AGAINST Lanata JOURNALISM CHILDHOOD DISEASE
Open Letter to Jorge Lanata
by Hugo Presman
Lanata
ago several days I've been hanging around with the intention to write.
I do no other authority than the open Having A home for you came in the form of voice (radio, with programs such as Check 25, Lanata AM), image (TV, D-Day, after all), newspapers (Page 12, Review, Journal XXI, XXII, XXIII), books (Cortinas de Humo, The War of the Stones, Polaroids, Story Teller, Argentinos, DNA, Time, 25, dead in love) and you made several documentaries.
On one occasion I went to the radio show you did in the Rock and Pop, to see how it worked. I am a veteran radio listener, more than sixty years, and recently for 12 I could see the pleasure of driving and radio coconducir.
journalist I always exercised but not professionally engaged in academic and political activism in university teaching and activities inherent in the CPA.
I have often said over the microphone that you were one of the most original journalists in the past three decades. Innovating Page 12, on D-Day, did a good program like Check 25, and some memorable things a strong impact on the magazine XXI as the hole at the top in one of its first issues.
I miss a brave and unusual attitude of yours as the complaint of irregularities in a company that advertised in your program.
recall reports that kept viewers on edge like the one you made to Cecilia Felgueras who co-led the Pami for the Alliance, the union leader Luis Barrionuevo, a journalist Mariano Grondona.
since returning to the Channel 26-TV also said the air-I have noticed a light version, like you're bored, or because the situation in the country with important debates, including the role of journalism you no longer offside (not set).
Like a hopeful situation here and in a few Latin American countries leave you off-side. As if to fifty years would have aged exponentially. Perhaps the employer ate newspaper journalist, as some union fat in their youth were combative.
Is there also a conceptualization that journalists came to be called fat Junked those who chose their dreams and succumbed to the recognition of the establishment? He
witty journalist has become someone who plagiarizes himself badly. Critics had already gone through a smaller version that was very impaired, the best page 12.
Your current reports are conversations without cross-examination. Accustomed to success, pass through a period of repeated failures as a criticism, theater reviews, the limited impact of DDT (After All).
be why or maybe because the political scene do not feel comfortable that you lost your temper. And then you start to drift badly.
declares "I have fed up with the dictatorship", just to you that at page 12 made an emblem of the struggle for truth and justice to enlighten aberrations terrorism perpetrated by the state and sit on the dock to murderers.
In that editorial said inter alia:
"I think peace. Quiet Let me think ... There are things I agree with and other am Clarín according to the government .... In Argentina you can not talk. You're one thing or another .... The fight is a fight Clarín not ideological, it is a fight for business. "
You know what strikes me George?
That even though you're a popularizer of history, not always understand, especially in critical situations is the main and secondary.
For Newsprint (in the Journal News says "no one cares and top with false evidence") the key is to end the monopoly. What side are the intentions, that is not the field but a political analyst in psychoanalysis. In
page 402 of Volume 2 of "Argentine" wrote:
"History of Newsprint is the editor's dream: a monopoly on cheap paper."
It is contradictory that when you are fighting the battle to reverse abnormal situations that you complaints but obviously you had no power to change it, now you come in case. In the model lanatacéntrico things are important if they fall under your interest and have them stop when flying other.
You make categorical statements as "false evidence" and does not provide a single evidence to support your claim. Search the crystalline process reality. There are none. Again history is past politics and politics is the history of this.
Your position seems similar to entering the Vatican, stands in front of Michelangelo's Pieta and instead of admiring the great sculpture, focuses on the fly perched on the face of Jesus. And after talking out of the fly.
Or your style according to your scale of priorities, claiming that the artist was back when bought with a marble in Carrara.
You have completed fifty years and it is time to understand that an ideological position that economic interests always expressed.
A philosopher who knew about it, a certain Karl Marx argued:
"In history as in nature, decay is the laboratory of life."
We are not living a revolution. Just-but for a scorched Argentina seems revolutionary attempt to develop a capitalist economic recovery of some springs, a greater state presence, greater control over the market and put in a box while some corporations to promote and develop economic sectors. Recovery of the influence of the unionized sectors and improvement in the laws governing the workplace.
predominance of politics over economics. With American foreign policy achievements, such as UNASUR, and not the FTAA.
Just some of the progress realized. The Baldwin has continuities and ruptures with the infamous decade of the nineties. For its ruptures receives harsh criticism of the establishment and its media mouthpieces.
And continuities is the criticism from leftist groups, which depending on how you try to locate help deepen the existing functional or economic power are concerned.
forget an old phrase Armando Tejada Gómez:
"As the world is round, if you run far to the left, hugging the right end."
now you ask why is this done?
The answer would be: Why Why not now?
If the government is moving into something that always suggested, do not stay on the side of the road like a modern Hamlet lost in existential doubt. Keep the critical distance that you like. But that equidistance should be symmetrical, both in relation to government and economic power.
If not, your premise is as tricky as you
reiteration that "the president told an hour and a half, on national TV, something that happened 34 years ago."
presented the report on Newsprint what you want to talk?
apparently these radio listeners when one deals with a subject, such as poverty, call saying why not talk now of insecurity and the situation of pensioners, perhaps topics discussed last week.
demagogically asked: Did you talk of hunger, education, insecurity?
And you repeat, with the insistence that criticism of 6-7-8:
"Yesterday the president spoke one hour and thirty of newsprint. In everything else is going like the whore mother. He talked about something that happened 34 years ago today and yesterday when kids die of hunger. "
Sorry George, but your friend Mirtha Legrand would not have done better. If you praised it in their lunches where you're alone and you invited retribuís his admiration with tons of honey to him by dedicating a book with the caption:
"For it is a big Chiqui. With love and admiration. George. " Permitime
you say it, but the former offender progress seems that you've retired. Or maybe match Elisa Carrio, the candidate offered to you at the head of the city of Buenos Aires, who in another meeting Dining Diva said "chow" was the best journalist in Argentina.
seems incredible that in the war on media law, Clarín think is the weakest. Multimedia is so shaky that the new law may be applied fully, as whoever wins the next government and will be archived forever.
is a dominant group so you can sneak anorexic for years and years DNA testing of adopted children irregularly by Ernestina Herrera de Noble.
You said:
"I do not believe (the Kirchner) concern about human rights because it also purchased the human rights organizations."
agree with you that Kirchner did not care about the issue until the first Nestor and Cristina then came to the presidency.
of conviction or opportunism later changed. Again I say: political analysis considers facts intentions.
If you had lived in 1810/1811 would have criticized the Secret Plan of Operations Mariano Moreno because in 1809 he wrote The Representation of Landowners who was his antithesis.
What happened to Mariano Moreno? I had asked. And you had stayed in his box watching defined the fate of what was begun in 1810.
adopted the same position of the socialists who looked uncomfortable and even came to vote against it at the execution of some projects by Victoria Ocampo Perón or fighting for women's suffrage, but opposed the concrete when Eva Peron.
As Hipólito Yrigoyen said "these are pathetic miserable "You say you bought
to human rights organizations. It is a charge for the less risky you know you can not prove. If Hebe, Nora, or Estela argue that you say what you say because you want to look good with Clarin how would you react? Perhaps with the tension adjectives of your interview to the News.
In my opinion, Grandmothers and Mothers sector, found after many years of hardship, where the support and accompany you, but not governments, a place where they were understood and acknowledged by officialdom.
What is the law that assists you to place you left the pain of the families of the victims? Elsa Oesterheld
he disappeared to her husband and their four daughters, told the president in the Frankfurt Book Fair:
"I thought to be dead and today I hope."
solidarity and fought and continue to fight for truth and justice of a tragedy in Argentina is fair and logical. Overact pain over the grotesque round victims. I guess you should shake up the gut when Estela de Carlotto says "Lanata is the tomato" or "your statements are a fool."
would be nice to incorporate the comments of those most directly affected by state terrorism, has been reflecting on where you located?
I may help you in your desire to think alone.
also claim that "we are the laughing stock abroad."
Osvaldo Bayer, a harsh critic, incorruptible, whom you brought them into page 12, told the Argentine Time in relation to the Frankfurt Book Fair:
"Ten years ago no one imagined that Argentina would be the guest of honor "(8-10-2010 page 35). The magazine
insist News:
"The Baldwin used and prostituted human rights ... on one side of the bodies were sold and on the other hand the government used them or let them use. It is a mixture of everything. "
When one makes such claims, should observe and critics who applauded. If someone proposes the reform and receives the applause of the Rural Society, it is obvious that he is wrong is that it proposes and those who do not applaud.
recovered One of the grandchildren said that when you saw the appropriator wanted to turn off the TV and now you are sure you applaud.
"A lot of lying around the seventies and I had enough. Me I went bank for many years, but finally when the seventies came to power, as today, policy and think the same way they did 40 years ago have to do something because otherwise everything will return to the same brothel. Because nothing guarantees that four liners will not get the braces and arm quilombo again. "
seems incredible that drive a very superficial analysis. Neither the time nor the situations are comparable. As a matter of age to the seventies what you read or told. For the same reasons I witnessed and secondary character of that period.
Argentina's so-called revolution was radicalized and nationalized the petty bourgeoisie discovering the potential of Peronism, even overstating them. The major sectors in society spoke and suggested at least one state and capitalism than socialism.
The Cordobazo involved a milestone in a steady progress of the masses. Armed organizations that had emerged, beyond supporting disagreed with the methodology-for the Prohibition of the popular masses personified by exiled Perón. Overall radicalized sectors and revolutionaries felt contempt for democracy that is considered formal.
The return of Perón was born in an epic resistance and specified in the seventies. Armed organizations lost their justification from March 11, 1973. Do you find
any resemblance to today to make a comparison so light?
State terrorism with its horrors has been buried under a tombstone discuss the possibility of major errors committed by armed groups.
This is an unresolved debate that you want to cancel just a matter of boredom.
you say now:
"but finally when the 70 came to power."
forget what you wrote recently:
"In those years Kirchner played for groups linked to the Peronist Youth but, against the myth that stands today, was never part of the Revolutionary Tendency (Pool area of \u200b\u200bthe guerrilla movement) or Montoneros "(Page 119 of your book Hora 25, printed in October 2008). Impacts
that mixture of superficiality, unbridled anger and verbal. Labels
6-7-8 as "a group of tasks." Rate
a television program as a task force in addition to being an unfortunate trivialization is in line with Elisa Carrio that Kirchner is considered that Nazism without concentration camps.
responding to criticism disqualifying conceptual adjectives like "rat" while your originality has been reduced to bring a pig to study and your analysis shipwrecked on the surface of things.
considered twice as good an article that "accidentally" released the same day (Wednesday 10/06/2010) La Nacion and Clarin titled "Maradona as Argentina metaphor", collected from El Pais in Spain, whose authors are John Carlin and Carlos Pierini.
think that this string of cliches of thought colonizer and colonized his followers is the source of the decline in the "populist, corrupt and incompetent" and the yearning for Argentina "breadbasket of the world."
is no coincidence either that the editorial The Nation October 10, says of the note:
"the overall impact is due to have been at the center of the reasons fall in league with the crazy that Argentina has suffered in connection with the concert of nations" Argentinos
In volume II, in the literature that you mention as there are three books consulted Jauretche Arturo. It seems that not read or if you did not get it.
Your current position will inspire a new chapter of his Manual Zonceras.
The "leftist historical popularizer" coinciding with the newspaper whose founder wrote the official history falsified, in two of its workhorses: the longing for the pastoral Argentina's first centennial and populism as the cause of the decline in Argentina.

The Lanata, childhood disease
journalism I leave the letter for some lines. A brief digression. The journalism of the seventies was a militant. Do not hide what their ideological position. Not bad if that position is clearly evident from what place and belonging is journalism.
During the military dictatorship journalism establishment, more courageous and meritorious as the Buenos Aires Herald, who reported the disappearance, never understood that the horrors were needed economic policy he supported. Never realized it was not that put Videla Martínez de Hoz, but it was Martinez de Hoz (which he represented) who chose Videla.
In the nineties, lanatiana school was the existence of a journalist above all. The star journalist as a prosecutor. Amid crumbling institutions, journalism lanatiano rose like a beacon of ethics. Journalism was pure and simple. Over ideologies, journalists were more important than the protagonists of the story.
was the one telling it, or as persistently said those who wrote the first draft of history. The distortion of roles was to the point that in this location lanatiano journalism, the story of Maradona goal by Victor Hugo Morales was more important than Maradona and his goal.
of corruption was made the focus of analysis, while the main thing that happened, the country's sales passed the background. If only Robert Cox disappearances appreciated without understanding its link to economic policy, Lanata saw corruption as a center for analysis. Even
program Mariano Grondona in a discussion with Jorge Asis, when the opposition says the government is journalism, the director of page 12 said:
"I think the main opposition that the government has its politicians are corrupt. "
A member of the team Lanata, writer Martin Caparros said in the Nation of 10/02/2010:
"When well-intentioned journalists corruption lit Menem, Menem was changing the economic structure of Argentina as nobody had done. While consolidated a pattern of exclusion that we are still suffering, journalism was aware of the adulterated milk or cold. Now the same happens. Easily return to the "ah, are corrupt, steal!". I call it honesty "
was used to moralistic language as pointed out by the essayist Juan José Becerra is the hammock of political thought. "
is all very well to denounce corruption whenever it is contextualized because as Karl Marx quoted by José Pablo Feinmann in "Philosophy and the mud of history:" The capital comes into the world dripping with blood and mud "(Chapter XXIV of 1 volume of Capital).
If this is done, is so naive as to discover that the girls working in a brothel are not virgins and leave a scream from the rooftops.
political journalism over the policy itself is as illusory as economic gurus fooled with aseptic economy detached from politics.
The Baldwin got off the pedestal to journalism and put into question. Sometimes with excesses and arbitrariness.
but came under a critical eye, like politicians, economic gurus, the IMF, justice, police, employers, trade unionism. In this context
Jorge Lanata is according to the Journal News "angry, exultant, elated."
may all be a giant mistake. Lanata never exceeded a characterization of "progressive" and what it entails as a misunderstanding of reality when there are easy to grasp as happened during the Menem administration.
is a left-liberal American-style in a period of national history shed smart, and bold. There is a political analyst.
So when the reality is more complex, Lanata shows its limits and superficiality. Elisa Carrio And his eyes just passing through the peephole of corruption must also have him as a whistleblower.
A vision so small was synthesized several years ago in radio program THE TRAIN, by the Venezuelan writer and journalist who claimed Modesto Emilio Guerrero, changing the title of Lenin's famous book:
"The lanatas is the childhood disease of journalism."

Postscript to the open letter to Jorge Lanata
Here are some of the things I wanted to say George. You may be able to take over and that you accept that a first bewildered actor can become a good artist deal. To do this you probably have to unlearn some things. The dilemma
Sarmiento of civilization and barbarism, it is appropriate to look at reality from the field call the civilized barbarism. From there you can try to understand the popular movements in Latin America.
is good to carry in your backpack to Arturo Jauretche to some authors such as Rodolfo Puiggrós national thought, Jorge Abelardo Ramos, Jorge Spilimbergo among others, and when you have doubts where to position a complex reality that mixes gold and clay, use a compass Safe: see where the bulk economic power and the hegemonic media and placed in front. Unless you actually want to be under the protection of the powerful.
In that case you should assume that position, without modesty, and not rudely dismiss anyone who criticizes you, like you're untouchable.
If you are still so angry, insulted with simplistic arguments to high school students taking college and decide to love policy again, when you're older you may get to be a Pepe Eliaschev II. And if success smiles like when you were progressive, maybe reaches to Joaquín Morales Solá.
