Andrea Giambruno’s outbursts become a political case. And Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni would have asked Forza Italia to account for the services of Striscia La NOTEIA. While his companion and host is now “afraid of everything.” Whatever I do becomes the object of mystification. What annoys me the most is that I look like this…” But while some MPs suspect conspiracies to denigrate the Prime Minister and others see it all as a form of pressure from Mediaset, the most popular theory within the company is different. That is, it is an internal maneuver to target the host after his rise in the company, which led him to host a talk show. Meanwhile, Giambruno will return to “Diario del giorno” on Rete 4 today after yesterday’s break. And Feltri defends him without ever mentioning Antonio Ricci’s broadcast.
Giambrunasca’s newspaper
The background stories that concern Meloni today can be found in La Stampa and Repubblica. The Prime Minister already knew nothing about the first scandal surrounding the journalist Viviana Guglielmi. And the color of her blouse, which is now the subject of memes on the internet. The main suspicion is that a Forza Italia political operation is behind the videos on Berlusconi family television. And also an alleged revenge for the time when she let the founder of Mediaset know that she was not “blackmailable”. According to Repubblica, Meloni asked Antonio Tajani to account for the failures. But Fedele Confalonieri would also be interested, while Piersilvio Berlusconi would be discreetly put under pressure. The shadow of a famous precedent returns: that of the Striscia attacks on Elisabetta Tulliani, the wife of the then Chamber President Gianfranco Fini.
Freedom and the Auditel of Striscia
Il Fatto Quotidiano adds that Giambruno believes there is a “traitor” in the house. That is, someone who reported the outliers to Striscia and told Ricci where to fish among the low-frequency images available to all of Mediaset. The second outbreak is also a result of pressure. In the sense that they tried in vain to avoid broadcasting. His absence as host yesterday was planned as Giambruno has long been used as a moderator at debates and conferences. Biscione’s information director Mauro Crippa says: “At Mediaset they were all victims of Striscia due to gaffes and mistakes.” But I have rarely seen a controversy as fierce as that against Giambruno. But there is another reason behind everything: Auditel. Ricci’s show often loses to its direct competitor on Rai1.
The Cold War at Mediaset
On Wednesday, Affari Tuoi reached 22% and Striscia 16%. And there is also talk of a possible closure of the program. From this perspective, there are controversies between Ricci and Pier Silvio, including digs. And according to this picture, Giambruno’s outbursts are part of the war. As well as the decision of those responsible to shorten the duration of the transfer. They also reminded the Prime Minister of the precedents. And the pact between Ricci and Berlusconi (Silvio), which their children inherited: no pressure and no censorship, only the satirical news program is responsible for what Striscia publishes. Who “always did what he wanted in his program.” If they had actually asked him to attack someone, he would have refused. From Berlusconi, who told Barbara d’Urso what questions she should ask him, to Tajani himself and Rocco Buttiglione, who tried to build alliances during the courtship, to Fini, Guido Crosetto and Matteo Renzi.
Feltri’s Defense
Emilio Fede’s escapes on Rg4 were also famous. While Giambruno privately defended himself by claiming the film was “artfully edited”. Meanwhile, he defends himself in the Giornale Feltri in response to a letter to the editor. He says the press has a “sick interest” in the prime minister’s partner that sometimes turns into “a persecution”. And then: “What did Giambruno say that was so compromising?” During an off-air episode he said “Fuck off.” Who among us doesn’t use similar expressions every day both at home and in the office? I do it every day, but I don’t consider myself a bad person for it. Throughout the entire answer, Feltri never mentions Striscia. On the other hand, as Fiorello said yesterday, is there always a divorce on a bad day?
