Cristina Pardo reacted strongly to the social media backlash that erupted in recent hours. The phrase that allegedly linked her to a controversial remark was circulating on laSexta, and a videopad of the moment spread quickly on X, drawing wide attention to the incident.
Amador GualslaSexta, described as a special envoy in Tel Aviv, appeared on the program to deliver the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The report focused on the massacre at the Kfar Aza kibbutz, describing graphic fatalities and the brutal aftermath. In the midst of the broadcast, a bystander’s microphone caught a collaborator commenting on a colleague’s past, saying, rather abruptly, something about babies. The clip later circulated with altered captions that attributed the remark to Pardo, though the original context suggested the quote did not come from her.
A promotional trailer posed the question, asking whether Cristina Pardo had instructed Iñaki López to omit mention of the babies, and it framed the issue as one of sensationalism and carelessness. The rhetoric raised questions about editorial boundaries and the ethics of reporting on traumatic events, prompting discussions about how accurate quotes are presented to audiences.
Pardo did not stay silent. She addressed the accusation directly from her social media profile, explaining that at the time the team was still verifying the details of the infant report. Some outlets later suggested that the Israeli army had not confirmed the information, reinforcing the need for cautious reporting in fast-moving news cycles.
She asserted that the team was attempting to verify the most sensitive aspect of the story and that, upon reviewing the broadcast, it became clear that the misinterpretation had occurred. The broadcaster emphasized that the team members were not directing words toward Iñaki López and that the focus remained on ensuring accuracy under intense scrutiny. Pardo expressed concern about the ease with which misstatements can spread and the resulting damage to reputations, urging viewers to wait for confirmed details before drawing conclusions.
