EDITORIAL

News media and migration The VPRC survey on migration in Greece which was made public yesterday reveals a society that is tolerant but also confused about this very significant and relatively new trend. An overwhelming 88 percent of Greeks said that they do not see migrants as a problem, nor do they mind living or working next to them. On the other hand, the poll found that although 88 percent feel that foreigners do jobs that are rejected by Greeks, 56 percent still blame migrants for the country's unemployment.

COMMENTARY

Beyond the drama In an extremist Islamic environment, an adulteress would be stoned to death. In a Christian fundamentalist one, the cuckold would shave his wife's head. In modern societies, public persecution is milder in character. But the spectacle-loving public shares the same primitive feeling: a secret relief that what is going on inside their own homes also happens to the most respected families.
