Quote of the Day: Less violent than the news?

“‘These [bullfights] are, surely, not the best way to be educating children,’ said Joan Herrera of the communist-led United Left coalition.

‘It is obvious that watching bullfights on the television does not traumatize children,’ protested Juan Manuel Albendea, of the conservative People's Party.”

Despite being a sure-fire ratings success, TVE will air bullfighting highlights late at night instead of showing it during “children’s viewing times.”
