El reflejo del caso Jackson

Andrew Sullivan cuenta cómo el caso Jackson refleja el triste estado de la cultura americana - y de mucha de nuestro mundo postmoderno. Los estadounidenses se reflejaron en Jackson y vieron algo que no quieren ver: su sombra.

"A very strange thing happened during what had been breathlessly billed as the "trial of the century." Americans turned off. Yes, the Michael Jackson trial has spawned its "media circus," its occasional tabloid splashes, and its cable news shows. But compared to the trials of, say, Martha Stewart, Scott Peterson (the man who murdered his wife and dumped her in a lake), or, of course, O.J. Simpson, the whole affair has been a bit of a dud.... the Jackson trial focuses attention on features of American culture that most Americans simply don't want to acknowledge or handle...."

Lectua obligada para entender mucho de lo que sucede hoy, sin darnos cuenta...
