I have no very clear whether the disclosures of Wikileaks are disappointing, if it is the reaction of the media have not been helped by filtration, if disappointing is that many of the cables of U.S. diplomacy based on mere personal opinions, impressions or generalities and anecdotes obvious or if, on the contrary, simplification comes from hand that suddenly release so much information it is impossible to assimilate and contribute only to reaffirm previous opinions style or Superagente 86 Mortadelo and Philemon.
may be the end of diplomacy known as the old journalism, 11-S who knows how many things and the beginning of many other types new information systems safer (again) or psychosis that ultimately everyone, including the powerful, we watched, with no privacy or intimacy (not your mouth hot because someone will make a record or memorandum which tell how stupid you are).
Although essentially not come from the hand of the leak, but the analysis. And there is hardly any reference or explanation to why tax havens exist, why speculation is allowed, why the dollar is central and can give the ticket printer at your convenience, why indulge manufacturing models based on human exploitation and unsustainable, why we want to end the European welfare state and why Europe fails to act as a Union, or even, heaven knows why pharmaceutical research devoted much effort to alopecia or obesity. Look
, only a few hours the English media have had to discuss at least among these issues:
1. Continue to El Pais (which in turn was to Wikileaks, naturally), what a rage, dammit.
2. Analyze the Catalan elections claiming to find something that does not sound like a local and almost redneck.
3. Give the "bailout of Ireland" (heck with the expression, what good are the financial writers) the importance it deserves in terms of social decline and democratic defeat against markets.
4. And besides, do not stop feeding the hypnotic relaxation sports Nadal-Federer or Barcelona-Madrid.
5. Or, to read, the controversial amendment to the English spelling (you know: script written script, etc.).
will not, of course, for lack of informative entertainment.
bags, gold, salaries of staff (now up to the Americans, but only civilians, not military, not to be), the dollar rises, lowers the euro, the attacks of the dead daily routine the environmental summits ...
Anyway, reading the news do not know if we are in the hands of alpha males pulled or filled with Botox, spied on by unbalanced women gossiping women, Arabs want war without getting off the Rolls Royce or to stop entertaining Chinese competition Korean. Wikileaks
drawn, unwittingly I suppose, a caricature of the world.
do not know why, but I hope that professional journalism is able to provoke a reaction, at least among Europeans.
But again, I do not know why.
