Misunderstandings and Public Perception: The Interview Fallout

"If there has been a misunderstanding and people got the wrong idea, I'm very sorry about that." This has been the most serious mistake of the last few months according to TikToker Patrick Facciolo. It's about blaming the audience. Naturally, this refers to Chiara Ferragni's interview by Fabio Fazio on Nove. The word misunderstanding, then, comes up repeatedly. "It becomes the biggest mistake of this interview," Facciolo continues. Meaning, it's no longer even a communication error, as Chiara Ferragni had previously said. He then traced it back to a problem, as they say in hermeneutic philosophy, that is, an interpretive one, by those who misunderstood the intentions. For the expert, the basic rule of media training is never to contradict the public's perception, especially when becoming adversarial towards the audience. Because, by shifting the semantic axis, that is, the meaning from a communication error to a misunderstanding, it's very difficult to rebuild the reputational image one is trying to restore.
