La guerre en Irak continue, pour l’instant (juste un instant) en arri\u00e8re-plan du chaos g\u00e9n\u00e9ral qui a envahi notre plan\u00e8te. Le site RAW Story<\/a> signale, le 29 juillet, une chronique du New York Times<\/em> de Frank Rich, se penchant sur le probl\u00e8me de la publicit\u00e9 faite \u00e0 cette guerre sur les canaux des t\u00e9l\u00e9visions nationales. Deux paragraphes du texte de Rich sont cit\u00e9s :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab As America fell into the quagmire of Vietnam, the comedian Milton Berle joked that the fastest way to end the war would be to put it on the last-place network, ABC, where it was certain to be canceled. Berle’s gallows humor lives on in the quagmire in Iraq. Americans want this war canceled too, and first- and last-place networks alike are more than happy to oblige.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb CNN will surely remind us on Sunday that it is Day 19 of the Israel-Hezbollah war now branded as Crisis in the Middle East but you won’t catch anyone saying it’s Day 1,229 of the war in Iraq. On the Big Three networks’ evening newscasts, the time devoted to Iraq has fallen 60 percent between 2003 and this spring, as clocked by the television monitor, the Tyndall Report. On Thursday, Brian Williams of NBC read aloud a shame on you’ e-mail complaint from the parents of two military sons anguished that his broadcast had so little news about the war.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tRAW Story<\/em> estime que, si cette guerre n’est pas montr\u00e9e aux Am\u00e9ricains, c’est parce qu’elle n’a pas un sens tr\u00e8s compr\u00e9hensible (pourquoi les Am\u00e9ricains sont-ils en Irak ? Question sans r\u00e9ponse pr\u00e9cise). RAW Story<\/em> \u00e9crit encore : \u00ab That the latest American plan for victory is to reposition our forces by putting more of them in the crossfire of Baghdad’s civil war is tantamount to treating our troops as if they were deck chairs on the Titanic. Even if the networks led with the story every night, what Americans would have the stomach to watch?<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tL’\u00e9pisode nous confirme dans l’id\u00e9e que la perception du monde des Am\u00e9ricains d\u00e9pend quasi-exclusivement des m\u00e9dias t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9s, dans un sens cr\u00e9ateur beaucoup plus que dans un sens d’influence. Ce qu’on nous d\u00e9crit, dans le sens d’une tentative presque rationalis\u00e9e, est moins un acte de propagande (cacher le sens d’un \u00e9v\u00e9nement, le d\u00e9former, l’orienter, etc.) qu’un acte de n\u00e9gation d’un \u00e9v\u00e9nement, ce qui implique la d\u00e9marche de cr\u00e9ation en n\u00e9gatif. Il s’agit d’une tentative se rapprochant beaucoup plus du virtualisme et en aucun cas d’une d\u00e9marche de propagande.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe principe qui est derri\u00e8re cette d\u00e9marche, de la part de ceux qui l’ont naturellement<\/strong> suivie, est que la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 historique du monde d\u00e9pend de la seule communication que les \u00eatres humains (c’est-\u00e0-dire les am\u00e9ricanistes) en font, et le terme de communication pris dans son sens technique, moderne. Il s’agit d’une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence implicite \u00e0 la dynamique collective qu’a suivie l’Am\u00e9rique d\u00e8s ses origines (voir sur ce site notre texte originel sur l’empire de l’information<\/a> et un compl\u00e9ment<\/a> sur le sujet).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 1er ao\u00fbt 2006 \u00e0 10H49<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La guerre en Irak continue, pour l’instant (juste un instant) en arri\u00e8re-plan du chaos g\u00e9n\u00e9ral qui a envahi notre plan\u00e8te.
