Reclaim respect: boycott Italian TV news

Marianna calls for a boycott of Italian TV news, in response to their treatment of the death of Enzo Baldoni:

"As a sign of respect towards the Baldoni family and of protest towards the shameful and violent irreverence of the media with regards to the suffering and dignity of others, I propose that over the coming days the TV is turned off each time a news item on the Baldoni case is broadcast... I remind both myself and others that, as Enzo Baldoni also demonstrated, to watch the news on TV does not mean accessing serious information, which can certainly be found elsewhere."

I couldn't agree more.

Today was the (highly symbolic) Italy-Iraq football match at the Olympics.
