It is truly incredible how the international press, but especially the Italian one, works. Do you remember all the mess of Navalny and the background story that his death was about a murder ordered by Putin? Well, today the Wall Street Journal reports in the front pages the revelations of the American secret services, namely that Navalny was not killed on Putin's orders. To tell the truth, however, what amazes me most is that almost no newspaper reported the news in Italy today.
There is little to say about Putin: he is someone who occupied and invaded Ukraine and is waging an absurd war, but we also need to be a little rational and reporting news certainly doesn't mean being pro-Putin. Furthermore, we all wondered what sense it made for Putin to have the opposition leader killed just a few days before the elections which confirmed him as head of the Kremlin. Today almost everyone pretends nothing has happened, at least on the front pages of the newspapers.
Talking about it doesn't mean being pro-Putin, simply means being journalists without the “helmet”. The impression I have is that, every now and then, our journalists tend to take off or put on their helmets according to their desires.
