Foa, the monster of the week
by

Of Marcello Veneziani
But don't be ashamed to accuse the government in office and Salvini in particular, Of divide up the appointments as you have practiced all your life? Don't be ashamed – you leftists, you left-wing intellectual clergy, you left-wing newspapers and news, you seasoned Rai trade unionists and you more hypocritical and pompous right-thinking crypto-leftists – to cry scandal and be indignant just because the Grillini and the Northern League members, in modo naive, they follow the ways of subdivision that you have been practicing with servile professionalism for decades? On the contrary, in Renzi's time we even had to regret the usual division, because he took everything, on Rai and beyond. This time the rock of the scandal was Marcello Foa, came from the Giornale di Montanelli and then remained at the Giornale di Feltri until he moved to the Canton of Ticino to teach communication science and manage a Ticino publishing group. Never been involved in politics, no blemish on his criminal record or reputation, no suspicious connection. Nothing scandalous. But for the valiant Italian Information Collective plus Pd, starting with the Corazzata Repubblika, Foa says he is a student of Montanelli (a boaster, so), teaches manipulation of news i.e. fake news and not communication science, he is even a guest on Russia Today and therefore is a hired servant in Putin's service, he even retweeted something by one Francesca Totolo, “patriot financed by Casa Pound” (which notoriously has billions, other than poor Renzi with his little paper plane, at our expense, which cost a few hundred million).

And now go with the spare
by

Of Marcello Veneziani

They are waiting for them at the gate, with rifles drawn. On Rai, in the Ministries, in the public sector, everywhere there will be nominations. And they are already starting to mix threats and victimization. They resume, as has happened at least since 24 years, from the first short Berlusconi government, to talk about proscription lists, of severed heads, as soon as someone dares to talk about change.

Take Rai for example. Once upon a time it followed a deplorable criterion called subdivision, that is, the tasks were divided between the parties. Then Renzi arrived and played the ace-winner; and he had no alibi, But I put the best in there; no, he put scraps, napkins, licks ad personam at command posts. And now, as soon as someone mentions from the government to need to change, they adopt a proven system: they raise the bar against the government, they mark more everything that contrasts it, because then they will be thrown out, they will say it is to censor their well-known independence. And not because they are inadequate, because turnover is expected in a democracy, because they flopped, and because they were there not for merit and quality but only because they were at the service of the company. No, they will protest against discrimination, victims of the populists, sovereignists, fascists, racists, Nazis, therefore fallen for freedom. Read More
