Hi all Newsweek readers,
thanks for the news about Newsweek. I asked for them 'cause since a couple
of month I've subscribed it, and I was curious to listen to your comments.
There's a thing, mainly. Here in Italy it would be considered IMO a bit
rightist. Not extremely, but much more in line with our current government
that with our past one. And this says a lot about our different viewpoints,
dear American friends. And how our social context filters our respective
truths.
Another point is that it seems very ANTI - European. It's funny to see how
they exaggerate every even small problem or oddity, while they treat the
Enron affaire - for example - so careful. Quite the opposite happens in our
magazines, of course.
About American TV, unfortunately, I can grasp just the 50%. It's a problem
of speed, mainly (someone will say I'm lucky? No, 'cause Italian
TV -especially the private TV- is not much better). Much more than the
press, I find it funny that TV, Fox News. Last night that bizarre journalist
(is it the right term for him?), O'Reilly, stated that the American
constitution grants rights only to American citizens, as it begins with "We,
People of the USA...". Great! Like to say that you can kill a tourist!
OK, he was justifying the diverse treatment of the Talebans in Guantanamo
from the American one. I'm not here to defend those Talebans, just it's
amazing to realize how it is easy to take a writ and manage its
interpretation in order to justify your ideas.
Ciao,
Marco
