THE MEDIASET-GIAMBRUNO-STRISCIA LA NEWS CASE SEEN FROM THE LEAGUE: extract of an article; here is the full version

They elevated him to TV presenter and face, when he was the Prime Minister's partner, just as now they plan to suspend him and remove him given that the Prime Minister removed him. Unfortunately, the mechanism is identical: they always take note of what happens in the prime minister's private life. But what's the story? “Andrea Giambruno may have violated our code of ethics,” they tell Mediaset. Damn, yes, Mediaset's code of ethics. And there is a detail, in this whole Giambruno affair, which is there, phosphorescent, to denounce a gigantic hypocrisy that ignores the off-air and out-of-place expressions of the now almost former TV host.

Those words that everyone knows by now, Giambruno actually pronounced them in a studio in front of network delegates, television company officials who are always present in all productions, especially internal ones. And they are present precisely with the task of listening and checking. So the company was there. He knew. And then is it possible that what evidently did not seem to Mediaset to be a violation of the code of ethics – “If you want to be part of our working group you have to give something in return. There is an aptitude test: you fuck” – do you only become one when Antonio Ricci decides, after several weeks, after having kept those recordings in the freezer for months, to spread those words and those videos?

The only clear and ascertained thing is that Giambruno was not protected by himself, he was not stopped when he was impatient, he was not advised with determination when he talked too much, but was instead supported by everyone until this was deemed presumably and servilely appropriate in the the extent to which Mediaset imagined they were doing something pleasing (and it is doubtful whether it was something pleasing) to the Prime Minister. In the world designed by Ricci today a golden tapir should arrive, but not to Pier Silvio Berlusconi, but to Mauro Crippa (in the photo), the extremely powerful operational chief of Mediaset, the man who put Giambruno where he was and who now – oh yes – he discovers that the host he created was perhaps out of control “in violation of the code of ethics”.
