the past few hours - and even now, with the obsessive replay Web sites - the director of Tg1 Augusto Minzolini has given me a great lesson in journalism .
summary. Wednesday, June 17 the Corriere della Sera devotes a whole page in the investigation of the Prosecutor of Bari, the object of trafficking - bribes, beautiful women - orchestrated by a wealthy businessman to secure the procurement of health. From wiretaps - remember the survey instrument that Parliament now wants to cancel? - Another story has emerged from crime: forced prostitution . In short: at some point in his professional history, the entrepreneur said he realized that propose to politicians and officials beautiful women instead of large sums of money to get contracts in health care would pay more. Not only that: the said contractor has also realized that procure rich and powerful men in the company of beautiful courtesans - escort or simple models, it does not matter - could be a very profitable trade in itself. Leaving fuck - was never more appropriate term - in health care contracts.
The Corsera also publishes the interview in one of the protagonists in the "turnover" of the aforementioned contractor . She claims to have sold to the President of the Council and recorded meetings.
Newspaper in hand, understands the Tg1 immediately that the story can not be silent. But also understands that can not shoot it as it deserves. Tg1 we turn around, hints, coughs, swallows, mutters. And the audience at home, without the support of newspapers, we do not find their way. Even so, after the first day, the Tg1 completely stops talking about the matter.
So, yesterday, RAI President Paul Garimberti yesterday summoned the director of Tg1 Augusto Minzolini to give him a lecture on the completeness, objectivity and impartiality of information . All sulky, Augustus appeared shortly after its news in a videotaped message. "We have not talked about," he said, "because is gossip, there is still no reliable information ".
So let's recap. The reopening of the old town of L'Aquila - with a good portion of the inhabitants of the city and the province still in tents - it's news, the hypothesis that the Prime Minister has paid to enjoy the company of young girls no, the Pope's visit to the tomb of Padre Pio is news, the hypothesis that revels in a base of powerful men and was running cocaine no pretty girls, the weather alert news is, the records of Patrick D'Addario, acquired by the judiciary, no.
Thanks, Augusto . You have opened my mind and made me understand. Thanks for this great lesson journalism.
