Sparks at La7 with the all-televised clash between the network's spearheads, Lilli Gruber and Enrico Mentana.
The former, presenter of Otto e mezzo, openly protested for the line handed over late by the latter, director of the news broadcast shortly before: «Welcome at 8.46pm and not at eight thirty - said Gruber at the beginning of the episode - . And not even at Eight and a Half. Incontinence is a bad thing. Sorry for this delay ."
An annoyed joke which was followed by Enrico Mentana's post on Instagram: « From one to nine percent in half an hour. This is the audience curve - completely similar to those of previous days - of last night's TgLa7, marked by important and continuously updated events".
«However, that news program – he continues – was unpredictably followed by a grossly contemptuous judgment towards me by the person hosting the next programme, who is also the direct beneficiary of that ascending curve every evening . A judgment from which so far no one among the La7 leaders has felt the need to distance themselves. Small episode, but very indicative. At this point, as is right, I distance myself from the rude and the lazy", he concludes.
