Justicia, medios de comunicación y polarización política. El caso colombiano

Abstract

Once the peace agreement was signed in September 2016 by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, after a critical peace process that temporarily ended with an armed confrontation with the insurgent group Farc-EP-, tense positions were unleashed that friction of various kinds resulted, which to this day persist with no foreseeable scenarios of peace; on the contrary, Colombia is going through one of the most complex moments of its history, trapped in a political polarization that borders on fundamentalism which permeates its institutions, the media and society in general, which makes reflective dialogue between the different ideological positions, which have made the social cleavages that have characterized the national society as one of the most fragmented in the hemisphere even more noticeable. Given this precedent, this article proposes, using a constructivist approach supported by qualitative methodologies such as the semi-structured interview plus the analysis of columnists who address the issue, examine the Justice-Media-Polarization equation, to identify the risks of instrumentalization of the media -and / or journalists-, and how, a kind of network of components separates them from their ontological duty, which converges in a revival of polarization, an exhausting fact for democracy and threatens the rule of law when resorting to disqualification, thus distorting any scenario of balanced debate, a phenomenon that observes a high degree of damage to the judicial system, especially the search for discredit from the highest entity: the Supreme Court of Justice.
