Viviana Canosa resigned this Friday from her program live with you which was broadcast from Monday to Friday by the signal A24. The journalist announced it on her Twitter account, where she explained the reasons for her decision: “We have had differences with the channel regarding the notion of freedom of expression. We believe that defending freedom is also defending a basic institution. We also believe that defending institutions and people are different matters, ”the journalist began, thus ending the cycle that she had started in March 2021.
And he added in his Twitter thread: “We also have a difference with the channel regarding the notion of violence. In our opinion, what generates violence is poverty, indigence, unemployment, inflation and all the disasters that we will spare ourselves mention. We are not naive. We know that communication amplifies and influences. But we do not confuse the problem with the symptom. They are not the same,” he stated.
“Our commitment is with the facts and with the truth. Our opinions and editorial line are merely ours, and we have always been willing to bear the costs of defending them,” said Canosa. And she continued with a few words for the channel authorities: “We thank A24 for giving us a screen for a year and a half. And to all the channel workers for the quality of their work and their love”.
At 9:00 p.m., when Viviana Canosa should have started her program, A24 was still on the air Marcela Pagan. The driver is in charge so you knows, the cycle that was scheduled just before the one in Canosa and that normally ends at 9 at night. But this Friday he crossed the time slot without mentioning the resignation of the driver of live with you and presented different news: a tragic accident in the Luján river; a lightning that caused the death of three tourists near the White House, in the United States; the fluctuations of the dollar…
At 9:58 p.m., the driver read the A24 statement on the air: “The channel’s editorial line is respect for institutions, people and ideas. They are of the political color that are. Scratching, attacking, insulting a person for what he thinks, for what he does or for what he says does not go hand in hand with what we want as a news signal, ”he stated.
Later, Grupo América manifested itself through the Twitter account with a statement: “Faced with the profuse diffusion of street videos taken by strangers with cell phones generating escraches with not only verbal but also physical violence against public officials, politicians and leaders in general and then uploaded to social networks. The company has made the decision not to spread them. This is due to the agitation that these unknown individuals cause with their aggressions at a time when the country requires the collaboration of all political forces and society in general to maintain social peace and respect for institutions.”
