BULOS VENDIDOS COMO VERDADES Y VERDADES VENDIDAS COMO BULOS//HOAXES SOLD AS TRUTHS AND TRUTHS SOLD AS HOAXES
El diccionario de la lengua
española define como bulo, una noticia falsa, transmitida por vía oral,
difundida con fines interesados.
De esto, los políticos son
expertos en la materia, sea cual sea su signo ideológico, valiéndose en su
difusión por medios afines a sus respectivas siglas de partido.
Al final de la película, los espectadores
(el pueblo liso y llano) salimos del cine, sin poder discernir, cual es la
auténtica verdad y quien de las partes implicadas tiene la razón, pues en
ocasiones no la tiene ninguna de las partes y en otras, la tienen a medias las
dos, pues como dice el refranero: “media verdad es peor que la mentira”.
No es nada fácil la solución al
dilema, porque si antes era complicado, ahora, con la llamada Inteligencia
Artificial, con la que un simple video de un determinado personaje hablando, al
que le cambian el diálogo, imitando su voz a un grado de timbre, que roza la perfección,
ni usted, querido lector, ni yo, que trato de plasmar la idea, podríamos
apostar nada, de si es verdad o no lo que estamos viendo y oyendo, siendo tarea
casi imposible llegar a conocer la historia real.
Como dijo en una ocasión un
determinado político de Israel: “En los temas de Oriente Medio, de lo que te
cuenten, créete solo la mitad y de esa mitad que te quedas, subdivídela en dos, dejando una de ellas al beneplácito de la duda”.
Nada nuevo bajo el sol, pues ya en
el siglo I, San Mateo hablaba de la facilidad de los escribas y fariseos en
transgredir las palabras (Mt. 23, 27-32)

The dictionary of the Spanish language defines a hoax as false news, transmitted orally, disseminated for interested purposes.
There are times when a certain event is
classified as a hoax, when in fact it had happened as it was publicly
disseminated. On other occasions it happens, on the contrary, what was
disseminated as true is diametrically opposed to what really happened.
Politicians are experts in the field, whatever
their ideological sign, using it in its dissemination by media related to their
respective party acronyms.
At the end of the film, the spectators (the
plain and simple people) leave the cinema, without being able to discern which
is the real truth and which of the parties involved is right, because sometimes
neither of the parties is right and at others, both are half-right, because as
the saying goes: "half truth is
worse than lies".
The solution to the dilemma is not easy at all,
because if before it was complicated, now, with the so-called Artificial
Intelligence, with which a simple video of a certain character speaking, whose
dialogue is changed, imitating his voice to a degree of timbre that borders on
perfection, neither you, dear reader, nor I, who try to capture the idea, We could bet nothing on whether or not what
we are seeing and hearing is true, being an almost impossible task to get to
know the real story.
As a certain Israeli politician once said:
"On Middle Eastern issues, believe only half of what you are told, and of
that half that you keep, subdivide it in two, leaving one part to the blessing
of doubt."
Nothing new under the sun, because already in
the first century, St. Matthew spoke of the ease of the scribes and Pharisees
in transgressing words (Mt. 23:27-32)
