Abstract

The objective of this briefing, based on a more extensive investigation is to show that the Spanish media has played an important role in prolonging the speculation in the real estate sector. For the first time it is proven that the guilt for the crisis in the real estate sector is also up to the media. And not just political influence was implied in the disinformation. Since the two leading general papers have been analyzed (EL MUNDO y EL PAIS), representing the main political ideologies in Spain, it is shown that noone can be blamed we all are responsible for this crisis and we all have to find ways to get out of it.
