director. Somoano from Telemadrid, chain well known for its conservatism, is a figure closely linked to the Popular Party. It replaced Fran Llorente, under whose mandate the news on TVE remained leaders in audience and received more than 200 awards.

input on the news of tve had quick impact between house staff. One of the first victims of the purge was the journalist Ana Pastor, thorough professional who among his many merits consideration with having conducted the only interview that the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has granted Western half.
