In third place of the podium of the worst French President goes up this week Emmanuel Macron. After the flop in the ratings he hoped that the Olympics could give him some good press and instead nHe’s not getting anything right: teams fleeing the Olympic village, athletes starved with low-protein diets, the wrong anthems, upside-down flags. And what about the brilliant idea of having athletes compete in the mud of the Seine after spending 1.4 billion to clean it? Not to mention the sabotage of the high-speed lines and fiber optic networks. A real mess. But we should have understood from the opening ceremony that the Macroniadi would have been a huge disaster. Between reveling drag queens and a Dionysus colored like a Smurf, they were transformed into a carnival that was nothing short of embarrassing and made everyone furious. An infinite amount of controversy and criticism of that parade that in the eyes of most people seemed an insult to Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper rather than a tribute to the “Festin des Dieux” by the Dutch painter Jan Harmensz van Bijlert. And again: the IOC that allows intersex athletes to compete in women’s disciplines in contempt of sports ethics. In short, an Olympics to forget.
In second place on the podium we find Richard CassiniRai author of the broadcast Your business. On Instagram, she shared a photo of Giorgia Meloni with her daughter Ginevra upon their arrival in Beijing. “The mother of fascists is always in China,” she wrote in the post. In the face of TeleMeloni! Here is the true face of Rai “monopolized by the right”: spiteful authors who insult the Prime Minister just as he is on a mission abroad for our country. Cassini’s post is more hateful than all the others that are vomited daily against Meloni because, in addition to stupidly rehashing the alarm about fascism, it hits a little girl who should never, ever be dragged into the political ring. Truly a cowardly blow.
Equally bad, in terms of freedom of information, is the “biased report” signed by the Media Freedom Rapid Response consortium and co-financed by the European Union. Journalists of Republic, Press, Everyday occurrence And Tomorrow (all newspapers sympathetically aligned with the left) have joined forces to throw mud at Meloni, painting Italy as an authoritarian country. To unmask the sources (not exactly Super partes) the journalists of the newspaper took care of this fake report Newspaper making the director furious Press, Andrea Malagutiwho, with his back to the wall, took up the typewriter to write a very violent editorial.
He described us as bullies with a narrow vision, hooligans with a hooligan attitude, a newspaper with “an inevitably lowercase g”. What an ugly page of journalism, this writing of the Press! As our director Alessandro Sallusti rightly wrote: “Liars and ridiculous too”.
