"The real news is that this damn newspaper is sinking," yells the director of the Washington Globe to Russell Crowe in the movie State of Play. They must have heard her to London. Because the preparation of the Daily Telegraph has been put to work. It sells for a week in more than one hundred thousand copies a day. The investigation of his own team of over twenty reporter is putting an entire political class to his knees. The newspaper obtained (buying it under the table) the list of expenses of British MPs. Some people are made to pay those Christmas decorations and a new toilet seat. Most of them did not violate the law. But in times of economic crisis find that MEPs spend public money that has angered voters. Rightly so. Not only must the judiciary to determine what is acceptable behavior of politicians. This shows that when the newspapers they do their work, make the mighty tremble. And sell more copies. "
Unfortunately, this in Italy have not yet understood. The sensationalism combined with spectacular low become the tools of politics that used to sell newspapers and that make poor (..) journalists. Investigative journalism no longer exists, is reduced to a photo of the "premier" that you pass the foundation behind a handkerchief meeting of Confindustria. One effect is the miseducation of the Italian Civil arriving to make strange associations (parliament and institutions -----> gossip tissue vacation) worth anthropological studies. Patience. But then comes into play personalism: the political figures in the table are built by teams of experts. Prepared to handle all the pieces of garbage that takes an increasingly the boundaries of corporate marketing of the Mafia. Experts from the same school of Masonic those planning the attack with uncanny ease to devices that guarantee us to say "Italy is a democratic republic" etc etc.
