    The Republic of Venice used to boast that, in the space of three months, it could know all the events of the Mediterranean. We see the astronauts, from the distance of a few feet, at the very moment they land on the moon. Unfortunately the news almost swamps us with its frequency and abundance. It doesn't give us time to reflect: we are so constantly amazed that gradually we lose our capacity for being surprised at anything, and we don't enjoy even beautiful things.

    What I would like to know, and I haven't seen it yet, is when the indoctrination of left-wing journalists begins by mainstream media outlets? I mean, does it start at journalism school, do they have to declare their political views before they sign their employment contracts?Now that everyone knows mainstream media has become political advertising, perhaps it is time for journalists to be subject to a book of ENFORCEABLE rules of ethics, just like ALL other professionals.
