Mentana responds to Gruber: “Beneficiary of the news ratings” then he ‘regrets’ with the leaders of La7
Air of controversy at La7, after the journalist's outburst, at the opening of the 'Otto e mezzo' program
ROME – Air of controversy at La 7, after Lilly Gruber’s outburst at the opening of the program ‘Otto e mezzo’, which aired last night with over twenty minutes of delay due to the extension of the news program hosted by Enrico Mentana. “Incontinence is a bad thing”, said the landlady at the beginning of the episode, obviously annoyed.
When called into question for what happened, Enrico Mentana responded on social media, also complaining about the silence of the La7 leaders, who did not distance themselves from the “contemptuous judgement” of his colleague: “From one to nine percent in half ‘now. This is the audience curve – completely similar to those of the previous days – of last night’s news, marked by important and continuously updated events. However, that news was unpredictably followed by a gravely contemptuous opinion my comparisonsfrom those who host the next program, who are also direct beneficiaries of that ascending curve every evening. A judgment that so far no one among the top management of La7 has felt the need to distance yourself. Small episode, but very indicative. At this point, as is right, I distance myself from the rude and the slothful.”
