It seems to me that the average level of conversation is slightly dropping... but maybe I'm wrong... guys, get yourselves together.

Yes, but let's not demolish the foundations of the legal democracy shared by 90% of the legal systems worldwide. Anyone is innocent until a final conviction is reached, but I know you know that... the rest is just CHIT-CHAT. I invite you to brush up on the concept of "contumacia," as, according to our legal system, in the absence of the defendant, any trial continues, often even faster (I have the proof). I don’t deny, because I’m not an idiot, that those who can afford excellent lawyers find all sorts of ways to delay things, mainly by requesting expert opinions or assessments that the judge can rarely deny, and that in trials with a vast evidentiary framework (and crimes with very light penalties) this can lead to prescription (but it takes a lot…). Just for the sake of clarity, ONLY witnesses can be forcibly brought to court by the Carabinieri. If you or Silvio were to kill your unfortunate sisters, I guarantee you, the trial would reach a verdict with or without your presence in a maximum of a year and a half. If we want to be meticulous and attentive to understand the world around us, as you seem to rightly demand, we need to know what we’re talking about. And then, believe me, according to our constitution (which everyone envies us for), being acquitted or not reaching a verdict (regardless of the reason) holds the same legal value, which is called INNOCENCE. We can, rather, discuss as long as you want about the "moral value" of such events, a thing with which obviously Silvio and many like him wipe their behinds right in front of you and me. Now I'm going to eat.

The process is "public" primarily because it is accessible to citizens even during the trial, as opposed, for example, to the "council chambers" foreseen on several occasions. Access to the transcripts, moreover, is guaranteed to anyone and at all times, regardless of the type of process, once the motivations of the judgment that has become final are filed. This is just to clarify. According to the rules of our legal system, then, prescription interrupts the process. So technically those that NES wants to sell as ignorant are correct because a process that does not reach a judgment cannot ascertain the existence or non-existence of crimes. This is just for precision, and to get insulted a bit by those who might think that I say this to defend LUI. I would say it even if someone slandered the antiLUI of the moment, attributing to them crimes that no trial, by reason of prescription or other factors, has certified as actually occurred. ;)

The writing isn't super smooth, but the concept you want to convey is fairly clear, perhaps expressed in a way that's a bit too "visceral." I agree with those who wrote that live performances are terrifying (in a positive sense). In Milan, I saw them and 10 other bands in a mega concert; only Bad Religion managed to hold their ground as a wall of sound. They're always a bit too technical for my taste. This album doesn't appeal to me much. From what little I've heard, it's the same old tune that's already become somewhat tiresome. I agree that the production needs reworking.

Very good review. A record that bores me 70% of the time.

Francis, I'm sorry, but you're being naive. Besides the fact that on XFACTOR there are judges and not jurists, know that 80% of the fees for the guests are paid by the sponsors you see on air before and after the performance, just like in most TV programs, including Santoro's. As for the fact that I personally admire Travaglio's brain and envy him for what he does, I've already expressed that. Good for him and foolish for me. NES's intervention is funny, but you're missing the point. Too easy and obvious. Go online and see how much MONDADORI pays in taxes to the state annually, which is just one of the 1000 companies linked to the national Silvio. And be careful, I don't mean to say that HE is a saint or anything like that... on the contrary... I'm not blind. But I stubbornly try to make those who seem to have a bit of brains understand that the truth is not always and only that laid out in the "partisan" talk shows late at night. That's all.

More than having already asked forgiveness for the use of the term, I don't know what to do. It seems to me already too much. I wouldn’t want to appear presumptuous... there’s no way that TRAV can’t teach me anything! On the contrary! I admire him for his dialectics, attention, and generally for his legal-institutional preparation. You have touched upon the very painful topic of the use of media to channel the populace (those who read not even a book a year, to use your euphemism) towards a distorted idea. And that of TRAV is distorted, in my humble opinion, only because it is excessively catastrophic or, perhaps better (otherwise you’ll scold me for using the terms, defeatist!). And it is not due to deficiencies of the professional itself, but rather to the need of those who stimulate and sponsor him to create “audience.” I’ll stop here, otherwise we won’t finish; I invite you to read my (humble) definition of the excellent SAVIANO always here on the debaseriano site. For me, the two (great minds), are now just tools. This is how I see it.

FRANCIS: peace made. But if you reread what you wrote, the personal insults seem pretty obvious to me. GENOO: I really like your comment no. 26. Substantial, I would say, and then you say things that I believe are quite in line with my own thoughts. I don’t know which huge slip-up you’re referring to, but I assure you that for someone like me who makes a living by writing, the phrase: "so convoluted and perverse" is a compliment. You can’t expect me to express my overall thought in 3 lines, so if you’re referring to the approximation with which I define the crap that surrounds us with the term "soft" magagne... I ask for forgiveness. I only meant to say that I (others I don't know) certainly don’t need the EXCELLENT journalist Travaglio to tell me that a good part of our ruling class is corrupt. And that in Italy there are swindlers. And there are those who feast at the expense of taxpayers. And that politics is a pure instrument of servility to economic power.
It should also be noted that the "TRAVAGLIO METHOD" would take root in a good part of the 1st and 2nd world countries... or not? Don’t you think? Do you know where it wouldn’t take root? Where they kill with stoning or similar those who unveil uncomfortable truths. Fortunately, Italy, magagne or not, is not one of those countries. Travaglio knows this, so he does his job well and swims in the gold that the system he opposes for a living allows him to earn. Good for him, I envy him quite a bit.

Dear Sir, I expressed my opinion. And you insulted me multiple times. Congratulations on the lesson in democratic and healthy ability to set up a dialectical and constructive discussion. Next time, I also expect lessons in Italian.

To the reviewer, I can only echo the criticisms that others have already made. Hero? Montanelli? Please... Mr. TRAVAGLIO, whom I have no difficulty in identifying as a "superior mind," is both a child and a shrewd manipulator of the very system he competently and indisputably opposes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t label his work "ad personam," a title that immediately attracts all those who expect from him the usual "cacca su silvio." The fact that within the work he also throws cacca on the left strikes me as a clever move to give an appearance of impartiality and to claim a professional credibility that, in my opinion, the excellent journalist should begin to cultivate by staying as far away as possible from those who sing "o bella ciao" oozing demagoguery from every pore while enjoying the billions that the supposed persecution has brought him (note: SANTORO). Essentially, my message is a timid warning against glorifying people who skillfully exploit the exaltation of the numerous institutional and non-institutional issues in our dear and ragtag Italy for their personal advantage. Demolishing is much easier than building.
