Ruben Amon, the moderate who wanted to be moderated

El ConfidencialIndependent🔒Center9 hr. ago

The article discusses Rubén Amón, a journalist labeled as 'moderate' by Spain's Interior Ministry in a secret dossier. The author reflects on the term 'moderate,' finding it both dignified and politically loaded, suggesting it implies neutrality or lack of strong ideological stance. He contrasts this with terms like 'equidistant' or 'tardy,' which carry more contemporary criticism. The piece critiques the practice of the Interior Ministry in classifying journalists into ideological categories such as 'pro-Government,' 'anti-Sánchez,' or 'radical.' While the ministry claims the document was not ordered by the current minister, the author questions whether this absolves them of responsibility for actions taken under their authority.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a critical perspective on the classification of journalists by the Spanish Interior Ministry but does not exhibit overt bias toward any specific political side. It uses reflective and analytical language rather than explicitly favoring one ideology over another.
