Quotes by Giovanni Sartori (?)

“Actualmente el pueblo soberano «opina» sobre todo en función de cómo la televisión le induce a opinar. Y en el hecho de conducir la opinión, el poder de la imagen se coloca en el centro de todos los procesos de la política contemporánea.”

“El problema es que el niño es una esponja que registra y absorbe indiscriminadamente todo lo que ve [...] El niño formado en la imagen se reduce a ser un hombre que no lee, y, por lo tanto, la mayoría de las veces, es un ser «reblandecido por la televisión», adicto de por vida a los videojuegos.”

“Y la cuestión es ésta: la televisión invierte la evolución de lo sensible en inteligible y lo convierte en el ictu oculi, en un regreso al puro y simple acto de ver. La televisión produce imágenes y anula los conceptos, y de este modo atrofia nuestra capacidad de abstracción y con ella toda nuestra capacidad de entender.”
