Media morale in Venezuela (Or how to lose what you don't have)

Abstract

A few months ago (I think something like 9 or 10), the Venezuelan political analysis and opinion weekly 'Temas' (http://www.temasvenezuela.com) summoned several journalists, historians and native intellectuals to reflect in writing on "the (moral) breakdown of the media in Venezuela." In the call sent via email, they were careful to place the word moral in exactly that way, in parentheses, as to warn, in a clear position, that the only visible bankruptcy of these companies of the media spectacle is that which concerns character. of honesty that is linked to their duty to be spokespersons for social reality. On that aspect I did not agree - nor do I agree - and now I will explain why.
