In-depth interview with
Jorge Lanata
made for the program
Let's talk about something else,
of LN +, directed by Pablo Sirvén, left many interesting moments and definitions about the life of the journalist and writer, who avoided talking about anything.
His relationship with drugs, his fighting in the media, his incursion in the magazine Buenos Aires, his anger against Kirchnerism for Soccer for All and other questions in his biography were some of the pearls left by the PPT pilot during his interview with Sirvén.

"I do not have a porro personality"

"What did they give you and what drugs did you take?", Was Sirven's question so that Lanata could explain on his experience from subject. "When I was a child, I took amphetamines, but I never smoked a joint, I never became addicted, I do not have a common personality," the reporter said. In the 90s, along with the decade of productivity, I accepted the decade and took cocaine for 10 years. ".

As for how he abandoned this habit, Lanata said, "You have to drop the card to leave.One day, I said," Enough, it's over. "If you ask me what has left me good, I'm not telling you anything."

In explaining why people are falling into consumption, the reporter said, "People are taking drugs because the world is hurting them." One way to make the quilt is to get high, it hurts less. drugs for the weak, there are many horrible things, unfair things, I find you with difficult things, but you have to face them, the world is still hurting. "

His controversies on television

In a fragment of
Let 's talk about something else, Lanata was invited to watch some of the crosses she' d had with other characters on TV, both "ask", as Sirven said.

In the images, we see a young Lanata, in 1990, throwing the face on the journalist Mariano Grondona who was not "a coherent liberal". The reflection of the PPT driver when viewing the images was that he was actually thinking the same thing as at that time and was defining himself as a "liberal left".

Then, in the pictures, a question of Lanata is reproduced with the writer, journalist and politician Jorge Asís, of the year 1993, in the show "Key Hour". There, the journalist criticizes Argentina's ambbadador to UNESCO, his sentences with a reminder to the then president, Carlos Saúl Menem and his minister of the same day. Economy, Domingo Cavallo, that Assisi had described as "Domingo Faustino Sarmiento of the economy."

Looking at the pictures, Lanata himself said about himself: "What an badhole I am, is not it?" Then, in the pictures, Assisi refuses to say: "Verbitsky rightly surpbades you."

The third image that appears is that of Reinaldo Sietecase at the 2013 Tato Awards ceremony, where he accuses Lanata – without naming him – of being someone who "widens the crack".

His foray into Porteña magazine

At another point in the conversation, Sirven showed Lanata the photos of his participation in a Porteña Magazine magazine held in Maipo under the name of La Mapo newspaper in 2008, where the journalist had produced a humorous and current monologue. and asked if the critics of his participation had irritated him.

Lanata's response was: "TV series journalists never criticize a magazine – never – the only time in the history of journalism in the series that reporters have criticized, is when it is not the same. was me. "

"These are some turros.You know that the magazine is big, that guys are acting badly, that it's a disaster.As a company, they do not criticize the magazine.My mistake is that it's "It was too long, I did not know it was a physical effort, big theater," said the interviewee.

The attack of the La Tablada regiment and a dangerous encounter

In the Let's Talk section Another thing called "The Time Tunnel", where he is shown to the interviewee an event from the past, Jorge Lanata saw the images of the takeover of the La Tablada regiment, carried out by members of the MTP (All Movement). for the homeland), directed by Enrique Gorriarán Merlo, in January 1989.

After the pictures, Lanata told a little-known anecdote: "We (page 12, the paper he was directing at the time) had links with people from the MTP (there were people from the MTP who were working on the writing of page 12) Someone who was working with us in Congress came to tell me that he had met an army member in La Biela and that he wanted to talk to me. " that the general asks, is that you have no task, "said this person," because if you have a stain, do not go because you do not go out. I am talking about January 24, 89. We went with (Fernando) Sokolowickz to La Plata, we let the newspaper people say that if we did not come back at two o'clock in the afternoon, Armen Quilombo because 39 they sucked us or something. "

"One thing like this happens to me in terrible situations, it's that I have a huge patience, and then I fall dead, but at that moment, for me, it's like that." is an intelligence game.I was calm, the militia was calm too – it challenged his narrative Lanata – The military shot me pictures of corpses of La Tablada and told me: "Do you know this one?", "No", "This one?" No, "to another?" Oh, yes, yes. "I told him the truth. left the meeting, the guy shakes my hand and says, "This is not a confession in which I am a priest who acquits him, because you Lanata he knows that the institution has do the cross. He shakes my hand, I shake it and we leave. "

"Does the army always make the cross until today?" Asked Sirven. "I do not know," was Lanata's answer.

Clarín and Susana Giménez

"If you had been told about 15 years ago that you were going to work in the Clarín group, you would have laughed," Sirven asked.

"I have competed a lot with Clarín, Clarín is hostile to the competition, I have fought a lot with Clarín and one day, Clarín called me." For me it was a success. The most important newspaper in the country, the most important channel overnight and the radio and they said "do what you want," answered Lanata.

"Susana (Giménez) is your karma?" Was the last question.

"No, I love Susana, there was one thing I hated when the government put us in competition, it was not normal, the game changed on purpose." year, I competed on a Sunday with another mouth with Ríver and several times.I beat Boca and Ríver, it bothered me. "

"Now, if Marley wins me, if Sinatra wins me or Susana wins me, all good brother, how will I claim to be the only one to win?" Even in fart, it bothers me and more Susana. it's divine, "concluded the reporter.
