Robert Fulford citations

Robert Fulford est un journaliste et un essayiste canadien. Né à Ottawa, il vit actuellement à Toronto.

Fulford a commencé sa carrière dans le journalisme lors de l'été de 1950 lorsqu'il quitta l'école secondaire pour aller travailler en tant que chroniqueur sportif pour le Globe & Mail. Il gravit ensuite les échelons et collabore avec le Toronto Star en 1959-1962, 1964-1968 et 1971-1987.

De 1968 à 1987, Fulford était l'éditeur de Saturday Night. Pendant les années 1990, il passe à Financial Times of Canada, The Globe and Mail et au National Post. Animateur à TVOntario pour l'émission Realities, il présente les conférences Massey en 1999. Il avait reçu l'Ordre du Canada en 1984.

Les écrits de Fulford sont habituellement proches du centre ou de la droite. Favorable à l'invasion américaine de l'Irak en 2003, il critique parfois le Parti libéral du Canada et défend le droit à la légitime défense d'Israël.

Connu pour sa critique artistique, il a beaucoup écrit à propos du groupe des onze et ses membres, en particulier de William Ronald, Tom Hodgson et Harold Town. L'artiste saskatchewanaise Mashel Teitelbaum a aussi retenu son attention. De manière générale, les opinions de Fulford retiennent l'attention de la presse et du public canadien. Wikipedia

Until Trump, no openly racist candidate in modern times has reached such a height in U.S. politics (August 5, 2016)

“In truth, modern life requires many people of talent and intelligence to run big institutions, including governments. Others resent their quality wherever they find it. They see it as oppressive. Then Donald Trump came before them and sneered at government leadership, in a style that had nothing to do with talent or intelligence…. To accomplish this, his followers needed only to mark a ballot. Soon he looked like the man they always needed. In the future, this strategy may well be called Trumpism. For now, American journalists call it populism.”

Until Trump, no openly racist candidate in modern times has reached such a height in U.S. politics (August 5, 2016)

“By winning his party’s nomination, Trump has rewritten the rules. Until this year, no openly racist candidate in modern times has reached such a height in American national politics. Trump has carelessly, perhaps jubilantly, maligned Mexicans and Muslims. … His success results from sheer intuition. He realized, as others did not, that there are many thousands of people ready to vote for a candidate preaching anti-Mexican, anti-Muslin bigotry, while also blaming America’s failures on the Chinese and on free trade.”

Until Trump, no openly racist candidate in modern times has reached such a height in U.S. politics (August 5, 2016)

“Isolationism as a stream of thought was hibernating. It was rarely articulated, but passionately held, waiting for someone like Trump to lead it. Isolationists were called the “silent majority” in Richard Nixon’s days — even though Nixon was an internationalist, who built a strong relationship with China. Trump knew how to exploit the silent majority’s mix of racism, grievances and xenophobia. He appealed to the vast national community of chronic blamers, anxious to locate the cause of American problems in China, thereby executing a double play of racism and xenophobia.”
