Platypus Flosser On Sale

Grillo, freedom of the press


I'm not a fan of Cricket lately, although it is appreciated that knows how to ask important questions. Surely I'm a fan of Santoro, which is journalism with passion, sometimes at the risk of letting go astray. But it is a risk that no one can escape (if you're intellectually honest) and I consider Santoro a bulwark in front of the television monopoly on information. We hope there are no new purges.

Here is the letter published in response to international criticism after the transmission of Thursday Annozero where Vittorio Sgarbi (a man who changes the political field with the wind pulling) has become the protagonist of an attack turpiloquiante and shameful.


as always I did my job, with excellent results for the company and brought a hard drive that has had to endure during it insults and provocations stored. I think they have exercised the right to report giving account, as other programs of the highlights of the event promoted on April 25 in Turin by Beppe Grillo. I have done in the interest of the public, with a work supervisor that resulted from the well-aired, but which, if you will, President Petruccioli will be informed by listening editors and journalists who work with passion in our staff and are accustomed to using their expertise to serve the public and not for others. All participants Annozero, including Marco Travaglio, who had taken part in V-Day, were expressions of criticism and advanced relief against Grillo, there was also the person who insulted him with extreme violence. Beppe Grillo's statements on President Napolitano, already in the chronicles of all the Italian newspapers, have been reported without the will of her own. Do not bring them back would have been, in my opinion, a serious omission and a censure. The same applies to judgments about Professor Veronesi and any other public figure. Because Cricket is in fact a political entity, should only be attributed to him responsibility for any statement, as confirmed by recent rulings of the Supreme Court and as normally happens for Berlusconi, Bossi, Mastella and any other political leader. It is up to the courts and not for journalists to assess the scope of the slanderous statements made by political actors and I am not aware that there have been steps in that direction, because otherwise I would have gladly given account. I am ready to meet in any location of the correctness of my conduct and I am confident in anticipation of initiatives he intends to take the President Petruccioli, but I do not think that they can continue to allow party leaders to say what they want in public television, instead of banning a single political entity, Beppe Grillo, to express their thoughts. Rai belongs in fact to the public and not to political parties and freedom of expression is protected by the Republican Constitution.


Michele Santoro
