Abstract
Este artículo propone el análisis exhaustivo del espacio La máquina de la verdad (Tele 5). En su desarrollo se aborda la singularidad del programa, que se convirtió en uno de los paradigmáticos de la telerrealidad en los años noventa, inscribiéndose en el imaginario colectivo y en la historia del medio televisivo español. Muestra de sus señas de identidad fueron los temas y los protagonistas: actuales, polémicos, con implicaciones judiciales; su puesta en escena; y el perfil de su presentador, Julián Lago. El formato se dividía en tres partes: el interrogatorio a una persona pública, que explicaba su versión sobre una polémica; el debate con invitados, que cuestionaban o apoyaban su relato; y el desenlace final, que comprobaba la veracidad de las respuestas del personaje monitorizado por un detector de mentiras. Esta estructura formal y el contenido temático polémico y efectista, consagraron al espacio como una referencia para programas sensacionalistas posteriores.
This article proposes an in-depth analysis of Tv show La máquina de la verdad (Tele 5). Its development addresses the uniqueness of the program, which became one of the paradigms of reality tv in the 1990s, inscribed in the collective memory and the history of the Spanish television. A sign of his hallmarks were the themes and the protagonists: current-time celebrities, controversial, with judicial implications; its staging; and the profile of its presenter, Julian Lago. The format was divided into three parts: the interrogation of a public person, who explained his version of a controversy; the discussion with guests, who questioned or supported his account; and the final outcome, which checked the veracity of the responses of the character monitored by a lie detector. This formal structure and the effective and controversial thematic content, enshrined the program as a reference for subsecuent tabloid programs.
