Between 1993 and 1998 (more or less) was commentator for Actors the gathering that was Luis del Olmo ONCE, the issuer of the blind. (Look you, now you just die Sabato). In 1998 del Olmo decided to do without me, I am maliciously under pressure from the PP government, whose policy (to call it somehow) managed communication regarding Michelangelo Rodríguez. Needless to say the least. Well, the fact is that I fall into the talk show genre that accurately portrayed as ruthless as Taibo in this book (Carlos Taibo (2010) Against the pundits , Cataract, Madrid, 110 pp.) I hope not, under the subgenre of todólogo aroused the indignation of the author. I feel free because they talked about everything but only what he thought he knew something. There was, and there are very important issues on which I never spoke. I never said a word about football, for example, and look how we talk about soccer in the gatherings, with the tale of sociological phenomenon, or on bulls, cultural heritage immaterial, as the Gothic or the Sistine Chapel, or on celebrities or famous. Anyway
analysis Taibo's book is not limited to be a diatribe against todólogos , although it could. The use of the term pundits with its aroma Patristic loop in the title makes it sounds almost like a contra gentiles . Taibo foot takes on Debord and Baudrillard, primarily to characterize these gatherings spectacular and simulation, with the disappearance of books and other concomitant effects of television (TV today all have social gatherings), which contains the cantankerous Sartori, contribute to stunning general (P. 65), noble efforts which are useful pundits. Taibo
gender classified into three main sections, journalists, intellectuals and politicians and is not charitable to either first to be ugly degrades their collaboration their respective profession or status (p. 48) and critical to be provided to simulate a pluralism that exists in the media. Of politicians no longer talk. Tackles thorny issues complicated but not as independence (p. 36) and spiny but not complicated, as the "logic of money" (p. 103), pastuqui is one of the criteria for allocating the commentators as sinecures the longstanding principle of exchange of favors: I give you a chat, you give me a column.
The author devotes two chapters especially happy to convert figure, giving faith fulfilled why it remains true that the said convert's faith and intellectuals who called abductees, one of which is the intellectual subspecies sold. Sad but that of many intellectuals in all times had to sell to live. Tell that to Quevedo despite their brave verses and now being told to either converts rousing speech which is usually in direct proportion to the roster.
In order that the book is very well, is sharp, poignant, realistic and has the good taste not to mention names or surnames, and the reader who alerted the suspect.
