με το στυλ του παντως δειχνει οτι δεν κανει infotainment αλλα σκετο info, το οποιο αξιολογει μεγιστης σπουδαιοτητας.Οντως κανει, σαν τον Keaton, σαν να μην βρισκεται στο συγκεκριμενο δελτιο, αλλα καπου αλλου. Αυτη την ανακολουθια δεν μπορουσα παρα να τη σχολιασω! Ειναι σαν παντομιμα, δεν ξερω πως να το χαρακτηρισω, ειναι ενα καθαρο παραδειγμα αναντιστοιχιας αναμεσα στο ειναι και το φαινεσθαι…Ειναι παντως ενδιαφερον το φαινομενο, και μαλλον εχει δικαιο ο Evryteros που λεει ότι με το φαινεσθαι πειθει οτι το “ειναι ” που ειναι και το περιεχομενο του δελτιου, βρισκεται σε αντιστοιχια με το “φαινεσθαι”.Ενώ το σύνηθες, αυτο που θα περιμεναμε θα ηταν το “φαινεσθαι” να ηταν αντιστοιχο του “ειναι” και στη θεση του Αιμιλιου να βρισκοτανε ο Λάκης (ο Γαβαλας).Πετρούλα, πετρούλα, την εφαγε η κριση, θαναση!
