One of the main current focuses for years has been the reactions of celebrities on social networks. Its immediacy allows us to learn about opinions, events and controversies first-hand, even long before conventional media. However, this can also be accompanied by hoaxes, lies or even manipulations, most of the time involving fake profiles that spread misinformation.
A debate that ended heatedly and in the worst possible way this Thursday morning in Espejo Público. It all started on yesterday's program, when Nando Escribano shared the names of some celebrities with purchased or fake followers, including one of his collaborators, Joaquín Torres. However, the architect did not react well to these words and in the Más Espejo section he ended up abandoning the program.
Escribano intervened today to try to rectify his words: “We all have followers who are inactive, who do not use the networks, and then the platforms may consider them false. Yesterday we said a word that we want to rectify because, obviously, we are not aware of it, and it is the word 'buy'. This program has no evidence that absolutely anyone we named yesterday has purchased, we were talking about people who are inactive on social networks.”
Even so, Torres did not buy this version and harshly attacked the journalist and the magazine. “When the headline says 'bought profiles' written in large letters, the fact that you are now talking about profiles that are not used is laughable, making fun of the viewer and us. Playing with a professional profile like mine… I dedicate myself to architecture. All the commentators are full of mouths saying that politics has been filled with political professionals,” he replied.
“Well, television has been filled with characters who are dedicated to television and who have no other job or benefit. Of course it hurts me to be compared to Carmen Lomana or Carmen Camila or whatever that girl's name is,” he continued, criticizing the ageism of the program and declaring this incident as “abusive,” before having a small run-in with Susanna Griso when she was leaving the show. dish. Some time later, the architect published a statement on Instagram.
“I'm leaving Espejo Público for giving false information about my Instagram profile. I am leaving because I no longer trust his direction and do not trust the veracity of what is said and done,” he said, criticizing Alberto Díaz's direction and the drift that the space was taking. “They play with the power that a camera gives them. They play with the audience and have forgotten what The Truth is. They look for spectacle at the expense of everything and everyone,” he added.
