« These young people, of course, have no "critical thinking" but are fond of their "indignation". That's why we cajole them. Even before their `journalism` studies, they had great potential for servility. In journalism schools, horizon of events of unique thought, students are like spectators of Nicolas Bedos. Apart from a curious or two distracted, they pay their place knowingly. These schools offer a technical and methodical range of knowledge to individuals who are mostly already formatted, at least ideologically compatible with the Party. In the activist dynamic, the inter-student group effect is just as important - if not more so - than coaching. They train each other. And at the end of the day they have no choice: either they zealously adhere to the morals of this biotope, or they divide by a thousand their chances of surviving it. Students are chosen, hired and then directed by journalists. Cause or consequence, the profession attracts almost only people on the left, for whom the press card is the equivalent of a degree of moral superiority. The rest of their careers are filling. Attempting to conceal substantive orthodoxy through formal heresy. Produce first. Copy and copy mostly. Checking is complicated. Thinking don't talk about it. The "in-depth items" are shipped in fifteen minutes. The editorials are laid in one evening. Never any reflection on the complex phenomena that underlie what is happening, and that's fine. (Ch. III THE TWO MINUTES OF HAINE p. 102-103) »

« These people have no historical reference other than their sacred Holy World War. Hitler is their generic term for those who don't think exactly like them. »
