Journalism Is A Hard Thing To Do

60 short journals to due in a couple of weeks. That's the amount of work I have to do to pass one of the courses I'm taking at school. Well, in the beginning I had a couple of months to do the job but I've been procrastinating and procrastinating and now I only have two weeks and half. But I'm doing pretty well: I've already written some 40% of the initial amount. And I've found good topics: I've decided to defend all the things everybody is against. So, in my papers I support nuclear energy, the Iraq invasion, I say NO to Kyoto protocol and so on. I have learnt a lot about all those issues. I wanted to offer alternative information, to show a binocular vision about some affairs that I have always analyzed from the genuine European point of view.

But it looks I've done it far too well. As I said before I didn't write my own pre-made opinions: I wanted to act as the devil's advocate. To create some polemic. That's an aspect of journalism too. All I wrote was 100% true, even though it was the uncomfortable side of truth for the so called ecologists (ha!) and hippies and such.

But the fact is that yesterday my prof wanted to talk to me.

Her first sentence was: "Are you a fascist or what?"
