Why Do You Get That Gut Feeling On Rollercoaster



Against Annozero Michele Santoro and Marco Travaglio, and especially against the 5 and a half million viewers who were watching the last episode dedicated to the scandal involving the sex-gate Prime Minister, now takes the field the Economic Development Minister Claudio Scajola. If

Scajola bypassed even his vice-minister of communications, it means that the clash between the government and the information system has now reached a point of no return. This is nothing but a declaration of war. A final challenge. A frontal attack on this Remains of the public and press freedom in our country.

The convening authority of the vertices Rai by the Minister to which the industry is headed, objectively constitutes an abuse of power against the Supervisory Committee which is responsible for controlling law and also on the Communications Authority. Unwarranted interference, therefore, to Parliament and the Authority of the warranty. An invasion of the field that may have been requested and authorized only by the megalomania of a prime minister who is no longer able to clearly distinguish its responsibilities from its institutional interests and his personal obsessions.

Nell'inquietante and threatening escalation against the government information, the Minister makes an explicit reference to a "media campaign based on the itching, the garbage, the shame, sull'infamia on filth," with a barrage of charges that - for this newspaper - we reject the sender and the sender without any hesitation. The itching, the garbage, shame, infamy and filth, as he calls Scajola, are not ours, do not belong to our way of making information and opinion, but to the conduct of the Prime Minister, his dubious acquaintances and relationships . It is no coincidence, as well as us, are now challenged by the international press.

In a courageous and correct, during which the insured has been widely heard, the real fault Santoro was to broadcast for the first time on Italian television a passage from one of the many interviews in recent months by Patrick D'Addario, the escort of Bari, which opened a gash on the feasts of Palazzo Grazioli, televisions across the world. A document already registered and sent abroad, and then, finally shown to the Italian viewers, mostly innocent and unaware. A first-person narrative, testimony, for no more than personal accusations.

will be true, as a protest now Scajola, which "The judiciary has not found any evidence to open investigations into the President of the Council." So far, we add. But in any case there is no need to wait for the intervention of a Court of the Republic to judge the political and moral leader of a government that, by his own admission, received "low-series' in their own homes, in its say "in an unconscious way." People prosecuted - as the entrepreneur Gianpi Tarantini, but perhaps it would be appropriate to attribute a different name - that have already stated on record that he resorted to prostitution and drugs to enter into the channels of institutional corrupt administrators and politicians, including center- ; win contracts and favors.

not therefore the newspapers, not television, not Annozero, to foster a "season of poison." These were scattered rather liberally by the President of the Council with his senile rapture, with a malpractice unworthy of its role and its function. And before convening the leaders of the Rai, to challenge alleged assault that would be intended to "overturn the election result," a minister of the Republic would do better to worry about ensuring - for his share of responsibility - the most exhaustive information for put all citizens in a position to know and evaluate.

The paradox, however, is that the case abroad Berlusconi is more known, analyzed and debated in Italy. Under anesthesia information regime, the majority of couch potatoes Italian Prime Minister still appears as the victim, helpless and innocent of a plot, a conspiracy, a conspiracy. But in reality he is the author of a scandal that has put on stage by director and featuring the main character.
