Podríamos definirlo entonces como el arte de blanquear lo insensato.»</p><blockquote><p>«Dar un aire de sensatez a lo que no es más que una locura»</p><p><a href="https://12ft.io/https://cenital.com/sanewashing-el-arte-de-suavizar-a-los-fascistas/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><b>Sanewashing: El arte de suavizar a los fascistas</b></a></p></blockquote> <blockquote><p>«<b>El sanewashing</b> consiste en minimizar los aspectos percibidos como radicales de una persona o idea para hacerla más aceptable para un público más amplio. El término se acuñó inicialmente en debates en línea sobre <a class="" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defunding_the_police" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">la desfinanciación de la policía</a> en 2020, pero ha cobrado mayor relevancia en la crítica a las prácticas mediáticas relacionadas con <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> en las <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses de 2024.</a> Organizaciones periodísticas y comentaristas de medios han sugerido medidas que tanto lectores como escritores pueden tomar para mitigar el sanewashing.»</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanewashing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><b>Wikipedia</b></a></p></blockquote><p>Son varias notas adonde aparece ese concepto!</p><blockquote><p>«El jefe de <i>The Atlantic</i>, Jeffrey Goldberg, lo llama sesgo hacia la coherencia. “Funciona así: Trump suena como un loco, pero no puede estar loco, porque es el candidato presunto a la presidencia de un partido importante, y ningún partido importante nominaría a alguien que está loco”, escribe en su boletín. “Por lo tanto, es nuestra responsabilidad suavizar su retórica, identificar cualquier atisbo de significado, tomar a la ligera sus declaraciones extrañas y racionalizarlas”. Rebecca Solnit tiene una etiqueta mejor: <i>sanewashing</i>. “Su incapacidad para ser coherente queda prácticamente oculta para el público, a menos que estén escuchando directamente o leyendo medios alternativos”, dice. En nuestro esfuerzo por mantener el sentido, por gestionar la disonancia cognitiva que domina la campaña, estamos haciendo luz de gas al lector.

Sobre todo los progresistas, por miedo a parecer sesgados con lo que sería la transcripción literal de sus desvaríos, digresiones, cambios de tema, obsesiones, frases sin final coherente y, por supuesto, mentiras e insultos.
