Why Edi Rama hates journalists

Edi Rama had been taking office as Culture Minister on that August 1998, when the journalist of the newspaper “Time to visit” covering this sector suffered an incident. He came out of his office crying and crying, he arrived in the editorial paper, with power not to reach any media in Albania.

Everyone worried about her tears until she showed the reason: After I managed to get into the office for an interview, Minister Rama waited for me, saying: “You, the next ignorant”?

Taught by threats, beatings, imprisonment, and so on, for us journalists who had surrounded our culture colleague, this was cushy, but strange behavior. Actually, we were deterred by this outright, unprecedented insult.

The short - time newsroom was suddenly quiet. We had been having fights for editorial attitudes in the newspaper, but never such a label. This kind of confrontation was sweet compared to what we had been through, but it was weird. How could a minister behave like this?

Only colleague Arion Sloo broke the silence, saying: “The truth told you”. We laughed. Of course, what Sulo said was a joke, but a joke that had reality in it, a reality that continues to be so today.

After 20 years, Edi Rama has not changed. He goes on to call it the next ignorant journalists, asking stupid questions that don't read, don't listen and don't have a level.

The pot word has nearly changed the context into the dictionary of Albanian. Not surprisingly, the current prime minister's understanding was also cited in the context of the word.

Whoever thinks Rama, that day, attacked the media to avoid the “Tahiri” scandal, is obviously mistaken. For me, this is either naive or servile behavior, to bring out Rama tactical, with the spalette general, who not only does what he wants but manages to choose until the political weather he wants.

But why does Rama treat the media regularly, right?

I think there are some convincing reasons we all know, but we didn't. We all think about them, but we don't. Perhaps now is the time to be blunt, and surprisingly, this time came from him, whom the journalists ' questions called idiot.

1. E DI RAMA NOUES KEA NEED FOR GAZETAR

He is the first prime minister to depreciate the role of real journalism. Idealer and author of ready tapes. The author of watching television with its own signal as brand, ERTV; identify and implementing an extremely special media relationship, he has actually managed to depreciate the role of journalist. The news is when Edi Rama thinks it's news. The news is not when Edi Rama doesn't think it is. In this way, he has accomplished this. There's another reason to confirm that. More than once, the prime minister has indicated he does not read newspapers. Are there more significant than what he declares? Of course, he does this because he does not need to read because he knows what the media contain, what it publishes, and what it conveys. In terms where he doesn't need journalists, there's no need even for the media.

2. E DI RAMA IS V HOME PRODUKS MEDIATIC YNI

Young journalists today suffer what we journalists with experience for two decades and above have done over the years. We have to say: Edi Rama is our product. Even the most critical journalists against him were once Benjamins. There are hundreds in my archive, if not thousands of journalists' writings that are now puffed up with the status of the great political analyst, who named Rama the shining star in Albania, with appreciation like him, as the politician Albania needs, and other labels like that. These are the very ones who today call Rama a media criminal, its devastating, and others. But okay, you got press colleagues, changed the way Edi Rama? How come he was very, very good then, but now he's very, very bad? No, no way. They were pleased to have luncheons, dined with the trend minister of culture, who were invited to the ministry, received endless projects from it and from the municipality, when the newspaper waited for hours after midnight to finish Rama's writing for himself but by someone else's name, while today they criticize it. A journalist who violates principles even once again cannot have moral criticism and comment on someone because he has been cleaned up.

3. E IF I REVIEW PUBLICIST

Edi Rama is one of the rare prime ministers who has masterfully exercised itself -- journalism, more precisely publicism. His writings in the newspaper “Our Time”, in 1995-1997, still remain unquenchable fires of the model as to how Berisha's power should be responded. A master of phrase cultivation, a very good expert in printing, is not excessive to say that Edi Rama can be compared in public with masters such as Fan Noli, Mitquet Frasher, Faik Konica, Vangel Kocha, Selahdin Toto, etc. That's a merit, and whoever doesn't know it or has a political opponent, or only he knows why he does it. Possessing this weapon, he never feels inferior to a journalist or analyst. Each scripture he looks at and reads, he compares it to what he himself could write, and if he does not find qualities, he knows how to react.

4. E THE FOOOD FOOOD FOOOD WITH PRONARYS

Why should we be surprised? Prime Minister Rama has relations with Albanian media owners himself. With rare exceptions, Edi Rama has such reports that if there is a case, there is no need to deal with journalist, editor and editor. He needs the owner, and they don't do him any good. And He is the Man of the Command. Rama is the first and only politician in Albania to depreciate in that religion the editor-in-chief's office, as we all know today, with small exceptions, whether to be editor-in-chief or not, it depends on Rama's mood. The chief editor, or director, has become just a transmission belt between Rama and the owner. He never decides for the editorial line, for the news perspective, for what should be published or for the place where he should pick up news and ypsise analysis. The editor-in-chief of Rama's era is, in fact, not editor-in-chief at all. And Rama doesn't even need one.

5. E DI RAMA AND MEDIA E CRAY

At times because of its own media and sometimes because of Rama's division, we have a scandalous relationship between the government and journalists today. We all know that there are journalists that Rama labels casa and sahanilapira. But there are also favorite journalists, who make up all kinds of ways. But there are also journalists who have left work because of him. Habia is how we journalists treat him. How come there's no solidarity among journalists when there's a problem? I regret some who have left their jobs, denouncing to the prime minister as the author of departure. But I have a question for these reporters: Where were they when their colleagues earlier left in the same circumstances? Or when they leave, the charge against Rama is valid, when others leave, is it not worth it? Unwittingly, some self-called senator journalists have implemented George Orwell's makeup that all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Simply, the prime minister knows this quality among divided journalists and rubs his hands.

6. MEDIA PROFESSIAL NIVEL

Edi Rama is right when he says journalists don't read. We hate to say it publicly, but why not just say it? Edi Rama is right when he says that. Currently, Albanian media is divided into three categories: In one part, journalists with very good backgrounds are very good readers, and their education is such. They have character and do not violate principles. In the second group, they include mediocre journalists, middle-level people who don't have enough basic knowledge, they steal around here and, professionally, they're more dangerous because they advertise like they know, but they don't. But giving an illusion like you know, these are the most dangerous species in our community. The third group is journalists who do not have any prominent but who are in the media, as part belongs to news journalists, reporters and young editors. With the second and third groups, Rama finds it easier to handle and label as he wishes. When he says that journalists don't read, even those of us who are in the media themselves, if we say so and think, he's right about fucking it.

7. E ♪ WRITER IN HISTORY

It was his wish and purpose, to speak in history. Although he entered politics through the back door, he aimed ever higher and higher. The duty of mayor and SP chairman was Maya. But he wanted the top of the top, the prime minister, who reached it in 2013. He's already got himself into history and this is the case of a decent movie scenario: How he achieved what Edi Rama aimed at, becoming the 33rd prime minister in the history of the Albanian state. More than that, to be ranked alongside Ismail Kemal, Fan Noli, Ahmet Zogut, Mustafa Merlices, etc. No better. Not even more. With the second mandate won, he has nothing left in political life. His goals for the future are to receive yet more successive mandates, but more so, to leave his successor trusted in the SP and government. So he doesn't need much media.

8. POLITIC ARJEA ENI RAMA

Edi Rama is at a time that doesn't have any particular emotion, even if he's wrong with the media. He never bit the lip when he had no power and was a small minister of the great SP government. Not now that he is prime minister “the great”, since he has won the second mandate with votes that no one has had in these 27 years, thinks only how he will senior. Then he'll write books with memories and maybe show you how he told reporters we asked stupid questions. / AFP.al/
