This Sunday, Italy is experiencing a day of general elections that has made nervous the centrist and leftist politicians and their related media.<\/p>\n
The good poll forecasts for the Fratelli d'Italia party<\/strong> are causing some to lose sleep. As has happened on other occasions, these media have spent days trying to scare us by warning that the \"far-right\" could govern Italy<\/strong>. It is a very crude manipulation, since as I pointed out here yesterday<\/a>, Fratelli d'Italia is a democratic and conservative party, not a \"far-right\" party. But it seems that for many media the right no longer exists: if you're not leftist or centrist, then you're a \"far-right\".<\/strong> It's a clear way of trying to manipulate their audience.<\/p>\n In these cases, journalistic ethics when it comes to qualifying conservative political options can be tested with a simple question: the media that call Fratelli d'Italia \"far-right\" also called \"far-left\" the Greek communists of Syriza and the Spanish communists of Podemos?<\/strong> We are talking about a party that governed in Greece and another party that is part of a coalition government with the socialists in Spain.<\/p>\n In the case of Podemos, it is a party that has ties to dictatorships such as Iran and Venezuela<\/strong> and that has justified aggressions against political rivals<\/a>. Likewise, last year, both Podemos and their socialist allies of the PSOE voted against a condemnation of communism's crimes of genocide<\/a> in a vote held in the Spanish Parliament. How many European media that now describe Fratelli d'Italia as \"far-right\" have reported on all these things?<\/strong><\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Photo: Reuters.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Sunday, Italy is experiencing a day of general elections that has made nervous the centrist and leftist politicians and their related media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10720],"tags":[12865,12864,11680],"class_list":["post-48698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-communication","tag-fratelli-ditalia","tag-giorgia-meloni","tag-italy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48698"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
