Marco Travaglio’s editorial
But do me a favor 11-03-2024
Doublings. “Chiara Ferragni as Joker on the cover of The Express. The influencer: ‘Denigrated and debased, now legal action’”, “Chiara Ferragni responds to the cover ofEspresso: ‘Beautiful, thanks to everyone who wrote to me on social media’” (Repubblica.it, 8.3). One of the two: either there are two Chiara Ferragnis, or Republic has two sites.
The second tragic Pina Fantozzi. “Travaglio dedicates his front page editorial to me using the patriarchal technique of mocking the interlocutor” (Pina Picierno, Pd, vice-president of the European Parliament, 8.3). Pina, don’t underestimate yourself: no patriarch, not even Noé, would ever be able to mock her better than she already does.
Pharaonic expenses. “Public spending for the Superbonus is out of control and the genesis of this disaster is entirely in the hands of Giuseppe Conte and the M5S” (Davide Faraone, deputy IV, Sheet, 9.3). Instead the IV who voted for him, Pharaoh included, and also lent him the Marattin speaker, has nothing to do with it.
Autocomplotto. “Renzi opens Leopolda: ‘Certain prosecutors violate the law, they wanted to shut us down’” (Messenger, 9.3). Then he did it on his own.
Aces up your sleeve. “With Schlein the music is changing, but the axis with the prosecutors must be broken” (Enza Bruno Bossio, National Direction of the Pd, Unit, 28.2). Right: we need to go back to the one with the convicted criminals.
Famous Last Words/1. “Todd is the third wheel” (Renato Soru, Sheet, 23.2). “How can the Democratic Party ally itself with someone like Conte? I believe that a turning point will start from Sardinia. Renato Soru left the party and gave life to a Sardinian coalition… a true credible alternative… In short, the wind of the gentle revolution has begun” (Andrea Viola, blogger Fattoquotidiano.it, 29.1). But indeed.
Famous last words/2. “Nikki Haley shows no signs of quitting” (Sheet, 24.2). “Haley determined to stay in the running” (Corriere della Sera, 25.2). “Haley doesn’t give up” (Press, 26.2). Nikky Haley has no intention of giving up” (Paolo Guzzanti, Reformist, 6.3). “Nikki Haley withdraws from the race for the White House” (Ansa, 6.3). And never mind, that’s how it went.
Extremely topical. “Duel between FdI and dem. Pd barricades in Aul for the medal for Tito. In the Chamber the law to remove the honor from the Slavic massacrer. The left doesn’t agree and responds with an amendment: banish all recognition of fascists” (Libero, 7.3). Still nothing on Napoleon.
It was Putin. “There is a strong suspicion in Poland that farmers’ protests against Ukrainian grain imports are fueled by Russian propaganda. Even in France, where rural protests show no sign of calming down, President Macron has denounced the interference of Russia’s disinformation and cyber war” (Sheet, 5.3). Of course, what do farmers know about cereals? Obviously they ask the well-known agronomist Putin for clarification.
I garantisti. “The grandiose Caporetto of the manectari”, “Davigo’s sentence is a step forward”, “The only dossier for now is his”, “There is a judge in Brescia. The penal code is worth more than the Da Vigo code” (Sheet, 8.3). “Sin. She did badly. A second sentence for Davigo, the prosecutor who has been a moralizer for years in unified networks” (Reformist, 8.3). “The executioner Davigo violated official secrecy to hit a colleague” (Identity, 8.3). What was that story about everyone being innocent until the Court of Cassation?
Caught in the act. “Interview with the writer Percival Everett: ‘The USA like the Roman Empire, democracy is at risk. Trump preys on ignorance’” (Republic, 6.3). Those who are educated, on the other hand, vote for the idiots.
Trasceche? “The experience of the transcendental, of the vertical, is something that I have always continued to seek in other places of existence” (Alessandro Baricco, Reading-Corriere della sera, 10.3). How can the rock dam the sea and the transcendental be vertical? Or did he mean transcendent?
I’m sorry. “Maurizio Mannoni speaks. From Di Cesare to Orsini, ‘who said that you need a shot to gain an audience’?” (Sheet, 8.3). To avoid any misunderstanding, no one looked at him.
The title of the week/1. “The difficult year for Fuortes, the former Rai manager who remained without positions” (Corriere della Sera, 9.3). Oh, no, poor star, what do we do now?
The title of the week/2. “From Golda Meier to Poreč, anti-Semitic shame” (Press, 9.3). Like the shame of distorting Golda Meir’s surname by calling her Meier.
The title of the week/3. “Who wanted to frame Crosetto?” (Stefano Zurlo, Newspaper, 8.3). Crosetto.
The title of the week/4. “The Italian street artist embraces the tsar. Calenda: ‘The useful idiots of dictators’” (Messenger, 8.3). Then there are the useless ones.
The headline of the week/5. “Vannacci: ‘Am I a candidate? I’ll tell you a few days before” (Republic, 4.3). Afterwards, in fact, it would be late.
The headline of the week/6. “For peace, Hamas surrenders” (Bernard-Henri Lévy, Republic, 8.3). He talks to us.
