The big topic of the day is the nomination affair. In reality, however, the important appointments for us journalists have already been taken, since we are starving, we are only interested in mother Rai.
Among other things, I read that today in Messenger I would be in pole position to go back to Rai. As you will recall, I worked there for three years, but I joined when he was director Luigi Gubitosi, the only general director not affiliated with any political party, completely out of the picture. He was nominated by Mario Monti, which I looked at and loathed. I got to know Rai and experienced first-hand what happens when the manager changes after three years. They fuck you just like it happened to me. Was my schedule bad? Bullshit, virus was fine. They fucked me because I I wasn’t part of that damn clique that was responsible for Rai back then. Do you remember Campo Dall’Orto? The perfect jerk at the top of Rai.
In this panorama where everyone in Rai has been minding their own business, it now turns out that the Meloni doesn’t want to keep the men on the left. I also found the interview with extraordinary Lollobrigida who says: “No, but what do you say? Yesterday we issued a decree to limit the retirement age of opera house presidents to 70, but it has nothing to do with Fuortes, who is the managing director of Rai.” This decree would actually allow Fuortes to take the place of Lissner, president of the Naples Opera House. It is precisely what all governments have always done with Rai. We live in a gigantic bubble of hypocrisy where when the left makes the appointments everyone is competent, while when the right makes them the heavens are open.
But nobody dares to question Damilano, who gets 1,000 euros per episode for a newspaper strip, because in short: Damilano, like his left-wing colleagues, is very good. So much for today Sallusti steps in and says “Knock Knock, take it out on the right because it decides to change the men the left has put in those places?” No, explain it to me Men on the left are doing well, men on the right are not? For example, should we stay with INPS Tridico right now when there is a government that wants to change basic income?
Lollobrigida says: “No, but imagine, Fuortes can stay CEO of Rai as long as he wants.” Not even the sister believes in the fact that they issued this decree to streamline the retirement age. It’s clear they did it to make room for Fuortes. If politics has to live off these hypocrisies, live for them, but Let’s not hide behind a finger.
