Hello friends of Liberty; If I asked you which animal is most faithful to its master, I am sure that many of you would answer that the dog, the dog is the most faithful animal to its master, but let me contradict you, that is not the case, you are wrong, the animal most faithful to its master is the journalist.

I am a little tired of confusing opinion with information, something that the editors of newspapers, the presenters of television programs should know, we must separate information from opinion, can a newspaper give an opinion? Of course, everyone has their own editorial line, can a television give an opinion?, perfectly, but what cannot deceive people, manipulate them and predispose them.

In a news that is decent, opinion has to be perfectly differentiated from information and I am going to give you an example: what is opinion? Opinion is, for example, whether you like Donald Trump or dislike him, you have the right in your headline, depending on your knowledge and your morals, to criticize Donald Trump or praise him, in the same way that you can support Pedro Sánchez or disappoint him, that is perfectly legitimate, it is normal, it is called opinion, but in journalism opinion has to be separated from information, because a time that you are reading the opinion column, which is why when good journalism was done they put opinions and you gave your opinion, then there is the information.

Information is, for example, that "the candidate Simion in Romania has won 40% of the votes in the first round" that is information, opinions "the ultranationalist Simion obtains 40% of the votes", information, that is, "Donald Trump jokes about wanting to be Pope", opinion, that is, "new idea of Trump, he wants to be Pope", that apart from manipulating, it is a lie, it is a simple joke, if you don't like jokes or you don't like President Trump very well, you put it in the opinion column but you have to let the readers, viewers or listeners decide, based on the information they receive, whether he is a good president or a bad one, whether they like him or not, but it is good that you predispose people.

I doubt that Donald Trump wants to be pope, it's a joke, but the servile press manipulates, deceives people and what the anecdote is, it assumes it as a category and what a curious thing, same joke in this case Pedro Sánchez and attention because I have chosen the ABC I have not chosen the country or the being that nor CER, CIS, the ABC that is not suspected of being pro-government, same joke and this is what we find, if I were Trump what would I put? "But with onion or without onion, new Trump occurrence in the crisis meeting went out", which for the Spanish press has been a joke about "without onion or with onion", in the case of Trump the joke is an occurrence, a stir, a provocation.

They are building an image of a president who is interested in whatever makes people dislike them, looking for that external enemy and this is what is making many people see Trump as crazy, as someone who does impose tariffs, that he does have ideas, like the millions of Americans who have voted for him do not know what they are voting for, which seems to be the latest trend in the European Union to teach people to vote well, because they do not know how to vote well in Romania, they do not know how to vote well in Hungary, they do not know how to vote. good in the United States, because you already know that voting Good is voting for the masters, the same masters that the press is defending.

I insist, either they are both joking or they are ideas from both of them and a joke about “I want to be a dad” seems less serious to me than the one about the omelet with potatoes “with onion or without onion” in the crisis meeting where they were talking about a blackout that is going to cause Spain millions of euros in losses and that several people have died because the current that powered their electric respirators has failed.

Deaths, millions in losses and the omelet "with onion or without onion" for the press is a joke, but if Trump jokes with this, with that, with the rest there are new occurrences, I am very tired of watching news programs especially those on Antena 3 where everything that has to do with Donald Trump are occurrences, listen, don't tell me if that man's proposal is an occurrence or not, that is for me to decide, you don't tell me, you tell me that he is going to open the prison of Alcatraz and I will say “very good measure, we have to fight against crime” or I will say “I don't think it is a good idea, because its maintenance cost is very high” I will decide.

What you have to do is give me the data, I'm tired of the press mixing opinion and information, the press has to give information and that's it, and does it have the right to give an opinion? Of course it does, depending on its editorial line, but the reader has to quickly identify that what that media outlet is saying is opinion, not information, and for that in all newspapers there is a section that puts an editorial or that puts an opinion, where it is the media outlet that expresses the sympathies or rejection of whoever it is, identifying what that is, an opinion, But lately it's all opinion disguised as information.

“The ultra-right wins”, “the ultra-liberal wins”, “the ultra-nationalist wins” please remove the adjectives, the information cannot contain adjectives, opinion can.
