Although bizarre is read and heard, human beings, since time immemorial, have been fascinated by cruelty. Regardless of who produces it -the state or individuals- violence attracts, seduces, has its own auditorium. And those who reject it are, unfortunately, a tiny minority. The media have taken the macabre role that the public square played in the Middle Ages. It is not a naive phenomenon but a millionaire business in which the creation of a society of extreme vigilance is promoted that moves capital towards the owners of the media and a whole wide spectrum of business as builders of developments in which it is sold the false illusion of being absolutely free from all the penury proper to the world of the weakest, who are regularly associated with a discourse of a criminal nature. This relationship "crime-media-fear-risk-market-security-neoliberalism-migrant-enemy" displaced those who really study the criminal phenomenon from serious analysis of it and instead installed a whole lying language in which those who they end up pontificating on social control are people without any study, not even elementary, on criminology, who are always at the service of the owner of a medium. It is exposed how these agents end up designing "a fierce enemy" and impose the neoliberal criminal policy, which has no major differences with the criminal policy of Nazism, since their interest is the same: trying to eliminate the one who looks different.

Palabras clave : Media; communication; alarm; social; neoliberalism; law; criminal; idiotization; entertainment.
