"Air traffic controllers are calling the only independant TV on Spain, Intereconomia, to inform of this situation as no other media source is independent from goverment."

You must be joking! Or making stuff up.

There are more independent TV stations in Spain yet they too lay the blame entirely with the ATCO's.

As for Intereconomia, it is a 'catholic conservative' network which openly defends the former dictatorial regime of Francisco Franco, aligns itself with ultra-rightwing groups and parties and is openly against homosexuality (up to the point that they received a € 100,000 fine for openly discriminating against homosexuals during a broadcast earlier this year).

Intereconomia resorts to 'creative editing' of video footage to make others look bad and has been exposed doing so.

Despite Intereconomia's claims to be against corruption, they defend a PP politician accused of corruption (and against who several investigations are still under way) who defends having accumulated loads of money in recent years by claiming that he 'won the Spanish Lottery 4 times in 5 years'.

Spanish ATCO's are really grasping at straws if they believe that ONLY Intereconomia is telling the truth about their situation.
