Sebastián Eyzaguirre, content advisor for the Chilean program “Sin Filtros,” attributes its success to a crisis within traditional media. He believes the program’s explosive interview with former government spokesperson Mara Sedini sparked days of discussion precisely because mainstream outlets desired similar content. Eyzaguirre argues that Chilean politics was long controlled by the editorial lines of major newspapers, La Tercera and El Mercurio, a dynamic “Sin Filtros” is breaking. He views the program as a precedent for a new, more honest political discourse, even if it’s “turbulent.” Eyzaguirre explicitly prefers a frank, albeit messy, debate to what he characterizes as the dishonesty of the previous political media environment. The interview and subsequent reactions demonstrate a shift in how political conversations are unfolding in Chile.
