A statement that I think should be considered an irrefutable truth is that which states: "Honesty and decency of the owners of a medium is directly proportional to the honesty, courage, truthfulness and impartiality of the news (hence the journalists) of that medium. "That is, a news that weights and prefers the truth over all things is indeed owned by an honest man, true as true as a petty hacks driven news, simply reflects the human need of the owner of that environment. Considering what is currently happening in the country with all the Ecuadorian press is easy to conclude that journalists (if we dare boldly calling journalists such vulgar gestures locutorcillos fetched), they are actually simple buffoons who merely repeat what I ordered the owner of the theater.
already at some time a wise man said that "if this country had real, honest and brave journalism research, the dictator Rafael Correa and his corrupt government, would have fallen, it is now, many months ago. "
As mentioned above, the quality of the news and the content of newspapers, reflecting the moral quality of its owners, therefore, a newscast or a newspaper misleading, biased, partial, liar, and dependent or economic interests of its shareholders immoral appetites, never informed with truth, courage and honesty. To some extent, to require the media, public or private, honest work is a real candor, it is logical that they will not do, for obvious reasons.
The evidence demonstrating the extremely low quality of traditional Ecuadorian press are many and occur daily. For example, a few days ago the press reported that some Guayaquil character had died. In traditional media repeatedly broadcast that news while grandly extolled the supposed artistic qualities of this individual who worked in a television guaiac, and had achieved some notoriety in his hometown for his insights into the declamation demagogic and populist.
But suspiciously mainstream media forgot to mention that this character was part of a government more corrupt in recent times, perhaps only surpassed by the immorality of the government of Jamil Mahuad, and definitely by the corrupt government of Rafael Correa feminist. To this day I remember how, the day Bucaram was removed from power, at night, when the die was cast, and the patriots roldocistas out in rout of Carondelet Palace, some carrying bags of jute, which eyewitnesses say was full of money, the aforementioned "poet" that during that Government guacharnaco care role of public communication, a kind of official spokesman, had been on the streets García Moreno and from there, moved, insulted and puteaba redundantly as cheap alcoholic bar, told the press that he filmed and photographed the flight of the Patriots roldocistas and Bucaramanga. That is, yesterday and Carajás puteaba reporters and photographers, and today is remembered by the traditional press sentimental, unabashedly celebrates it, who knows, even by the same that at the time so shameless whore. That's the Ecuadorian press and those are the folk heroes, those who, interestingly, are covered up with descriptions like "the good-hearted slob."
no more than a few days ago, the Ecuadorians we learned through the Miami Herald American newspaper, of a complaint made by an Ecuadorian disappointed by the indifference and contempt, quite suspicious of the national press, had to travel to a foreign country to make their complaint. That reality, that of an Ecuadorian seeking help in the foreign press, outside their own country, to make known their complaints to the Ecuadorian society, are living proof of the sort of press that exists in Ecuador.
One calls attention to certain information, much touted in some circles, and certainly should be known by the company, are ignored or circumvented by others. It is also easy to see that news stories should be thoroughly investigated, are only briefly whispered, as well as other issues unnecessary, vulgar, pompous and ridiculous such as the social life of famous people are exploited, sifted and stripped the inside and out in a sort of pornographic journalism.
How to cope with this frustrating, disappointing and unfortunate reality? The television and radio newscasts and newspapers, public or private, will not change its editorial line crooked, nor the truth and honest journalism will be priority. No, the interests of the shareholders of the media will always prevail over the right of society to have access to accurate information on all public affairs that take place in the country and that they bear directly or indirectly. Perhaps the correct solution would be to turn off the television, or watch the alternate versions of "truth" offered by public and private media, aware of the real interests of each other, while we draw our own conclusions. And when I say "draw conclusions", I mean that the Ecuadorian press definitely worth shit.
