Viviana Canosa is, once again, the protagonist of a scandal. The host who knew how to grow her program on A24 by dint of explosive statements, indignation and verbal aggression resigned from the signal and claimed to have been censored. On her networks, she spoke of differences with the authorities of the channel “regarding the notion of freedom of expression” and, according to her version, the trigger for the conflict was that they did not allow her to air a video with boos to Serge Massa in Cañada de Gómez, Santa Fe. The channel redoubled its bet. Own Daniel Villa came out to give his explanations, said that the request not to broadcast escraches had been lowered to all drivers and that Canosa had had an “untimely and disproportionate” reaction. The truth is that the intern in Grupo América exploded and made it clear that television is the show of hypocrisy.
Grupo América’s explanation, which was made known through an official statement, is that the request to grey-haired it wasn’t personal. In fact, they explained that in the last week they had asked other drivers not to give space to the escraches towards any leader. In just a few days, escraches to Juan Grabois, Facundo Moyano, Luis D’Elía, Patricia Bullrich, Myriam Bregman and Ginés González García had gone viral and the authorities of the signal considered that replicating them would fuel social chaos. The version was corroborated by other journalists from the company.

However, the democratic spirit of Grupo América seems like painted cardboard when an archive is made of the countless number of attacks and fakes that grey-haired reproduced, without any problem, during the year and a half that it was in A24. To give some examples: he said that Pedro’s “Wado” was analyzing taking away properties from those who had more than one for the benefit of those who have none. Fake. That the Chilean Congress had approved a law to replace the word “woman” with “menstruating person”. Fake. He showed old images of Victoria Tolosa Paz, passing them off as current. Misleading. He assured that in Denmark whoever receives state aid is disqualified from voting. Fake. In the midst of a pandemic, he maintained that they put metals in the Covid tests so that they would give a positive result. Obviously false. On more than one occasion, when talking about feminism, he argued that the approval of abortion was the prelude to the legitimization of pedophilia. Incoherent. In an interview with Franco Rinaldi he showed an apocryphal image of a supposed note from La Izquierda Diario that never existed. And all kinds of personal aggressions are added to the infinite list. He referred to trans women as masculine, made fun of Fabiola Yáñez as soon as she had had her baby and even questioned her cesarean section. He insulted and screamed until exhaustion.

Grupo América supported her despite all the criticism and, at the time, they defended her saying that she was the one who best measured. However, now something is broken. grey-haired She barely made a few publications on networks without giving more details, but from her environment they hinted that not letting her transmit Massa’s video was an act of prior censorship that responds to the friendship of the Minister of Economy with Vila, the company’s main shareholder. Her detractors, on the other hand, speculate that the driver was looking for an excuse to leave for some time, although no one can confirm if her future will be in the media or in politics.
Output details. The news of the resignation of grey-haired It surprised the audiences, but also the entire Grupo América. At 8:50 p.m. on Friday the 5th, from the production they asked the hosts of “So you know”, Ed Zunino Y Marcela Pagan, if they could stay until 11 p.m. so that the programming would not be empty. He had personal commitments, but she accepted it. Immediately, the topic became a trending topic on the networks and the crossed messages exploded.

In the last program of the day, “Loose Animals”, the first explanation appeared. grey-haired had already tweeted about the differences in terms of freedom of expression and had leaked that everything responded to the famous video of Massa. As it turned out, Alexander Fantinus He did not want to read the company statement and delegated that task to Mariano Cuneo Libaronaa columnist for the cycle and also a lawyer for the company.
In any case, in the corridors of the channel there is a certain anger towards grey-haired. Zunino He was the one who spoke in public, first on networks and then in an editorial. The journalist assured: “I personally know that it was suggested to us from the A24 content management that publishing escraches does not sit well with the company. And so it was that this week, when there were many escraches, we said ‘it’s okay, if they don’t like it, we won’t publish it,’ because the notion is that it can generate and reproduce violence, “he said on air on Saturday. Although he aligned himself with the business version, he let out a criticism: “I do have something to say to the channel authorities on the Canosa issue and I hope I don’t have to talk about this issue again: raise crows and they will eat your eyes” .
Monday was the day of the great mystery: after all the weekend there was speculation about whether grey-haired whether he returned to his program or not, the signal decided to mark his position in a more than suggestive way. At 9:00 p.m., at the time the host had to go on the air, for 10 minutes she saw her desk on the screen with an empty chair and a plinth that said “freedom of expression.” In addition, they broadcast fragments of her editorials with the aim of demonstrating that they had never censored her.
These days the legal situation of grey-haired is not resolved. As confirmed to NEWS from the Legal Department of America, Canosa had a contract, through the production company Morfeo, valid until December 31, 2024. “On Monday, the channel made available the studios and the space for the program ‘ Viviana with you,’ but she didn’t show up for work,” they said.
“The company is doing a legal analysis of the situation and waiting for Viviana Canosa to present herself to fulfill her contract. We have received a call from her lawyer, without knowing yet the statement that said professional will make at the meeting to be held, “they added. Will there be a trial or settlement? Nobody knows.
Speculations. The big question is if Canosa wanted to leave the channel or if the signal forced his exit. In the corridors of America, one fact stands out: until recently, who was in charge of the signal in fact was Agustín Vila, Daniel’s son. However, his father recently decided to return to being the highest authority of the signal and the scandals began. “Daniel arrived and first he crossed paths with (Jorge) Rial and now he cut Canosa,” sources told the signal.
The truth is that everything seems to indicate that the break between the driver and the authorities of the channel may respond to something more than what was told. Without going any further, for example, on June 27 Canosa published an editorial, “The Wrath of God”, which today contradicts herself and also the company’s directors.
That day, Canosa aired two videos of escraches to Ginés González García. With the background images, he maintained: “May God forgive me, he deserves it again.” At that time, weren’t the escraches an attempt against social peace? A few minutes later, while railing against feminism, she recounted that she had asked management to show a video of an abortion. “I had like 20 videos, some worse than others, of how they dismember the boys. They cut off his legs, they cut off his head, they cut them to pieces. Later I sent others a little more light. One was a clip from a movie, the other was a cartoon. And they told me no because the video was in bad taste, that we could have legal problems, and because of the editorial criteria of the channel. And well, I got it. They have every right to tell me not to do it,” she assured. That day the channel was in its right to give you directions?
That is why speculation grows that he wanted to leave. The first thing that transpired was that it would have a place in the programming of La Nación+. “This year we are not going to touch the programming,” they responded to NEWS. There was also talk of his alleged landing in politics. “There is nothing,” they responded from Javier Milei’s space. In the surroundings of Patricia Bullrich, a close friend of the driver, they did not respond.
Far from being just an internal business matter, the issue grew to the point where Waldo Wolf, the chairman of the Chamber of Deputies’ Freedom of Expression Committee, said it should be dealt with institutionally. “I would love for them to come to the commission and I am waiting for them to answer me. I would like to hear the position of each one before establishing a position. When it was Rial and Vila we did the same thing, but none of them came. It is interesting because they air everything on networks, they ask you to intervene and then they do not appear, ”he told NEWS.
