00:00Hello, two editorial headlines gave us gray hairs, well, where did they give me gray hairs, but let's just say in our eyebrows.
00:06Yes, we did receive a very discreet reprimand, which was addressed immediately because it was indefinable.
00:12And another one that is highly promoted and viral on social media, but highly debatable,
00:17and it seemed more like one of those political strategies to leave conspiracy theories hanging in the air.
00:23The first one, as I said, was really a commonplace that explains the use of an improper figure of speech,
00:30But of course, that doesn't excuse him.
00:32Very early in the morning, a reprimand arrived via direct message from a columnist at the publishing house.
00:39Piedad Bonet, one of the most outstanding poets in this country, who was recently awarded a prize,
00:47And I confess that I felt the electric shock immediately.
00:50Piedad was quite right to complain about the title of our much-discussed editorial
00:57in which we demanded that former President Petro offer concrete answers
01:04to the recent accusations from some of its most prominent members of government,
01:10instead of launching into his usual tirade,
01:14We would have called his rhetorical ramblings poems.
01:20Oh, Fidel, Piedad wrote to me, the title of today's editorial is "Ours".
01:25It perpetuates the idea that poetry is synonymous with saccharine, useless, powerless words.
01:32What Petro says is empty rhetoric; poetry is something else, a profound and revealing word.
01:40Nothing to discuss about already changing that headline and offering apologies in the digital version.
01:45But in the printed version, the former president of Poeta Sincer did graduate.
01:51The second reprimand came on social media, a public statement, which served to wake up the winery workers.
01:58It went viral, but in this case it was more the fact that they were red that surprised us.
02:05From a quick reading, not of the editorial, but of its title and on social media as well.
02:11The ambassador to the UN, Mauricio Gaona, accused us of misrepresenting it.
02:16because he assumed that we were approving our editorial position for him.
02:22That headline said, Ambassador Gaona, the peace agreement is indeed a model for the world.
02:28That emphasis with the accented "yes" was already a sign that he was contradicting himself.
02:35that he has been told.
02:36Everywhere, even in the social media post that the ambassador retweeted with his statement,
02:42He said it was the newspaper's editorial and not a news item that had already been published the day before.
02:50With the title, and I quote, the peace agreement is not a model for the world,
02:55Gaona before the United Nations (I'll close the quotes).
02:58In fact, those same quotation marks appeared in the editorial.
03:03That is to say, even without reading the editorial, as it is clear that the ambassador did not read it.
03:08Before launching his accusatory rebuke, all those signs made it very clear
03:15which was an interpellation of his words directed at him.
03:19However, the ambassador, I want to assume in good faith, decided that the title was a quote of his own.
03:24and accused us of misrepresenting the facts. Amid the political shouting from the wineries,
03:31On both sides, by the way, I found the linguistic discussion more interesting.
03:36which emerged from using a colon instead of a comma
03:40to separate the ambassador's name from our message to him.
03:45The Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Doubts absolves us.
03:48And in fact, I advise using it in Spanish. It's customary for people to use a comma.
03:54instead of a colon in greeting formulas.
03:58The only slip-up there is that it also says that a capital letter should follow the colon.
04:03And we write it in lowercase.
04:06Which, then, is a tiny slip that does not change its meaning.
04:10So, as we were saying, when the use is for a quote, it is necessary to put the quote in quotation marks.
04:16So, in this case, obviously, he didn't have them because it wasn't a date, but our message to him.
04:23In short, I think there was a misreading.
04:26rather a lack of reading, in the senseless scandal they want to create.
04:33And I'll end with a gentle reprimand from @ Oscar N. D. Martínez,
04:37who had his story, although not enough to be nominated for the awards last time,
04:43Guillermo Cano de Revuelca leads the way this year.
04:47And it was because he had called the defeated Brazilian presidential candidate an exile.
04:53Flavio Bolsonaro, upon arriving in the United States.
04:56Good point, but I don't think we'll qualify for the prize.
05:00because, although he certainly fled from Brazilian justice,
05:05That, therefore, does not take away from his status as an exile, as he was received in the northern country.
05:11We can discuss whether or not the legal process against him in Brazil is fair,
05:16But the United States has still received him as an exile.
05:19And, in fact, many of the examples of Latin American exiles,
05:24That article, which, by the way, is originally from the New York Times, was about...
05:28and it was titled that way in the content licensing service we have with them,
05:34Well, they have come to the United States fleeing from justice in their countries.
05:40Well, that's all.
05:41See you.
05:41Bye.
05:49Bye.
