The televised debate between Joe Biden And Donald Trump has definitively killed the myth of American journalism. That of the Watergate scandal, that of the independence of the media, that of the Pulitzer Prizes, that which they teach in the numerous courses of American universities, that which our domestic colleagues fill their mouths with when they sigh for the independence of the Anglo-Saxon press.
Everyone is commenting on President Biden’s embarrassing performance. There was. It’s obvious. But where had the fourth estate slept until that moment? In which smoking editorial office were they hiding the watchdogs of power who would not look anyone in the face. And this is supposed to be the breed of independents who should reveal scandals, investigate, denounce embezzlement? But don’t make us laugh.
The entire world knew about the physical condition of the most important government man in the world. Countless videos portrayed him falling, stumbling, staring into space, looking for butterflies instead of his colleagues at the G7. These are not occasional episodesbut a chain of events that no one in mainstream journalism wanted to see.
Why didn’t any major American media report this? Why do you rummage through the medical records of every senatorial candidate, and you don’t realize how their health is? commander-in-chief. And the so-called and phenomenal new digital colleagues, the so-called debunkers, have proven no better. Those who take themselves so seriously that they allowed themselves to ask the few online voices who had doubts about Biden’s health if they were medical graduates? The same digital referees who never disavowed the verbose articles about Putin’s alleged terminal illnesses, where have they been?
With the Atlanta debate, with its closed microphones, with its aseptic Anglo-Saxon construction, not only did a president end up, who seemed like a naked king, but the press ended up. Perhaps this staging was needed, to understand what everyone had understood, but that the journalists did not have the decency to reveal. We kill careers on judicial investigations that still need to be confirmed, we condemn for relations with a porn star, we question funding, and we do not realize Biden’s physical and mental adequacy? What do we have, are they afraid of?
Do you remember the cover of theEconomist on Berlusconi, Unfit, that is, not able to govern Italy. How Unfit were the Anglo-Saxon journalists in pretending not to understand the condition of their president? Pulitzer was a questionable editora man who influenced the editorial line without any scruples, who made sensationalism the hallmark of his New York newspaper, certainly then at the end of his life, changed his mind. And he built a prize worthy of sick information that takes itself so seriously that it borders on the ridiculous.
