All the shots by Michele Santoro on Speranza, left, Rai and more
What has Michele Santoro said in recent days about Rai and the left in his countless television appearances to advertise his latest book " Nothing but the truth " published by Marsilio.
It has been about a week since Michele Santoro has returned to appear on the Italian television networks. The occasion is the release of his new book " Nothing but the truth ", published by Marsilio. During his television shows Santoro – in addition to talking about Maurizio Avola's revelations about the via D'Amelio massacre – thundered against the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza , against Rai, against the head of the Rai company, Fabrizio Salini, and against communication management in this pandemic year.
RAI, FROM PUBLIC SERVICE TO PUBLIC ORDER
The former conductor of " Public Service " launches a very hard attack on Rai and does so from the columns of the newspaper " Doman i". “More than public service I would speak of public order service. Rai is behind – says Santoro -. There are two monuments left, Vespa and Berlinguer , which are broadcast by the surname they bear, but saving Report , there is still no one able to change the political agenda, to really affect. The Ra i fiction is reduced to a collection of commissioners. Everything that is problematic has been ruled out for a preliminary ruling ”.
THE RAI BY MICHELE SANTORO
During the program " Otto e mezzo " conducted by Lilli Gruber Santoro remembers, not without nostalgia, the Rai in which he worked. “Rai information when I was there was by far the strongest from the point of view of in-depth analysis – said Santoro, guest of La 7 together with Gad Lerner -. We aired simultaneously with Gad Lerner, Minoli and Bruno Vespa in the late evening. Rai made 70% in that time slot. They demolished it because the problem was the targets. But how in the public service is the target problem? Information is the problem of public service. They demolished because in their opinion it was competition that had to be avoided ”.
DISSENT NOT TOLD BY PUBLIC TV
Michele Santoro also criticizes with the TV story of the pandemic. "IS a year and a half that I see all the editions of the news and they all end with people who have nothing to complain about the vaccine policy – continues Santoro from Lilli Gruber -. There is a very large critical area of dissent in the country that is not represented. It is communication, it is not information ”. Today, in a conversation with La Stampa, he increased the dose: “LaRai once produced the Octopus which generated reactions in the country, political insurrections, Enzo Biagi's specials. Today the maximum debate he manages to generate is whether Commissioner Montalbano did well or did wrong to leave his partner in that way ”. “ There was a time when Lerner, Minoli and Vespa were on the air at the same time. And the ratings also reached 70 percent. It was decided to reduce the in-depth study to just one and Rai lost its primacy. The first victim was Raidue, the Annozero network, the one that launched Arbore and Benigni. It has become a network, so to speak, for young people, which only imports formats from abroad with newly born companies. Rai should invent the formats and not buy them. It is shrouded in conformist fog with executives who are unable to invent programs, are parceled out but have no vision of the world and surround themselves with families and clients ”.
SANTORO AGAINST SALINI: "WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE ARRIVING IN RAI?"
Michele Santoro was also a guest of Massimo Giletti 's show “ Non è l'Arena ”. During the Sunday evening program, a face to face with the conductor was the protagonist, in which he did not spare point criticisms of the RAI CEO, Fabrizio Salini. “What did this general manager manage before joining Rai? He was a director here in La and I think he was a bit of a shadow director – Santoro warns -. Then he went to work in a production company, where I don't know how many people work, maybe 20, I don't know where he was in a closet of this production company. And this is enough to take over a reality that has tens and tens of thousands of people who work there. This is the key point ”.
DISAPPOINTMENT FOR RAI CINQUESTELLE
Inevitably, the attacks on public television led Santoro to criticize those who administered that public television in recent years and had promised to change it. "I would have expected that the era of the 5 Stars had brought a fight against censorship, a violent transgression within Rai, instead it seems to me that they immediately sat down in the armchairs and chose men suitable for them – said the former host of Anno Zero by Lilli Gruber -. Rather than reform the public service. I would have seen Travaglio, director of TG1 well, because this is how revolutions are made ”.
SANTORO AGAINST HOPE: "BUT WAS NOT A REVOLUTIONARY ONCE?"
Michele Santoro also participated in the show “ Speciale Mafia, the search for truth ” conducted by Enrico Mentana . An interview with the former host of Moby Dick is aired during the broadcast to the mafia killer Maurizio Avola . Santoro, however, also speaks of current events and in particular reserves a sharp lash to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza (a leading exponent of the left-wing Leu party). “He is always there and is in the shadow if someone criticizes him, but wasn't he a revolutionary? But take the criticism well, get out of this plaster dress in which you forced yourself – Santoro harangues in front of the amused Mentana and Purgatori -. I see him in these connections from Floris always standing with the tie … and that's it! Go and see what the situation is like in the hospitals , go see what the situation is like in Calabria , get your hands dirty, let us feel that you are appealing to us too ”. The intemperate continues by turning our thoughts to the younger generations, the most damaged by the health and economic crisis of recent years. “I do not speak for myself, I am 70 years old soon, but I think how many difficulties will young people find? We are losing generations, but how do you bring up Calabria if those who remain are the most stupid – concludes Santoro -. How do you bring up Italy if those who remain are the most stupid. When we bring young people back to have a passion for their country then we will say alive Draghi but until then the paradigm, the promises, have bored me. And restaurateurs? We can say "close" and not say how much the refreshments are and what they can do while they are not working. Here we talk about dignity ”.
How is the left? La Stampa asks Santoro today, who replies: “I don't see it, there is no left. Letta must undertake to give an identity to this party that cannot limit itself to marrying a few campaigns for rights, it must face the gigantic problem of the redistribution of wealth ”.
