The article from Il Giornale discusses the backlash against Sigfrido Ranucci, host of the investigative program Report, following a report on a recent selection process at Rai for hiring journalists. This process had a stringent criterion, where only the top seven candidates would secure positions in their current productions, while the remaining 120 candidates would be assigned to local TGR outlets for a period of five years. Ranucci referred to this demotion as a form of 'deportation,' which triggered a significant response from unions, particularly Usigrai, the main union of Rai journalists, condemning his language as 'unacceptable.'

Tensions between Ranucci and the progressive left have escalated recently, particularly following remarks on LGBTQ+ issues and now with this terminology concerning the displaced journalists. The selection results showed that two journalists from Report secured spots among the top seven, a fact that the Giornale highlighted as particularly favorable to Ranucci's program, which drew ire from those outside his immediate supporter base. As unions rally against his choice of words, there is a growing discussion about the implications of organizational language and the treatment of employees within Rai.
