Darken: it's time for the auxiliaries. Usigrai, Saviano and Bortone take sides
We talked yesterday about the Scurati case. But in the meantime the situation has evolved and the “auxiliaries” have taken to the field, that is, the troops supporting Darken up.
Then Roberto Saviano met again from the golden exile of New York who immediately jumped up like one of those wind-up puppets to remind us that what happened to Scurati had happened to him too: “The same thing happened to me but I was defended by few”, is the headline in today's Corriere della Sera in an interview in which the author of Gomorrah complains with a touch of envy for Scurati who is taking away from him the position of anti-regime intellectual, which is also very coveted these days. Saviano's tactic is to hook up the Scurati case to remind us that the real victim of the “regime” is him who had his planned Insider broadcast cut off (but he is smarter because it seems that he was paid the same for the program). Maybe the colleague who stole the limelight isn't very nice to him but uses him in an anti-Meloni way and makes fun of him. In fact he goes around and around and Saviano di Scurati doesn't seem to care a damn since his refrain is about the failure to air “my Insider, for example”, his tongue clicks where his tooth hurts.

The struggle to be the number one “anti-regime” intellectual it is harsh and ruthless and not everyone has the catty-communist cunning of Marco Damilano who cheated his competitors not only by remaining in Rai after the van from l'Espresso but also by strengthening his position with the program “The Horse and the Tower” broadcast from our friend Rai 3. Then the usual Usigrai “statement” could not be missing, a classic to which the “red help” has accustomed us. Then on Sunday the text was read live on the news, which pleasantly recalls the 70s: “The control of Rai's top management over public service information becomes more suffocating every day. After having emptied two channels of their identity, the managers appointed by the Government are now intervening by blocking even unwelcome guests, such as Antonio Scurati who was entrusted with a monologue on April 25th, on a network, Rai3, whose schedule has now been completely distorted and unrecognizable for the viewers.
The same company that spent 6 million euros on the Avanti Popolo program is now putting forward economic reasons for the exclusion of Scurati. Motivations already denied by the facts. We are faced with a pervasive system of control that violates the principles of journalistic work. The assembly of the RAI editorial committees on Wednesday proclaimed a state of unrest and approved 5 days of strike. Dear viewers, we dissociate ourselves from the company's decisions and fight for an independent, balanced and plural public service.”
A heartbroken Serena Bortone communicates the Scurati drama
So for the next 5 days Rai journalists “will be agitated” (more than usual). This is the terrible news that the Italian people received, interrupting trifles such as two pre-world wars. And finally there is the journalist Serena Bortone who is getting the limelight and so she quickly ran for cover by reading Scurati's 1,800 “euro” monologue live, hopefully for free or at least without a surcharge on the already generous earnings.
The golden monologue (in the sense of costs) was to be broadcast on his program Chesarà. Serena is “anti-fascist” and Catholicopenly left-wing and therefore – by logical deduction – belonging to that mythical area of the Catholic-communists (mother catechist father with seminary studies) which however in Rai is firmly in the hands of the aforementioned Damilano who has repeatedly made it clear that he does not there's tripe for cats.
On Saturday she appeared very dejected and heartbroken to communicate the disaster that had occurred: “I learned on Friday evening, with dismay, and by pure chance, that Antonio Scurati's contract had been cancelled. I couldn't get any plausible explanations.” It's sad that a journalist who is usually lively and talkative like you had to spend a sleepless night over “the Scurati drama” but we hope that you have overcome the trauma given the developments of the following Sunday.
