Milo Infante’s “gaffe”, even journalists have a heart

Milo Infante, deputy director of Rai Due, is an expert journalist, one of those who trained in the old way, reporting on the news and therefore encountering the pain and vicissitudes that add to the professional background. One could therefore reasonably imagine him as one of those reporters with a hair on his stomach, accustomed to everything, to the point that, as the old adage goes, “if they see the victim of an accident, they don’t stop to call the ambulance, but to steal her identity card and then have the photo to take to the newspaper “.

But no. During today’s episode of “2 pm”, in which the director of affaritaliani.it was also present Angelo Maria Perrino, the expert conductor has encountered a small, large Freudian slip. Introducing the link on Mesenzana’s heinous infanticide, he asked how were the childrenwho unfortunately had been killed by their father, who then completed the work by taking his own life as well.

More than a gaffe, a real one removalwhich in psychology indicates a defense mechanism consisting of erase reality, when this becomes too cruel to be able to bear it. And what other case of crime could be more chilling than such a story, that of a father considered “normal” planting a knife in the chest of the altar boy son and then of the daughter who animates the parish?

There are those who describe these acts as “inhuman”, but they are wrong: unfortunately they too are part of the human being, while animals do not kill their own puppies, feeling a natural protective instinct towards them. Humans, on the other hand, sometimes do. As a species, we know how to make ourselves the protagonists of both unspeakable actions and extraordinary acts of empathy and compassion. And in the momentary failure of Milo Infante it is precisely this that must be read: not an error, but the rejection of horror. Journalists also have a heart.
