Eduardo Feinmann versus Marcela Pagano: the dollar of contention

“To top it off, what they said about the rise in the dollar when the previous government was in place. There were journalists who cried on television when the dollar was at 40 or 42. Economic journalists, there was a woman in TN who said: the dollar at 42! the dollar at 42! Now with the dollar at 420, 430 or whatever, they don’t say anything. Because of poverty? Keep your mouth shut, no one sheds a tear,” he recalled. Eduardo Feinman, in his journalistic program of LN +, referring to Marcela Pagano.

The rise in the dollar this week revived old discussions between the two journalists. Each one, in their respective media, held a few moments of air to refer to the other. In his A24 program, minutes before interviewing the Neuquén governor-elect rolo figueroa, Marcela Pagano responded to Feinmann.

“I want to take a minute to tell Eduardo Feinmann, that you can see that he is nervous, that he stop quoting me, please, that he do his program. What’s the matter, sir? Let the journalists work. Looking at the camera I tell you: today the dollar touched zero more than the 42 that warned us about Macri. Do you know the diference? At that time, it was believed that there was an economic model with which it was possible to project the capture of reserves and investment. We journalists were not the ones who installed the rain of investments that were going to come in the second semester”, the journalist specialized in economics pointed out forcefully.

It is not the first time that this media confrontation between these two news journalists has occurred. In September of last year, Eduardo Feinman referred about Grupo América lawyer, Martin Sierra, ex-partner of Marcela Pagano. After showing a clip about Alberto Fernandez Speaking in an old cycle of Public TV, which Pagano hosted, Feinmann sent her greetings, with an ironic gesture: “The first lady, very good. We send greetings to Mr. Sierra. Political commissioner Sierra, we send you a very big greeting from here”.

“Updating the macho and misogynistic discourse is part of the challenge that I pose to these two referents who have a significant audience on a channel. Stop associating a woman’s CV with the sheet where she sleeps. They delay. I have no idea what personal problems they had, if they were censored, in any case, tell them because I am not aware either. My answer in the place that has to be: here, not a news channel. I am not first lady nor will I be anyone’s first lady, I am a woman, not a thing”, was the immediate response via Twitter from the Grupo América journalist.

Finally, at that moment, Marcela Pagano concluded: “I am very sorry as a woman and as a worker that I am from the media, that two referents of opinion on a news channel in prime time They discredit the place that I earned working at América TV, for having an enmity with who knew how to be my partner”.
