Things turned around 180º degrees: The Mexico City congress lawmakers of the PAN (the party in the power) Gabriela Cuevas and Jorge Lara, paid for the bail that would be set by the judge because of the infraction made by Lopez Obrador, and this way, he would not go to jail.
This single and super economical move ($ 2,000.00 Mexican pesos equivalent to USD$ 200.00), released a huge, gigantic tsunami of panic swept the composure away from the journalists that are (since the very beginning) standing by Lopez Obrador. (or rather against the Federal Government).
The PAN lawmakers explained that they made this payment for two main reasons:
1.- Not to allow Lopez Obrador and his supporters to keep attacking the credibility of the Mexican Institutions for the silly amount of USD$ 200.00
2.- Not to allow Lopez Obrador and his supporters to keep deceiving the average citizen by over crying he is a victim of the power.
So he would not use, all the above, by trickily staining all of the Institutions, the people and the highest respected Institution (The Supreme Justice Court) in the nation for his electoral purposes and at the same time, evading his responsibility as an abusive power against the rights of property of a group of citizens in Mexico City.
After the news of said payment, I went on to check most of the news shows on the Radio and TV and to my dismay I found that my former theory about the vast majority of México City Journalism has always been and is a willing servant tool of this group.
The faces of the main commentators and, of course, their co-commentators were telling all: Faces showing pain, hardly self-contained anger and disappointment and subtle, but clear, attacks on the above lawmakers.
Only 5 of the tv/radio news shows kept their professional impartiality: Real journalists. (Want the list? Let me know).
While it is true that every human being, even journalists, have the right to have their political preferences, if the are to be professional and want to be trusted, they owe it first to themselves and to their audience trying to be impartial at whatever cost.
Since then the reporters which are not mostly seen, most of the time, but listened to, began to use an alarming tone of voice when reporting the events around Lopez Obrador.
This is another subtle way of moving the conscience of the audience to a feeling of danger.
If you follow the timeline, and after very blow to this masquerade is given, the tone, attitude, gestures and voice are giving us a clue:
Most of México City journalism are part of the masquerade to attack the Federal Government and to take their Candidate to the Presidency chair using every mean available, come what may. And this is a cheap but large scale Masquerade!!
Should I be wrong, then all that makes it look that way.
Soap operas are among my hobbies, but should I ever want to watch one, I want to have the choice to decide which and when to watch it. I do not need cheap soap operas sellers to make me waste my time when all I want is serious and reliable information.
Yesterday, at around 5:00 pm (Mountain Standard Time) I clicked my TV remote control to turn off my TV set and then I took just a few of the Mexico City newspapers and local ones too.
