Overview
- During A24’s newscast, a graphic stated “Katy Perry visitó a Cristina en su domiciliaria” as the program showed a fabricated photo of the singer with the ex-president at San José 1111.
- Eduardo Feinmann reacted on air with, “¿Esa cárcel es una joda?”, before later telling viewers the image was fake and correcting the report.
- Chequeado and Reverso (AFP) verified that the montage combined a real photo of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner with Ernesto Samper and an unrelated 2023 image of Katy Perry from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
- The composite spread after Perry’s Buenos Aires appearances, including lifting a portrait of Eva Perón and singing a line from Don’t Cry for Me Argentina at the Movistar Arena.
- News outlets highlighted A24’s failure to verify the user-generated image before airing it, and reports so far note no sanctions or legal actions related to the broadcast.
