Overview
- The Council of TVE journalists concluded in a report published January 13 that 'Mañaneros 360' and 'Malas Lenguas' repeatedly breach RTVE’s information standards.
- Presenters Javier Ruiz and Jesús Cintora are described as exhibiting partisan bias and failing to moderate discussions with the neutrality expected at the public broadcaster.
- The review highlights a May 30, 2025 segment that spread a debunked claim about a Guardia Civil UCO agent allegedly plotting to attack Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
- Editorial accountability is characterized as opaque, with decisions attributed to people outside RTVE after the Council said it could not identify the real responsible editors.
- After more than 100 complaints, the Council urges subjecting outsourced shows to the same standards as news programs and potentially internalizing them, while RTVE’s leadership declined comment and did not respond during the inquiry.
