Leap: no to goodism but even more so not to evilism

Holder ofThe World"Inside the Salt hornets' nest, where Imam Diawara has preferential treatment with the City Council and the Mossos d'Esquadra need reinforcements." On the front page, there's a call to action on the issue, crammed into a small space with phrases like "hornets' nest," "riots," "alert," "conflictive," "high immigration," and "crime." It's true that the progressive media have hidden their heads in the sand when faced with the problems arising from waves of migration. Things need to be explained. Of course, from a complex perspective, broadening the focus so that both sides of the scale can be seen.The World, in this sense, exploits the fear of immigration with clearly malicious intent.

Cover of this Sunday's edition of 'El Mundo'.

Only on the surface can we understand why the headline speaks of preferential treatment for the imam, yet within the text, there is no justification or mention of the favor he has received, unless a meeting with City Hall staff already counts as a bonus. In fact, the issue arose because Diawara and his family were denied a house, considering they had sufficient income. From there, the columnist attempts to blame the religious leader for the riots. She stops him on the street and confronts him, but he distances himself from the riots and attributes them to "bad people." Since he doesn't tell her what she wants to hear, she then dismisses the explanation as "strange" and "hardly credible." If what she told you was all that, and you haven't found any evidence that he was the instigator, what's the point of going to Salt and talking to her? In fact, later in the article, it is suggested that a union with ties to the CUP may have capitalized on the discontent over the imam's eviction and fueled the destruction. There is a complete disconnect between what the journalist actually found (including interested police sources) and the dramatic nature of the headlines. The goal was to stoke fear of immigration, linking it to crime, but the anti-establishment figures were a nuisance in the mix. And they don't sell as many newspapers as xenophobia.
