Two grotesque days talking randomly on state TV. A very long blah blah blah to get approval from the grillini, the Rai board of directors and the president Simona Agnes
Two days of radio and television ricotta pompously named “the challenges of public service” or “the general states of Rai” ended yesterday. A kind of country festival of politics, something found in the corridor or under the stairs of Viale Mazzini strongly desired by Barbara Floridaa nice parliamentarian from the 5 Star Movement who expresses herself in quite questionable Italian and who, by an unrepeatable astral conjunction, became president of the RAI Supervisory Board (or rather: she became president of Rai Supervision due to the agreements that Giuseppe Conte makes with Giorgia Meloni's right behind the back of the Democratic Party). It would be all too easy to make fun of these “general states of Rai”, above this “think tank” of the public service entrusted to the sumptuous reflections of the grillina Floridia, of the Northern League member Alessandro Morelli, of the Usigrai union and of other illustrious intellectuals who know as much about television as the average Zulus he knows about quantum physics.
The Grillo-Lega politics (but not only) in Rai more than anything goes out to pasture, places recommended and recommended messages, invites you to lunch in the restaurants along the Tiber to eat the pajata. And these “general states” – let's hold back laughter – in reality they were held without even the presence of the producers and the main trade associationsin short, without most of those who actually make television. Instead, there were, together with the dressing room and carry-over ladies, the inevitable unions which are (together with the Roman policy of the fried artichoke) what is suffocating and inexorably murdering Rai. This comical gathering of bodies at the cathode ray tube, in addition to being a (legitimate) waste of time, served to make poor Floridia feel important – someone who evidently lacks opportunities for fun – and who also insisted very much with the government and with the company top management. Who, government and company, participated en masse yesterday like many poor Rai colleagues deported there to moderate and conduct toilet debates. With a single objective, very pragmatic and powerful: to please the 5 stars, entertain the vanity of Floridia and then get the RAI board of directors and the president Simona Agnes to vote for them. Amen.
