The latest developments of the Fatto Quotidiano pro Conte and Arcuri campaign. I Graffi di Damato
Ah, the strength of a photo, but also – as we shall see, albeit in reverse – of a photomontage.
The photo and that of the Draghi couple – the Prime Minister and his wife – at the back of a room, sitting and talking to each other, awaiting the turn of vaccination when they are over seventy with the much-contested AstraZeneca, albeit authorized by the competent European agency of I also check the new name, I believe, that has been given to Vaxzevria. And precisely this of the specific vaccine that the Dragons, like their son who lives in London, agreed to be injected and the most important message of that photo: “the gesture”, as Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian Episcopal Conference. That the President of the Council, also a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences personally appointed by the Pope,
It is comforting to see a public man, so to speak, without even bothering the figures of the President of the Republic, who also recently underwent the vaccination, or of the Prime Minister, who makes an exemplary “gesture” of immediate reading or understanding.
And now let’s move on to the photomontage of the cover of the usual Fatto Quotidiano in which General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo – the extraordinary commissioner for the viral emergency who replaced Domenico Arcuri, regretted by that newspaper as a champion stabbed and deposed by the government who succeeded that of Giuseppe Conte , also unhorsed by treachery – is exposed to the scorn of readers with its decorations and its degrees stuffed with chocolate eggs, provolone, roasted chicken and more.
And that demonstrates the “last” that the general allegedly committed according to “the auditors”, those of the homonymous Court, spending “without criteria” 850 million euros “and also sponsorships to pay the hotspots”. They are “disputes”, I repeat, by admission of the same newspaper, which however with that photomontage and in the context of its way of seeing the administration of justice become in fact, plural of the Fact, already a definitive sentence of conviction, in a summary trial of printed paper.
I wonder, indeed I go back to asking myself, with the usual naivety or the usual retribution of an elderly person who has spent a good part of his life in the newsrooms, among the old typewriters and the computers that have since taken their place, if this can be really considered journalism. Or how else should it be considered and defined. And I wonder the day after the approval in the Chamber, finally, of a European directive on the presumption of innocence against the unfortunately widespread habit of presenting even with “public declarations” by magistrates and their extensions a person “as guilty” not only in the absence of judgment but even after “judicial decisions other than those on guilt”. European directive, rule of law, seriousness of information and more….
