Titolo: Dialetti

I have always heard "comasco" and "laghee" referring to the dialects of the 
region of Lake Como, but on RAI  I saw the following: �Davide Bernasconi, 
alias "Van De Sfroos", ci porta nel suo mondo interamente narrato in 
dialetto tramezzino (il dialetto del Lago di Como).� I thought a 
"tramezzino" was a sandwich, something like a "club sandwich". Could someone 
explain this to me?
Also, now that a certain politician is now also calling himself a singer, 
shouldn't he also adopt a stage name?
Davide Bernasconi > Van de Sfroos
Silvio Berlusconi > Van de ?

 dialetto tramezzino (il dialetto del Lago di Como).ï¿œ
It's a typo. It should be "tremezzino" = of Tremezzo, his native small town.

I copied and pasted that from the RAI site.

If you can't trust RAI, who can you trust? Mediaset? :>0
For a while, I was thinking that this new dialect must be a "sandwich" of 
laghee and comasco.  :>)

Ops...I shouldn't trust my memory so much! He was born in Monza, but 
grew up in the "Tremezzina" (Tremezzo area) on the Como Lake.

you cannot trust anyone. (have you ever watched x-files btw?).
the whole of british newspapers are not trustworthy.
nor is fully bbc, or the times.
the italian medias are not to be trusted too.
internet is not to be trusted.
i'm always a lot skeptic about news, especially certain kinds...

I've heard today form a reliable source (prof. Ilvo Diamanti)
that Italian (Berlusconian?) TV news report four times more
crime news than French or German TV.
Why?
To scare people and to hide other news (economy, f.ex.).
(my opinion)

I was a regular viewer. It did get a little too conspiratorial once in a 
while. The show had to be taken with a grain of salt, but I'm sure there are 
many people who, after watching the show, became believers in the 
ciupacabras, extraterrestrial kidnappings, etc.
The mysterious guy with the cigarette was a nice touch.

'I'm always very sceptical (skeptical US) about...'
'certain kinds' , 'a certain kind' both ok - depends what you want to say .

According to some studies, Italy ranks just a little better than Saudi 
Arabia, and just a little worse than Turkey, when it comes to corruption. 
Corruption always involves, to one degree or another, cooperation between 
criminal elements and public officials.
To imply that coverage of violence by the 'Ndrangheta, the Camorra, or Cosa 
Nostra is irresponsible is merely ignoring a serious problem.
Would you prefer that news of a courthouse in the Salento being bombed be 
hushed up?
Is Saviano just playing for publicity, or is Campania on the way to becoming 
Camorria, as he seems to suggest?

I never said that.
First of all I reported a scientific result of a survey made by
prof. Ilvo Diamanti (Urbino university) that compared TV news
in some European countries.
For what I understood of his explanation, when he refers 
to "crime news" he doesn't mean "organized crime" (i.e. Mafia,
Camorra, 'Ndrangheta &tc) but that kind of crime who scares the
average person much more than the former: rapes, holdups,
burglary and so on. 
Do you think the "vecchietta" who lives alone is scared by the
Mafia?
No, she is scared by the strange people she see on the bus who
speak a strange language.
I have not mentioned the different "news climate" when the crime
involves an immigrate person.
Of course if the TV news fill its limited time with a report of
a rape committed by an immigrate person, there is no time to
devote to such problems like unemployment and garbage
collecting in Naples.
