Social media supports the TV host

More often than not, reality surpasses fiction, especially in a country like Mexico.

In a shocking turn of events, TV host Gustavo Malcapin was fired during a live broadcast.

It is believed that this decision was made after he criticized the husband of the governor of Baja California, María del Pilar Ávila.

The news was delivered by Luis Arnoldo Cabada, the general director of Canal 66 in Mexicali, during the program Ciudadano 2.0.
