\u00a0\u00bbA revived presidency\u00a0\u00bb<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t17 juin 2002 — A Ohio State University, le 14 juin, le pr\u00e9sident GW Bush a re\u00e7u un accueil enthousiaste des \u00e9tudiants et leurs proches rassembl\u00e9s. La foule rassembl\u00e9e approchait les 60.000. Le Washington Post<\/em> a parl\u00e9, en termes inspir\u00e9s et \u00e0 consonance religieuse, d’une \u00ab revived presidency<\/em> \u00bb. Les circonstances pr\u00e9cises de cette journ\u00e9e du 14 juin, ou plut\u00f4t celles qui ont pr\u00e9par\u00e9 cette journ\u00e9e, doivent \u00eatre mentionn\u00e9s. Elles sont l’illustration de pratiques d\u00e9sormais admises, et m\u00eame imp\u00e9ratives aux USA depuis le 11 septembre. Ces pratiques sont suivies sans qu’il soit n\u00e9cessaire de consignes particuli\u00e8res des autorit\u00e9s centrales, remplac\u00e9es par les instructions qui semblent aller de soi des cadres locales des institutions concern\u00e9es. Il s’agit d’une r\u00e9action g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de conformisme politique accompagn\u00e9e d’une crainte de mise \u00e0 l’index avec toutes les cons\u00e9quences personnelles et professionnelles qu’on imagine, qui nous para\u00eet tr\u00e8s significative. La journ\u00e9e du 14 juin est un exemple color\u00e9 de cette situation. Les remarques du Post<\/em> sont le pendant journalistique de cette situation que l’article pr\u00e9tend d\u00e9crire : la situation de la manifestation du 14 juin est am\u00e9nag\u00e9e selon les nouvelles normes, et d\u00e9crites par une pratique journalistique r\u00e9pondant elle aussi \u00e0 ces nouvelles normes. La situation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale correspond \u00e0 ce que nous d\u00e9signons sous le nom de virtualisme.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’Institut \u00a0\u00bbFAIR-L\u00a0\u00bb (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting Media analysis, critiques and activism) a diffus\u00e9 une rapide analyse de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement du 14 juin, sous le titre :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab A Changed President or a New Repression?<\/em> \u00bb, en date du 17 juin. Nous vous la pr\u00e9sentons ci-dessous.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab President Bush’s June 14 commencement address at Ohio State University was a sign of a \u00a0\u00bbrevived\u00a0\u00bb presidency, according to Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank. \u00a0\u00bbBush basked in the adulation of 55,000 people who treated him to waves of standing ovations in Ohio Stadium as he received an honorary doctorate,\u00a0\u00bb according to the paper (6\/15\/02). \u00a0\u00bbIf there was a protest in the stadium, it was not visible to reporters.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb In contrast, wrote Milbank, when Bush received an honorary degree last<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tyear from Yale University, \u00a0\u00bbhe was booed, heckled and greeted with a sea of protest signs.\u00a0\u00bb While pointing out that Yale and Ohio State are different places, the Post reporter asserted that \u00a0\u00bbthe real cause of the difference in reception is the transformation of Bush and his presidency since the September 11 terrorist attacks.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb There may have been no protests visible to the Post reporter, but, as other media reported, there may have been other reasons for this in addition to \u00a0\u00bbadulation\u00a0\u00bb for Bush. According to the Columbus Dispatch (6\/15\/02), students were warned ahead of time they faced arrest if they showed any signs of dissent: \u00a0\u00bbGraduates had been warned during rehearsal on Thursday that they faced arrest if– as was rumored– some stood up and turned their backs on Bush during his speech.\u00a0\u00bb The warning continued on the day of the event as well, according to the Associated Press (6\/14\/02): \u00a0\u00bbImmediately before class members filed into the giant football stadium, an announcer instructed the crowd that all the university’s speakers deserve to be treated with respect and that anyone demonstrating or heckling would be subject to expulsion and arrest. The announcer urged that Bush be greeted with a ‘thunderous’ ovation.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb And some observers did, in fact, notice protests during the ceremony. As<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\treported in The Lantern (6\/14\/02), Ohio State University’s campus paper, \u00a0\u00bbThree graduates and six audience members– one draped in a Palestinian flag– actually did turn their backs but were hardly noticed by the crowd of about 60,000.\u00a0\u00bb A demonstration held outside the stadium attracted a small group of protesters as well (Columbus Dispatch, 6\/15\/02).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb None of this information made it into Milbank’s report.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
