These news media have sections of entertainment where the private lives of representative characters are exposed, such as the singers "Marisol, The Female Pharaoh of Cumbia" and "Tony Rosado, The Nightingale of Cumbia," from which the difference of extremist feminism tolerated in Marisol and the condemned machismo in Tony Rosado is popularized.
