Malas Lenguas

'Malas Lenguas' is a news magazine program broadcast on RTVE (Spanish public broadcaster). Hosted by Jesús Cintora, it premiered in 2025 and quickly became a successful afternoon show known for its journalistic rigor and critical spirit. Initially broadcast on both La 2 and La 1, its success has led to the addition of another broadcast time. However, 'Malas Lenguas' is currently newsworthy due to a critical report from TVE's own news council. The report accused the program (along with 'Mañaneros 360') of potentially amplifying hate speech and contributing to societal polarization. RTVE's president, José Pablo López, highlighted this accusation as particularly serious. The news council has since agreed to revise its harsh assessment. The program's relevance lies in its popularity and the debate surrounding its editorial content and its role in shaping public discourse, particularly concerning potential bias and the spread of polarizing messages.
