Massimo,
when I heard that you were going to Moscow, I felt very proud of knowing you. I
thought you were going to address Russian viewers rather than Italian viewers. Then
I understood that this was not the case. I imagined you were going to speak
with a top official and you are going to make us proud of our free press. Instead,
as I said more politely to Myrta, I am witnessing total servilism to the worst kind of propaganda that also
employs “useful idiots”.
For example,
Cacciari at the beginning spoke about the prestige of the Kremlin. The palace behind you (Kremlin), you should
remind your viewers, is where the worst crimes against humanity of the 20th
and 21st centuries were organized.
The palace
is full of shit. You should have the courage to say to your hosts there that
the palace behind you is place full of shit. Because communists there
orchestrated the worst tragedies of the last two centuries.
Therefore,
it makes me upset to see a journalist I respect ( Massimo Gilleti) be called “child”
and “incompetent” by an idiot ( Maria
Zakharova) who does not know what she is talking about. Because we have freedom,
we know it, and we defend it.
I will not
be the fig-leaf for these two idiots (literally: testicles) next to you . Therefore,
I have decided to leave, I refuse my remuneration and I end my participation in
this farce. Thank you.
