journalism Some of proportion please
few days since blogging is almost incompatible with "pontificate" in person, I mean I get bored of myself. Discuss both controllers, Wikileaks, doping, close to the media, etc, one is left with few wanting to get home and give the rattle again. Especially when the statistics say that the curiosity of whether Antonia San Juan is a man or woman already provides 30 percent of visits. What courage. But hey, if writing is to kill the bug of journalism and even took a quarter informational killing by students (an experience) I get back to it with an idea that is going on in my head for days:
disproportion .
all started with a domestic story. If you are a parent or parent of teenagers has been know well what I mean. A teenager is the living representation of the disproportion. Reacts disproportionately suffers, laughs, sleeps, eats, grows (at least mine) disproportionately. Hormone is a sea, a body with ups and downs, growth spurts, voice changes, etc, etc. And sometimes cause reactions in those around them equally disproportionate, and boredom, tension, boredom, and unhinged.
And the fact is that, turning, I got to thinking that this old country, the old state, the Old Kingdom and intermittent in which I live, in fact, is like a teenager. Maybe it is all "developed" world and the West. I started
by thinking about the disproportionate salary of air traffic controllers, also in football, in the bank presidents in the TV presenters star, some commentators, who knows. Pure envy, you might say. Sure. Linking
, I kept thinking about the disproportionate reaction of drivers leaving their jobs in the militarized government and enacting and extending the state of alert, in the disproportionate anger not only who could not travel (human finally after all) but who can not imagine flying.
thought also of the disproportionate and indigestible filtration Wikileaks (250,000 cables are too many, they look as look), the disproportionate persecution and evil Assange customization in their disproportionate arrest "in the subject of condoms!", In the impunity that has disproportionate power, represented in this case the historical body politic ... And inevitably I
the disproportionate technical ambition of doctors and trainers who adulterate the bodies of athletes breaking records, in the disproportionate commitment of the Guardia Civil to the matter (is-ten-ta agents, apparently) to "stop to the dogs ", is that ETA is in retreat, the roads are secure than ever or public safety in general (organized crime, domestic violence, I do not know) lives its fullness. And then something must be done with so much cash underutilized.
disproportion. Emptying a magazine of a machine gun on a demonstration to throw stones. Killing someone for a discussion of traffic or soccer. Flies with cannon fire. Assange is a terrorist. The drivers, too. I guess that is a genocidal terrorist. And the genocide, the genocidal Eeeeeh, well, maybe that's a statesman. Losing his temper, hot action, forget the serenity, the prospect, the serenity, the serenity ...
terrified how easy
we lose our composure, how easy to justify "do whatever is necessary" so as not to frustrate, not to suffer a setback, how easy to give up the core values, how easy it is to justify the saviors of the country, extolling or condemn the "robin hood", the "Ronald" or a guy who sings so disproportionate that can primarily be. As the fans. Because adolescents.
And the trouble is that many call it leadership, strength, clarity of ideas. Do not fall into the rapture of the heat of war is confused with being a pushover. You yell, fists on the table give, act without thinking, in character, pussy, with character. If it goes well there reached the summit. Individually
dangerous. Socially, simply frightening.
For the media, many, many journalists have decided to feed this disproportion.
In times of crisis, unemployment and structural reforms of welfare states, we are not playing with fire. Not the first time humanity decides to go back to the cave.
