Myrta Merlino threw a jab at his colleague from La7 Lili Gruber. During the March 28 episode of L’aria che, La7 actually attracts the host as he observes Michele Arnese on Twitter” points out that for 10 years the Guests its transmission join for free. “I wanted to say it,” he added. Lilli, tie“, comments the Startmag boss. And indeed he said verbatim: “Conversations are also possible without money, I’ve been doing this for ten years, otherwise I would be pretty closed.” That too is a small guarantee of freedom.

After all, it is known that Lilli Gruber, to Otto e mezzo, first gave some guests compensation Marco Travaglio who actually rages on his talk show. In this case it had been Michele Anzaldi, Deputy of Italia Viva and Secretary of the Rai Supervisory Commission to raise the question. And the answer was Matteo Renzi, who confirmed that Gruber paid Travaglio. “It took Renzi to let the La7 public know that Travaglio’s presence (as well as others, Scanzi for example) is paid for. Why aren’t Rai and private TV broadcasters transparent? Why don’t they tell the public if and how much the paid commentators are?” he asks on Twitter.
The recent paid guest controversy erupted around the case Alessandro Orsini in Cartabianca di Bianca Berlinguer on Rai 3. A payment of 2,000 euros per episode. However, the professor’s contract was terminated on Rai 3’s orders, much to the presenter’s annoyance.
