The tension between Jonatan Viale and Viviana Canosa stopped being a rumor in the environment and became an open clash that exposes, once again, how the rift also divides the media themselves. The conflict broke out on November 13, 2025, when Canosa, from his cycle on Carnaval Stream, harshly questioned a comment by Viale about the Trial of the Juntas. He had compared it to the Cuadernos cause by saying: “The Trial of the Juntas lasted seven and a half months… they want to take this to 2030.”
Upon finding out, the host reacted without half measures: “I understand that you hate Kirchnerism, but you cannot compare one thing with the other. This comparison with the Trial of the Juntas seemed tremendous to me, with what it meant for Argentina.” In his statement, he maintained that the analogy blurred the historical dimension of the process that judged those responsible for the last dictatorship.
Far from calming down, the episode led to new criticism. According to several media outlets, Canosa launched an “unexpected attack” days later, reinforcing his position and adding a tone of public catharsis that intensified the media fight. Although there was no direct response from Viale, the discomfort remained.
The conflict not only exposes differences in style between both journalists — he, more analytical and confrontational; her, more emotional and direct—but also opposing readings on how to approach politics and recent history from the screen. The crossover impacted its audiences and reactivated internal debates in the media ecosystem.
Added to all this was a recent scene: in Martín Fierro, several chroniclers approached Viale to ask for a statement about Canosa. He avoided all the questions and did not want to speak, a gesture that ended up functioning as an answer in itself. The fight, for now, does not seem closed. And in an increasingly tense media climate, any new phrase can rekindle the rift that has already been exposed.
