What if Plácido Domingo were guilty? Not of any fact that entails criminal responsibility, but simply of what is accused in a report. Including a continued abuse of power thanks to being you who are , hardly reportable to any court because we are not before an official or public office. The tenor has the right to the presumption of innocence , like every neighbor's son, something that keeps repeating itself these days. And, in reality, they are not lacking paladins willing to put their feet and hands in the fire for it. Those who never miss the opportunity to lash out against feminism , and let's not say against a movement like the #MeToo that produces hives, have launched themselves into the jugular of hysterical witches who, they say, have nothing better to do every day than point to some auspicious victim to put it in the public pillory.

Hopefully Domingo is a holy man of ethically irreproachable behavior - if not, he would still be the best Spanish voice of the century, what a mania with mixing everything. But it is surprising that those with more emphasis have been launched to disqualify that the matter has exploded are journalists or others who seem to be in the media. Let's see if Domingo is a black leg representative of that pedantry that we call Spain brand , the sesera is clouded and we are determined to throw stones against the roof of this increasingly discredited profession. Is it perhaps saying that the Associated Press has not done its job and has published any film to make the artist bitumen? It is said: except for a woman who has turned her face, the rest are anonymous . As if in the journalistic exercise it was not usual practice. But this does not mean that the agency does not know up to the number of each one standing, that it has not spent months of research to collate the data, to confirm not its truth, but its truthfulness, which is what is required. And even more. Before publishing the bomb, the agency has interviewed another thirty people who have provided information on the case and several have ratified testimonies of the complainants . Finally, the agency contacted the singer, who made public a confusing statement in which he came to admit part of the facts, apologizing for the change in social perception regarding certain sexual behaviors .

The possibility that celebrities - musicians, athletes or politicians - stained their reputation for the publication of news that is not confirmed in the end cannot have decisive weight. Unless you want to stop doing journalism.
