"He too is red, a cherry red that is unmatched even in the vermilion of Rai Tre. But he loves to play the opposite role. That of the innocent little priest without a parish, friend to all and enemy to none. In reality, in today's Rai, fragmented into sultanates, there is no one more partisan than him. His little hand is wrapped in grey velvet, but inside he hides a poisoned stiletto. It is with this blade that Fazio practises inflexible censorship. [...] Fazio had invited Pietro Ingrao [...]. In a fit of memory loss, the old communist leader claimed that the Italian Communist Party had distanced itself from the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. A complete falsehood, as history teaches us. But Fazio and the invited audience were careful not to object. Not even a murmur, a cough, a sidelong glance. Why? q:it:Edmondo Berselli, a free-thinking intellectual who recently passed away, explained it thus in L'Espresso: ‘Because at that moment, the senescent but not senile apotheosis of an impossible communism, a utopia, a great dream, an assault on heaven, was being celebrated. And so much the worse for the facts, if the facts interrupt the emotions’. Fazio is not interested in the truth. Especially when he paints a picture of Italian history and reality that clashes with his narrow political horizon."
