Case Insinna: Strip, are we sure it was really worth it?
For days now, part of the network has been engaged in having its say on the Insinna - Striscia la Notizia case and, hours later, fiery episodes, vitriolic statements and public apologies on social media, we too feel like having our say about one thing which, frankly, is getting out of hand for everyone. What we have witnessed in these days is, in our view, a demeaning and undignified theater that certainly the Italian public does not deserve, especially in a week, and in a general historical period, already fueled by too much hatred, revenge and spite.
Let's clarify it immediately: the sentences uttered by Flavio Insinna are rather unjustifiable and no one will try to gild them, however, are we really sure that the gesture of "stealing" them and behaving as a mercenary to the detriment of others is less indecorous than this? Not for us. But that's not all. We are sure that it is not even more deplorable for a successful, recognized and credible broadcast, to exploit a human weakness to the limit of shame, collected in a moment of private life - let us remember - to win the ratings? On this point too, frankly we have doubts.
But, is it really the case to talk about femicide?
But there is still more. In this furious rage against Insinna - which has lasted for days - a question has been brought up, to which we are particularly sensitive: femicide. That's right: to further discredit Insinna, the satirical news channel 5 sifted through the conductor's past, going to fish for the book he published in 2012, in which, according to the authors of the program, there would be very violent excerpts, comparable, for vehemence and malice, to the sentences pronounced in the " off the air "indicted, enough to be considered"a violence against women that goes as far as femicide ". What one wonders is whether the characters in question have a vague idea of the gravity of the phenomenon of femicide in Italy, of the shocking numbers that news and newspapers are forced to report every day in a culture that continues uninterruptedly to promote hatred and violence (here the numbers of 2016). And at this point we ask ourselves whether bringing up such a delicate and important question - which deserves sacred respect and a completely different treatment - for the very banal share is really so noble or if it is not perhaps like the sentences reported " by the "accused Insinna".
We should be careful, because to make a continuous and furious witch hunt one passes, in the end, to be the witches.

These are alarming data that confirm the gravity of the situation and the urgency of further awareness on such an important issue, as well as the spread of a culture that makes its way to the younger generations and that considers dialogue and openness as the only way of salvation to the concept of possession and violence.
