The profession of journalism can be a rewarding career and foremost must be a social work information and interpretation. When this work informative confused by a partisan work, employment in the profession loses its essential character. Journalists entering the ring, they become instruments for the use of various business groups to put their money to feed half. And then cease to be journalists, communication experts, mediators that carry information to recipients or whatever you want to call it that, to become mere mercenaries. Useful idiots, who put their signature and name, to satisfy the desires of the group that is behind it.
Editorial Prensa Iberica has two newspapers, Canary Islands: La Opinión de Tenerife and La Provincia-Diario de Las Palmas. With these two newspapers as intermediaries, have spent several months with a pretentious anticanaria and anti-independence campaign. Daniel Millet first linked the campaign for the domain. Ic canary with nationalism, in an article without arguments, where the author seems only had been informed via the Internet, talking about our fellow Canaria and Tamaimos Nation. Then spoke with contempt and with a fairly racist stench of Amazigh origin of the first settlers of the Canary Islands . In one article, the slanderer Francisco Pomares, called us bastards . Later, after the demonstration on 24-O, The Province was one of the ways that we strove to discredit the ideas of independence in the Canaries, campaign that has resulted in the linkage of the independence movement ETA canary, in its edition on 22 November.
Item Analysis:
The article written by journalist Pedro Guerra , formerly famous for its chronic interested in the final game of the National Team , again covered with glory in this campaign of unfounded canary-independence links with ETA .
Reading the article, you discover that the main source was the police reporter, whom he calls "Interior Ministry sources" and has provided all information contained on the two meetings in the Local IC on Antonio Sarda participation in the application of II-SP and the names that play. When says are "controlled" , the attempts to criminalize something that does not show or the information, nor apparently the police and the reader can only deduce from the fear of Basque nationalism, the media inducing English media. Someone without cognitive background of this fear, when reading this article, is not clear why these people try to follow. The sources consulted independent left, are used as legitimate, but never as a source, as only provides Sardá Antonio statements of Inter Canaria, supposedly support its theory.
All the rest is innuendo: the main and most serious implication is the title: "Environment of ETA seeks canaries" . When studies the career of journalism, one of the first things they teach you is that the text should be faithful to the title. However, Pedro Guerra, do not do that: a headline launches scandalous, malicious. Then the content will become weaker. Begins to relate the information you have provided the Police, I imagine that knowing, as a journalist is that you generally have to doubt the official sources, they can provide information concerned. Otherwise it suggests, without saying anything that arises in a lawsuit, on charges of this kind.
"The content of the meetings is unknown, although in principle the brigade (Askapena members) came to deliver a lecture entitled State of Emergency and outputs of Euskal Herria. " . This phrase is the best proof of the emptiness of content that is this article. Consider the sentence: it says that the contents are not known, or do not know what was discussed at that meeting. However, the journalist seems worthy of criminalizing the workers, some names which reproduce, have witnessed a conference on the Basque conflict "Is Mr. Guerra, legitimizing actions against freedom of expression, thought and association? So much can a journalist when he served as a mediator between the fears that want to induce the Government and the public.
Ultimately, the paper acts as a voice censorious of different ideas within the democratic framework of course. Try also illegitimate, with little information, and certainly not worthy of criminalization and accusing, without saying anything, quite serious. The journalist, clearly plays a demand, especially for people who are named, but it shows well advised legally, that does not fall into any direct accusation (of course because it has no evidence, though he sought insatiably). Instead, the image of lack of seriousness and sensationalism of a journalist, not so easily repaired and the astute and critical reader is able to identify burial of journalistic ethics as the famous Pedro Guerra.
Askapena, Inter Canaria, Atamarazayt ... and those that may join:
journalist The threat of new chapters in their efforts against the independence canario cross, makes us aware that new names and new organizations can be "accused" by keyboard Inquisitor Mr. Pedro Guerra . However, in this first chapter will have played four people, well-educated social activists and political criticism.
has also been criminalized at various organizations. Basque legal organization (not to forget the reader), Askapena , is linked to ETA environment, without providing any arguments. Remember that this organization is dedicated to spreading the world, the Basque problem. That nowhere in the world can be a crime, because all peoples have the right to fight for their sovereignty and of course everyone has the right of thought. For its part, the linkage of II-SP with terrorism, was dismissed in its day, even by English justice itself, which allowed confluence in the European Elections. Therefore, the author does not recognize or even legal legality of the English State.
is a tremendous chance to splash this issue, right now, to Inter Canaria. As we know, the national union is planning a general strike of staff for the month of December. Represents a strange coincidence, now jump into the fray, after a year of meeting, lest we forget, the ratio of IC with Askapena and other Basque activists.
Atamarazayt Lo (of course, name the author writes as Atamarazig wrongly, it seems that does not learn after writing azarug as azarugh and Amazigh Amazigh as in his former information on the party of the selection Canaria football), it is easy to understand. This is an environmental organization, based in Tamaraceite, which has no political statement, at least at the institutional level. It seems that the simple fact that one of its members has gone to a meeting on the conflict, perfectly legitimate and within the democratic framework course of English rule, is enough to splash the environmental group.
From The Fortress of Knowledge, I show my solidarity with all those activists and organizations named in this article. That any article, or any monitoring, they do necessary to withdraw its social and political activism in a society such as the Canaries, who needs it.
Reactions:
Different reactions have not been impressive: Juan García Luján, in the digital environment Canaries now poses a reflection on the persecution they are subjected someone declaring independence in Canary . In a colonial society and police and the Canary Islands over the ideas being pursued in a manner that is biased and criticizes the journalist in his op-ed. If we deny journalists the likes of Pedro Guerra, Angel Tristan Pepper, Francisco Pomares, Daniel Millet and company praise professionals with upper and Juan García Luján, a media worker, who dignify the profession and creates a truly democratic culture.
In Tamaimos, have not been fooled by the manipulation of Editorial Prensa Ibérica. In an article written by Josemi Martin, advocating freedom of thought desirable in all societies.
Finally, fellow Canaria nation, true to his nationalist line and free-thinking libertarians, show their solidarity with fellow democratic tarnished by this attack .
Conclusions:
The conclusion to be drawn from all the above, is that for a type of press, worth everything. His approach to anti-democratic positions, represent a real threat to the good information from the islands' society. This puts us on the need to start promoting ways to break the line of these mass media and spokespersons off fears it wants to expand, a government with so few democratic safeguards, such as the English State. Only then can we start a fight on equal terms against these pretentious and interested companies.
