As if there weren't more important things to think about, the Guardian attacks Rai for its idea of ​​making channels dedicated to men and women.
A controversy based on a worldwide habit, that of dividing the channels by themes and genres. This is what the Guardian is marching on, giving voice to several radical chic who cry scandal.
For the Guardian, the fact that Rai also intends to create a channel dedicated to men and one dedicated to women is sexist and disrespectful. Disrespectful to whom? For those who aren't into the genre, for feminists and so on.
It matters little if the thematic channels are spread all over the world. It matters little if public and private broadcasters have customized entire schedules.
,In this article from the British newspaper the Guardian says the reorganization of Italian public TV channels would have caused an extreme stir. Even "fury" in Italy.
Always in the same article, the Guardian says that a source at Rai said the plan was to reposition programs to better target male and female audiences, but the potential move was quashed by opposition MPs and women's groups.
And that's exactly what it's about: the fury that the Guardian speaks of would be related to the intervention of Salvatore Margiotta, a senator from the centre-left Democratic Party who sits on the broadcaster's parliamentary oversight committee.
The Guardian took the opinion of the most radical chic left as an example, with statements of the caliber of as we seek to overcome gender discrimination, In the 2019, having a public channel dedicated to a female audience and another to a male audience is crazy. It seems to be in line with the subculture of this government.
Perhaps we should remember that male and female channels they are present in every part of the world. Even major entertainment giants have “His” and “She” sections., with programs roughly preferred by men and/or women.
For more, the aim of Rai's proposals was to enrich the film offerings. This is therefore a controversy that takes its time. Despite how much the Guardian wants to give her space.
