El 1 de mayo de 1998, Aznar llama a La Moncloa a Federico Jim\u00e9nez Losantos y Luis Herrero para que rompan con su gran amigo Antonio Herrero. Al d\u00eda siguiente, Antonio, el gran renovador de la radio espa\u00f1ola, est\u00e1 muerto. Tras unos funerales multitudinarios y emocionantes, Luis y Federico tendr\u00e1n que hacerse cargo de los dos grandes programas de la COPE para salvar el legado de libertad de Antonio y la continuidad de la cadena. As\u00ed comienza este libro trepidante y vertiginoso, que desvela las verdaderas relaciones entre la pol\u00edtica y los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n en Espa\u00f1a, todas las operaciones de fusi\u00f3n multimedia auspiciadas por el Poder, la lucha por la independencia de algunos periodistas y las tentaciones continuas que les rodean. Nunca en Espa\u00f1a se ha escrito un libro tan descarnadamente sincero sobre los entresijos del Cuarto Poder. Y literariamente, nunca Jim\u00e9nez Losantos hab\u00eda desplegado una prosa tan acerada, humor\u00edstica, descarnada, brillant\u00edsima. Es, quiz\u00e1s, el mejor de sus libros. Pero la verdadera protagonista de este libro de memorias y ensayo, de confesi\u00f3n y an\u00e1lisis, es la COPE. El cura don Bernardo, Barriocanal, Rouco, Bl\u00e1zquez, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Garc\u00eda, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Abell\u00e1n, C\u00e9sar Vidal, Luis Herrero, Pedro J. Ram\u00edrez, Nemesio Fern\u00e1ndez-Cuesta, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Lara, Aznar, Zapatero, Esperanza Aguirre, Gallard\u00f3n, Polanco o Carod Rovira son, entre otros muchos, los personajes que entran y salen en este relato que se lee como una novela y tiene el peso de un acta notarial. Es tambi\u00e9n el curso m\u00e1s claro que se haya editado nunca sobre c\u00f3mo se crean dos grandes programas de radio, La linterna y La ma\u00f1ana, que han convertido a Jim\u00e9nez Losantos en el periodista m\u00e1s pol\u00e9mico y acaso m\u00e1s influyente de la Espa\u00f1a actual. Asimismo es la epopeya absurda y contradictoria de c\u00f3mo la COPE ha podido sobrevivir a todas las operaciones para cerrarla \u2014que contin\u00faan\u2014, y por qu\u00e9 se ha convertido en la referencia fundamental de millones de espa\u00f1oles. \u00c9sta es una maravillosa saga de lealtades y traiciones, sustos y milagros, amenazas y certezas, ideas y valores, que tiene como fondo la gran crisis de Espa\u00f1a en el siglo XXI y la lucha eterna entre despotismo y libertad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
